New Maruti Ertiga Facelift Launch Details Revealed

Maruti Suzuki will launch the new Ertiga facelift between Dussehra and Diwali. Maruti Suzuki has chosen the right time to launch the new Ertiga as most of the people buy new vehicles during the festive season. The new Ertiga is already on sale in several global markets.

The report also states that the new Maruti Ertiga will be sold through the Arena dealership network and not through the premium Nexa dealerships. Maruti Suzuki will continue to retail the first-gen Ertiga with a Tour badging similar to the Dzire Tour. The Ertiga Tour will be targeted towards fleet owners.

On the exterior, the new Maruti Ertiga gets a new front end with a new grille, projector headlamps and fog lamps. Overall, the new Ertiga looks premium and upmarket as compared to the outgoing model. On the side profile, the new MPV features a floating roof design and new alloy wheels.

The rear end of the new Maruti Ertiga facelift features an L-shape split tail light cluster, a chrome strip running across the boot and a muscular bumper. On the interior, the new Ertiga will feature a touchscreen infotainment system and upmarket seat upholstery with beige colour treatment.

The new Maruti Ertiga will draw power from a new 1.5-litre petrol engine which made it debut with the Ciaz. The diesel engine will be the same 1.3-litre unit and the company is expected to update the diesel engine at a later phase. Transmission options include a manual and automatic gearbox.

Thoughts On The Maruti Ertiga Facelift

The Maruti Ertiga facelift will be a premium product as compared to the outgoing model. The new Ertiga will be loaded with a host of features to take on the likes of the new Mahindra Marazzo and even the Toyota Innova Crysta. The new Ertiga looks almost similar to the Innova Crysta with its bold front end and large proportions.
