Maruti Suzuki Ertiga

If you were looking at the Ertiga, thinking it could be the ideal 7-8 seater alternative to the Innova, and a much cheaper one and that, well you need to think again. Yes, the Ertiga will be cheaper than the Innova when it is launched early next month and by a significant margin, no doubt. In fact, it would most likely be SX4 monies, but it just isn't a proper seven-seater to be an alternative to the Toyota. It's more like a 5+2 with the +2 best left folded to free up luggage space.

The Ertiga is a very smart car and can fit a variety of purposes. If you are looking for a roomy five-seater with good luggage space, the Ertiga does it well.

Pros: Space, handling, gear shift quality, diesel engine
Cons: Narrow shoulder room, flat seats, interiors don't match up to the indicated price
