Maruti Suzuki India Unveils Next Generation Ertiga: Prices, Specification & Other Features
After more than a month of teasers, Maruti Suzuki India has unveiled the next generation car of its popular MPV (Multi-Purpose Vehicle) Ertiga. The new Ertiga comes with a few minor changes on the inside and the outside.
The key highlight about this MPV is that it gets an all-new K-series 1.5-litre Dual Jet petrol engine which is paired with a 6-speed automatic gearbox and paddle shifters which is the first in any Maruti Suzuki model. The paddle shifters are mounted on the steering wheel of the automatic variants, which lets you shift gear with your thumbs giving a more convenient driving experience.

As before the 5-speed manual gearbox also comes as standard in the Ertiga.
