Maruti's budget MPV segment car has received a host of mechanical and cosmetic updates over the outgoing Ertiga, said Car Dekho, adding that the new car's wheelbase remains the same at 2740mm.

The new Ertiga is bigger - 99mm longer, 40mm wider and 5mm taller, and it will be available with the new 1.5-litre petrol engine with SHVS technology, which has been used in the facelifted Ciaz, offering an extra 12PS of power over the existing engine. The 89PS 1.3-litre diesel engine variant, however, is likely to see no change in output or transmission, the report said.

The front and rear of the car has received extensive cosmetic changes with a new front grille and bumper, new tailgate, narrower projector headlamps and new tail lights, it added.

The dashboard has been overhauled, and the new Ertiga sports features including the SmartConnect touchscreen infotainment unit with faux wood trim and flat-bottom steering wheel, the report said, adding that the front cupholders are ventilated, all rows of seats get adjustable headrests, while the third row seats are reclinable. Notably, the third row seats will also get their own cupholders and a 12V charging socket.

Notably, the new Ertiga is expected to have safety features like ABS, dual front airbags, rear parking sensors and ISOFIX child seat anchors as standard across the range.
