Maruti Suzuki Ertiga Summary

The new-gen Ertiga moves to the new Heartect platform which also used in the Swift, Dzire, Wagon r and Baleno. You can feel Ertiga's new bold styling which includes a new grille with horizontal louvers flanked by sleeker headlamps. The headlight units get projectors and LED daytime running lights. The bumpers get stylish elements like the raked damper around the fog lamps and contrasting black surrounds. The silhouette retains the floating roof design similar to the Swift. At the rear, there is a revised tailgate and L-shaped taillights extending to the D-pillar. The new model has also grown in dimensions. The length has increased by 100mm to 4395mm. At 1735mm, it is 40mm wider than the older car and at 1690mm, it is also 5mm taller. However, the wheelbase remains the same at 2,740mm. The MPV now gets 15-inch alloy wheels.

The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga is available with the new K15B 1.5-litre petrol engine that generates around 103bhp of power with 138Nm of torque. The new petrol replaces the existing 1.4-litre engine.

It has a claimed efficiency of 26.08km/kg but the performance drops to 92PS and 122Nm. The diesel version gets the tried and tested 1.3-litre unit.

The flat-bottom steering wheel is retained and adds a sporty touch to the cabin. The dual-tone cabin with wooden inserts gets ample storage space and more room than the outgoing car.
