2022 Maruti Suzuki Ertiga Details Leaked: Sports A New 1.5-Litre Petrol Engine With More Power

Moreover, Maruti Suzuki is also gearing up to launch the updated version of the 2022 Maruti Suzuki XL6. However, the launch of the more premium XL6 will be commenced only after the launch of the more affordable Ertiga.

Speaking about the updated version of the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, both Ertiga and the XL6 MPVs feature a new 1.5-litre K15C Dualjet naturally-aspirated petrol engine. This engine develops 113.4bhp of peak power, compared to 103.5bhp developed by previous iterations of the MPVs.

In addition to the new power unit, the updated Maruti Suzuki Ertiga may sport a new 6-speed automatic transmission instead of the old 4-speed automatic gearbox.

According to the leaked details regarding the upcoming updated version of the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, the updated version is available in 11 different variants, which include 4 petrol-only variants equipped with manual transmission, 1 petrol-only 'Tour' variant, 3 petrol-only automatic variants, 2 CNG variants, and 1 CNG 'Tour' variant.

In addition to that, the updated version of the Maruti Suzuki also comes in 7 different exterior colour options. These options include Pearl Metallic Arctic White, Prime Oxford Blue, Pearl Metallic Dignity Brown, Splendid Silver, Magma Grey, Auburn Red, and Midnight Black.

In terms of design, the updated Maruti Suzuki Ertiga is most likely to sport only minor updates on the exterior and we expect these changes to be limited to updated front and rear bumpers, a slightly refreshed front grille, and a set of new alloy wheels.

However, Maruti Suzuki is likely to offer the updated Ertiga with new interior colour schemes and more premium-feeling upholstery.

Though the outgoing version of the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga is reasonably well-equipped with the inclusion of features such as AC vents on all three rows, a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, the MPV does fall a bit short on some features by today's standards.

With the update, expect Maruti Suzuki to add some features from the newly launched Maruti Suzuki Baleno. This will add a newly updated infotainment unit with a larger 9-inch SmartPlay Pro+ touchscreen infotainment unit, a 360-degree surround-view camera, a leather-wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel and a few more additional features.

We also expect Maruti Suzuki to up the safety standards of the upcoming version of the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga by offering up to 6-airbags as standard and a few more additional safety features.

Thoughts About 2022 Maruti Suzuki Ertiga

The updated version of the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga is part of Maruti Suzuki's plan to launch six new models by mid-2022. Apart from that, the updated version of the Ertiga will give the MPV a new breath of life and an additional boost in sales.
