According to our sources, the facelifted Maruti Ertiga will go on sale by March. The MPV has already been spied testing with minimal camouflage. It will be one of the eight launches that Maruti has planned for this year.

The earlier spy shots reveal that it gets a new mesh grille and a black strip connecting the tail lamps. The bumpers, headlights, tail lights, and alloys look unchanged.

The cabin is expected to receive a new interior shade and revised upholstery. New features could include a larger touchscreen infotainment with connected car tech, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, wireless charging, an updated instrument cluster, and cruise control.

The updated Ertiga shall continue with its existing set of features, including automatic AC, projector headlamps, engine push start/stop button, dual front airbags, hill hold control, ESP (electronic stability programme), and a rear parking camera.

There should be no mechanical changes onboard. It should continue with its 104PS 1.5-litre petrol engine. While its existing 5-speed manual transmission will continue, the 4-speed torque converter might be replaced for a newer unit. The optional CNG will also be retained.

The Maruti Ertiga retails from Rs 8.12 lakh to Rs 10.85 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The updated model will demand a premium over the existing prices. The MPV will continue without any direct rivals, but facing some competition from the Renault Triber and the upcoming Kia Carens.
