Maruti Suzuki
Ertiga is getting a facelift in India and here are the first spy pictures of
the MUV (LUV), thanks to Gaadiwaadi.com. The facelfited Ertiga will be launched early
next year.
Maruti Ertiga
has been getting stiff competition from newly launched Honda Mobilio. Also plans
of entering of new manufactures in the segment have further heated up the
competition. Renault and Datsun are planning to launch a MPV in Indian market
soon. Toyota is coming up with new Innova and since the Ertiga was basically
launched as a low cost alternative to Innova, it makes sense to give a facelift
make the MUV look fresh and elegant.
The Ertiga
facelift will get some aesthetic changes in the form of redesigned bumper and
grill, new set of alloy wheels and some interior changes to make it look
attractive. Certain features could also be carried from the newly launched
Swift, like push button start etc.
There will not
be any major changes under the hood. The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga will be continued
to be powered with the same 1.4L K Series petrol with 95 Ps power and 130Nm torque
and the 1.3L DDiS diesel with 90 Ps power and 200 Nm of torque. There is
expected to be minor changes in the gear ratios that will help in improving
fuel efficiency.
