Maruti Suzuki is set to launch the new-gen Ertiga on November 21, 2018. Meanwhile, dealers have started accepting bookings for the MPV for an amount of Rs 11,000. The new Ertiga will be powered by Maruti’s tried-and-tested 1.3-litre diesel engine which puts out 90hp and 200Nm and a new 1.5-litre petrol engine borrowed from the Ciaz which is good for 105hp and 138Nm of torque. Both engines will come with mild-hybrid technology and will come mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox, with a 4-speed torque converter automatic offered on the petrol versions. The MPV will be available in 10 variants for buyers to choose from.
