Maruti Suzuki recently launched the 2022 Ertiga in India with prices starting from ₹ 8.35 lakh, going up to ₹ 12.79 lakh, ex-showroom. The new Ertiga gets exterior and interior cosmetic updates with a new engine under the hood.
On the outside, the updated Ertiga gains a new front grille with an embedded ‘winged’ chrome trim, new dual-tone alloy wheels and chrome garnish on the tailgate. On the inside, the Ertiga gets a new Metallic Teak Wooden finish (faux wood) on the dashboard and a new dual-tone seat fabric. There are also two new exterior colours to choose from — Splendid Silver and Dignity Brown.
As for the engine, the Ertiga is now powered by a new 1.5-litre four-cylinder DualJet engine with start-stop technology. It produces 103hp and 136.8Nm, which is 2hp and 1.2Nm lower than the outgoing 1.5 engine. While a 5-speed manual gearbox is standard, the aging 4-speed torque-converter automatic has finally been replaced by a new 6-speed unit with paddle shifters. With this setup, the Ertiga facelift claims to achieve 20.51kpl with the manual gearbox and 20.30kpl with the auto.
