The 2018 Maruti Ertiga (2018 Suzuki Ertiga) is an important product not only for India but also for Indonesia, where MPVs dominate the PV market. According to a report from Autonetmagz, it will have its world debut at IIMS 2018 this month.
Spy shots suggest that the next-gen Maruti Ertiga will have a bigger body than the current Maruti Ertiga. It will measure longer than the original model and have a more rakish back glass. It will likely ride on a stretched version of the all-new Maruti Swift’s Heartect platform and have a wheelbase longer than 2,450 mm.
The current Maruti Ertiga is available with the K14B 1.4-litre VVT petrol engine and the D13A 1.3-litre DDiS diesel engine. Maruti Suzuki is expected to replace the Fiat-sourced diesel engine with a new 1.5-litre diesel engine developed by Suzuki. However, it’s unknown whether the company will offer the new engine in the redesigned model right from the beginning or introduce it at a later stage. As for the 1.4-litre petrol engine, it could get replaced by the 1.5-litre petrol engine that reports say is planned for the facelifted Maruti Ciaz.
