It is 4,324mm long from afar but inside it feels too tight to mention, suffice to indicate for someone my height it was way too perfect. Fitted with buttons and hexagonal shaped surfaces decoration, it featured a stronger dual-zone climate control, leather seats, Bluetooth connectivity, USBs and there’s a thumping sound system with an onboard […]

Longer, wider, taller and lighter the Ertiga model features a new, more powerful, naturally-aspirated 1.5-litre petrol engine that […]
