Yes. The seats can be pushed back by a bit more than half the maximum travel, which is good enough. With headrests in place, seats can't be pushed back, however it is extremely easy to remove the headrests by pushing a button and pulling them out. |

The Ertiga backrest fares pretty poorly IMHO, compared to the Innova, what with limited leg space and a fixed backrest that cannot be adjusted Last edited by Buffetfan : 17th April 2012 at 08:43. | |

For long trips, it's a 5-seater or at the most 5-seater + 1 kid because anyway you'll have to use some of the space in the 3rd row for luggage on long trips. I guess, it's the same with Innova and Xylo as well. Luggage space on boot is limited for this class of vehicles. So, if you have to carry 7 persons for a long trip, carrying the luggage for 7 people becomes almost impossible on these 7-seaters. Quote:

To the best of my knowledge, its adding another evaporator coil and not adding second compressor. Having two compressors would have a very big impact on engine ( and FE ). But still I am not sure, from what I have read, its adding another evaporator coil. Thats why these mods are done even outside ( other than Authorized A.S & S network ). Also, having two compressors would raise question like when will the second compressor start, only when rear AC vents are switched ON ? Or when the AC is switched on in the front ( common switch for both compressors ). Do confirm and if possible, update the thread.

| ![]() Comparing to Xylo is fruitless. Ertiga is going to be a class leading vehicle, therefore comparison should come from present class leaders. Further Xylo is a flawed product with poor Handling & lack of safety. @Amalji, thanks. I will try out the vehicle today. Btw what are the delivery timelines as of now & how many bookings across India? |

| ![]() Comparing the Ertiga to the Innova is quite pointless...Those who have the moolah will go for Innova anyday...the sheer comfort that Innova offers makes it a worthy buy. Ertiga is positioned to lure the middle class who were thinking of upgrading from a hatckback to a sedan.For the price range, you suddenly have the option of a semblance of an SUV. A multi-functioning car, the luxury of offering to carry 7 people like an SUV, the option of hauling your entire family luggage on a long trip without worrying about boot space, and the sheer feel of a big car. Those who drive in the streets in hatchbacks will know how the feeling of intimidation that a passing SUV generates. This Ertiga gives a feel good factor about that as well. Compare the Ertiga with the likes of Etios, Manza Dezire etc, and suddenly it seems to be more value for the same amount of money. I am still skeptical about the third row of seats and the overall package. But as far as judging consumer mindset is concerned, maruti has hit the bulls eye. |

| ![]() Saw an Ertiga VDi on the road today. Looked almost as huge as an Innova from side-on. A comprehensive TBHP report will be eagerly awaited. |

In terms of reliability Nothing beats the Toyota Hilux platform(On which Innova is based). Also service costs are about half of the maruti for Toyota. Basic service including the Wheel balancing for Toyota costs Rs 550 + Tax Where as the same for a maruti is Rs 900 + tax | ||

I will agree with you here on Innova. the third row isn't that bad as its made out to be. I too have travelled in it for quite long distances and found the only issue to be a lack of window like the middle row, which makes it a bit uncomfortable. And the case is same for Xylo too. But the last row are strictly for 2 full grown adults not 3. | |

But I'm sure, the picture with that person in the third row is taken by moving the second row towards the front than the position he is sitting in second row. | |

But I'm seeing a gap behind the second row. That's what creates doubt in me. |

You seem to be right there. When I took the photo someone else who was observing the vehicle at the same time seems to have adjusted the middle row. But, at the same time, I have tried it myself and can say that the rear seat provides just about ok space. Your knee softly presses against the middle row. But, it's just adequate for short trips though. Will take a snap once more, when I visit the showroom again. |
