Maruti Ertiga facelift caught at dealer stockyard

Thank you to Anand Pandey for sending in these images. Heartfelt gratitude for sharing it with fellow enthusiasts!

Maruti Suzuki is all set to launch the Ertiga facelift. The variant and feature list was leaked earlier this month and we now have an up close and personal look at the MPV ahead of its official reveal. As stated earlier, the SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle from Suzuki) i.e. engine idle start / stop and brake energy regeneration technology would make its way from the Ciaz to other models in Maruti’s portfolio, including the refreshed Ertiga, which should see its ARAI fuel economy rating go up.

The variant pictured is the range topping ZDi+ variant that gets features like an engine start / stop button, the SmartPlay touchscreen infotainment system, reverse parking sensors and a reverse parking camera. Visually the Ertiga facelift gets reworked headlamp internals, a new chrome front grille, a new front bumper with larger fog lamp enclosures and chrome accents, restyled alloy wheels, a large Ertiga branded chrome applique at the rear and the SHVS badge on the tailgate. 

Maruti is expected to launch the updated Ertiga later this month.
