"Even before the launch of the Ertiga here, we have had 400 bookings from Maharashtra," Maruti Suzuki commercial business head for western region, S N Burman, told reporters in Mumbai on Thursday evening.
Besides, the company has received large number of enquiries about the Ertiga, priced at Rs 623,000-888,000.
"The Ertiga is a major step forward for Maruti. Many urban families are now looking for a vehicle that offers more space and flexibility than a sedan, without being bulky, bland and expensive like a utility vehicle.
"The Ertiga is designed for these customers," Maruti managing director and chief executive S Nakanishi said.
The company plans to take the Ertiga to other Southeast Asian markets too.
