Exteriors Looks and Design
Compared to the older generation models, the new Ertiga features a much sharper and bolder look at the front. The large chrome grille and the masculine bumper complements the overall design language of the car. From the sides, the Etiga looks proportionate and the alloy wheels attract a lot of attention. The rear profile of the car, however, looks nice but we would have appreciated it if it had a more subtle look.

A beige colour cabin can be seen in the Ertiga which does look premium but may get dirty and will be difficult to keep clean in the longer run. The cabin is spacious and gets a 7-seat configuration.
