Maruti Suzuki Ciaz vs Maruti Suzuki Ertiga Comparison

Maruti Suzuki has done a fine job on the Ciaz facelift. The car looks and feels much more premium now, the new mild hybrid petrol engine and the overall package does make for a compelling look at the new Maruti Suzuki Ciaz. However, On the highway, the car takes time to build up speed. The Maruti Suzuki Ciaz was never the one for spirited driving, but a little more urgency from the engine would have been welcome.

In our overall assessment, the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga is a dependable and efficient seven-seater that is built for practicality. It does not attempt to be sporty or overtly premium. Instead, it concentrates on predictable driving manners, manageable ownership costs, and day-to-day usability.

Cyrus Dhabhar concludes:

“If you’ve been waiting to decide whether to buy the new Ertiga, our answer is a definitive and thumping yes.”

He further adds:

“And if you're worried about your next Uber or Ola being the same car as yours, Maruti Suzuki has made it clear that this new generation is aimed at the private market… at least for now.”

If you prioritise larger screens and feature-heavy cabins, some rivals may appear more attractive. But if your requirements centre around seating flexibility, ease of driving, and long-term peace of mind, the Ertiga remains one of the most sensible MPVs in its segment.
