Could the Maruti Tour V (O) surprise us by being a hit in the young, budget conscious buyer segment?

If I was a young buyer, I would think about it. The car is something that you could save money on and put that money toward travel or starting a business. Also, there’s a certain coolness to doing something different and unique.

If Maruti markets it right, it could work. Talk up the practicality angle and feature this as a do it all car for work and play. Or maybe even collaborate with some young influencers to show its potential.

I think it's a stretch. Young buyers may be budget conscious but they’re also conscious of image. The Tour V (O) may be too utilitarian to get beyond its "taxi" image among youth.

In an ironic, hipster sort of way, it could become popular. Just as some young people are into old, boxy Volvos. In fact, the no frills vibe the Tour V (O) might actually become its selling point.

I’ve just bought my first car, and when I was looking for a car I considered the Tour V (O). I liked the space and low running costs, but I went for something with more features. Young buyers who grew up with smartphones find it a tough sell.
Should large family on a budget go for the Tour M or stay with the regular Ertiga?

If you're really tight on budget, the Tour M might work. You will, however, miss out on some of the comfort features that make the Ertiga a great family car.

I'd say go for it! And most of the "missing" features are just frills anyway, and the savings could be substantial. The extra cash in their pocket will be appreciated by a large family.

It's not worth it. The regular Ertiga isn’t much more expensive, and you get a much better overall package. You also avoid any registration hassles.

As a person that drove both, I can say that Tour M is good enough for family purposes. In short, it is nothing but an Ertiga minus the bling.

Think about the long term. But Tour M may be cheaper now, only to have those savings eaten up by lower resale value and possibly higher maintenance costs.

Why not? Go for it if it meets your needs and if it saves you money. If you really miss something, you can always add aftermarket features.

I would worry about safety features. If they have cut corners there, it’s not worth risking your family’s safety for some savings.
How does the Tour M perform and how reliable is it when put in heavy commercial use against other MPVs of its class?

According to some taxi drivers, the Tour M is doing pretty good. It seems Maruti’s reliability reputation has survived into their commercial vehicles.

I think it's overrated. Yes, it's reliable, but so are most modern MPVs. Under heavy use, the Tour M really doesn't stand out in terms of performance.

The key is maintenance. The Tour M will run into lakhs of kilometers if you stick to the service schedule.

I've driven the Tour M and some competitor MPVs for commercial use and the Tour M feels a bit underpowered when fully laden. It’s a reliable, but not a top performer.

In fact, the suspension on the Tour M is really quite robust. It is better at handling Indian roads than some more expensive MPVs I've driven.

Let’s not forget the massive service network Maruti has. Even if it’s not the best performer, that alone makes the Tour M a solid choice for commercial use.

Long term ownership costs, I think, are the real test. Although not the most powerful, the Tour M is a winner for many fleet operators because of its cheap spare parts and low maintenance costs.
Is the Maruti Tour M just a re branded Ertiga for fleet operators?
30 December 2024 09:17
Now, it's definitely a rebadged Ertiga, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. This move by Maruti is apt since they know their market well and thereby can serve both personal and commercial segments equally.
