We are here at the launch of India’s favourite MPV, the new generation Ertiga from Maruti Suzuki. Many details of this car are out already, it gets a much more premium feel than before. This car will replace the current generation Ertiga and will be sold across all Maruti Suzuki dealerships and not through Nexa as believed earlier. We will cover the launch live and embed the live streaming of the launch event below once the event starts. We will have to wait for the event to conclude to know the prices of this MPV.
The car will be offered with a choice of two engines – a new 1.5-litre petrol and the old 1.3-litre diesel oil burner. Both the engines will get Maruti’s SHVS hybrid system, while the petrol engine gets a dual battery set-up the diesel will only get a single battery as seen in the current car. The exterior gets a revamped design language, with a much more premium look. A new grille with generous chrome inserts can be found on the front end with a new projector headlight assembly. The side profile gets a larger greenhouse area, giving a sense of extra space on the inside. The rear is much more dramatic than before and is the most beautiful angle on this car.
