Maruti Ertiga 2018 Variants, Colour Options Revealed; Bookings Now Open

• Prices of the new Ertiga will be announced on 21 November

• Booking amount for the new Ertiga has been set at Rs 11,000

• Will be available in 4 variants: L, V, Z and Z+

• Automatic transmission option with the new petrol engine on V and Z variants

• Will be available in 5 exterior colour options

Maruti Suzuki has officially opened bookings for the new Ertiga at Rs 11,000. Prices of the 2018 Ertiga will be announced on 21 November 2018 and it will be sold via Maruti’s Arena dealerships and not Nexa.

Maruti Suzuki has also revealed that the new Ertiga will be available in 4 variants: L, V, Z and Z+. While both petrol and diesel engines can be had in any of the four variants with a manual transmission, the automatic transmission will be available only in the V and Z variants with the petrol engine.

The petrol engine will be the 1.5-litre unit that also powers the Ciaz facelift. This engine is paired with the mild-hybrid tech in the Ciaz and we expect the Ertiga to get the same SHVS tech as well. Under the Ciaz’ hood, this engine makes 105PS of maximum power and 138Nm of peak torque. It’s paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and a 4-speed torque converter automatic.

The Ertiga will be available with the same 1.3-litre diesel engine as before. Like before, there will be SHVS tech on offer with this engine as well. This engine produces 89PS of maximum power and 200Nm of peak torque on the outgoing Ertiga and we expect the output to remain the same on the new model.

The new Ertiga will be based on Suzuki’s Heartect platform, which it shares with the Swift and Dzire. It will be longer (by 99mm) and wider (by 5mm) than the outgoing Ertiga and will also have a bigger boot. The wheelbase will, however, be identical, at 2740mm.

The outgoing Ertiga was also based on the old Swift’s platform. But in its first generation, the Ertiga also shared its interior dashboard design with the Swift hatchback. However, this time around, the MPV’s dashboard will be different from the Swift’s or the Dzire’s.

The new Ertiga is expected to pack more goodies than before in all its variants. The current version gets a driver airbag as standard feature across the lineup, with the base variant offering passenger airbag and ABS as optional. In the new Ertiga, we expect all these features and rear parking sensors and Isofix child seat mounts to come as standard.

The teaser image of the India-spec Maruti Suzuki Ertiga features projector headlamps; these are not there in the outgoing model. We assume the image is of the top Z+ variant and can make out that it gets fog lamps, chrome door handles, new design alloy wheels and turn indicators placed on ORVMs. Maruti Suzuki has revealed that the new Ertiga will be available in 5 exterior colour options: red, grey, blue, white and silver.

We expect the new Ertiga to be priced at a slight premium over the current model, which retails in the Rs 6.34 lakh to Rs 10.69 lakh (ex-showroom New Delhi) range. For more details on bookings, refer to the official press release below.
