Maruti Ertiga 2018 model iteration will launch in India during the festive season this year. It comes with an all-new exterior and interior design. Along with this, it is based on the new HEARTECT platform and hence it lighter and safer than before. A new petrol engine is on the card as well.
By the festive season this year, Maruti Suzuki is likely to launch the 2018 iteration of the Ertiga MPV in India. The vehicle is already in its testing phase with several sighting of the test mule reported so far. Before its official launch in India, the next-generation Ertiga has already broken cover at the 2018 Indonesia Auto Show. Hence, most of the details regarding this vehicle are already with us. For instance, the new model of the Ertiga is based on Suzuki’s HEARTECT platform and hence is a completely new vehicle from the ground up. In addition to this, the interior and the exterior design have also changed quite considerably. Also, the new Ertiga will score better in terms of its features and safety equipment. Also, we have every reason to believe that the updated version of this MPV is going to come with a new petrol engine. 
The 2018 Ertiga features a host of improvements in comparison to the outgoing model. We have every reason to believe that it is going to be considerably up-market than the current generation model. Consequently, Maruti can marginally increase the prices of the next-gen Ertiga. Currently, the base petrol variant of this MPV retails at INR 6.16 Lakh. While the top of the line diesel version costs INR 10.45 Lakh.
| Expected Price | INR 6.5 Lakh to INR 10.5 Lakh | |
