Maruti Ertiga is expected to hit Indian roads in April

India’s biggest carmaker Maruti Suzuki Ltd is stepping into the world of Multipurpose Vehicle with the launch of their new product Ertiga. Once it hits the Indian roads, it will be a competitor for Toyota’s best selling Innova. This MPV has a passenger capacity of seven in three rows. It is available in petrol and diesel. The front looks like a Swift and the rear looks like Ritz. In fact, Ertiga is an extended form of Swift Ritz. It is even good for the city drive since Ertiga has the length of Swift Dzire. Petrol model offers 16.02 Km/Litre in ideal test conditions and could deliver 10-12 Km in city roads. Diesel model offers 20.77 Km/Litre in test drive and could deliver 14-15 Kms in city drive.

“The Ertiga brings space and compactness to utility vehicle customers in India. It will create a new compact MPV segment in India,” Shinzo Nakanishi, managing director and CEO, Maruti Suzuki Ltd said.

Experts expects it to be priced around Rs. 10-11 lakh while the company promised that Ertiga will be attractively priced. The company is expecting to sell Ertiga in Indian markets in April this year.
