Interestingly he said the boot space has not improved, however seeing all the videos, I am fairly confident that the boot is more usable now (perhaps with the 3rd row recline angle)

I own the original Ertiga and the 3rd row recline angle almost touches the rear hatch and hinders the boot space.

I only wish it came with a better AT.

These pics of Suzuki Ertiga Sport which is on display at GIIAS 2018 Indonesia, looks awesome.

I heard that dealers started unofficial booking for New Ertiga stating the launch will be in September?!! Booking amount is 11K. Is this true?

New Ertiga spied on test in its final lap, to get 1.5 liter petrol and diesel SHVS engine. Launch in festive season ( August/October)




Report indicates the new Ertiga will be retailed through Nexa while the current Ertiga will continue to be on sale, via the regular dealers catering to the taxi segment.

While Autocar India indicates the (DDiS )diesel to be retained as is, this report indicates the Suzuki Diesel engine to debut in Ertiga!

The new 1.5 will become the next national engine for sure! Expect FGT in Swift, Baleno etc and VGT in Ertiga, Ciaz, S-Cross etc.

Thanks to Raj Dubey for sending these images in. Heartfelt gratitude for sharing it with other enthusiasts via this Team-BHP page!

Look at my tail! Emissions testing...ensuring compliance for BS6?

Front grill appears cluttered to my eyes. Suzuki calls it premium, however combination of horizontal lines & dashes appears cluttered to me.

So, downloaded image from Suzuki, Indonesia website and created different alternatives.

Option 1 (Only horizontal lines)



Option 2 (Dashes with top most horizontal line)




Option 3 (Only dashes)



Option 4 (Entire chrome delete)

Previous reports stated that Maruti will be readying a crossover variant on the new Ertiga too, which would launch within 6 months of the MPV going on sale. However, Maruti's, CV Raman, Senior Executive Director (Engineering), hinted otherwise.

Every single option you've put out looks better than the original.

New Maruti Suzuki Ertiga Launch In Late October. New Diesel engine to be launched closer to BSVI time frame.

The new Maruti Suzuki Ertiga MPV will be launched in the last week of October between Dussehra and Diwali. The MPV will get both petrol and diesel engines and both an automatic and manual gearbox.

The tried and tested 1.3-litre diesel will also continue for now with an updated engine expected later.

Option 4 for me. It's a totally different car with that front.

Quite some time back, I had said the same thing that the 1.5L Diesel will be delayed as there are issues with its emissions after few thousand kilometers as told to me. It's wise enough to make a BS6 engine and launch it around that time when BS6 norms kick in rather than launch a half baked BS4 product now and try to make it BS6 later.

Did Maruti hire members from the M&M design team by any chance . Was looking at the 3/4 view in the video review by Shapur Kotwal and my first impression was that it looks like hearse!

Ertiga ready for launch , likely to be retailed through the existing M S Arena channel.
