2018 India-spec Maruti Ertiga Interiors Spied; Gets Automatic Transmission

It is also equipped with automatic climate control unlike the Indonesia-spec car

2018 Indonesia-spec Ertiga

Suzuki showcased the 2018 Ertiga in Indonesia in April 2018. And since then, we have been expecting Maruti Suzuki to bring the MPV to India. However, the India-spec second-gen Ertiga is still in testing phase. Recently, a camouflaged test mule of the upcoming MPV was spied, which also offered a peek into its cabin.

On the inside, the India-spec car looks nearly identical to its Indonesian counterpart. It looks more premium than its predecessor. The dashboard features a new layout and the faux wood insert divides it into half along its length. And while it gets 4 air con vents on the dashboard, it also gets an Audi-like treatment that mimics a large single air-con vent spanning the entire length of the dashboard.

However, the Indian-spec car seems better equipped than the Indonesian version. From what we can see in the spied image, the India-spec Ertiga gets automatic climate control instead of manual AC. The slapped-on floating touchscreen infotainment system also looks different and is expected to be the 7-inch SmartPlay unit instead of the 6.8-inch unit found in the Indonesia-spec car.

The spied image also depicts an automatic gearbox. it is expected to be the same 4-speed unit that is available in the older Ertiga. The automatic gearbox will be mated to the new 1.5-litre petrol engine that makes 104PS and 138Nm, 12PS and 8Nm more than the 1.4-litre engine powering the current-gen Ertiga in India.

The 2018 Ertiga has already been spied with a 6-speed manual transmission. Read more about it here.

The 1.5-litre petrol engine is also expected to power the upcoming Ciaz facelift. However, in the Ciaz, the new engine is likely to be coupled to a mild hybrid system (SHVS) for better fuel economy. It isn’t clear whether the Indian Ertiga would feature SHVS upon launch. Related: 2018 Maruti Ciaz Interiors Spied; Will Get Cruise Control

Other features that are expected to be part of the upcoming MPV’s feature list include dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, Isofix child seat anchors, reverse parking camera with sensors, automatic projector headlamps with LED DRLs, 16-inch alloys, rain sensing wipers, roof-mounted rear AC vents and 60:40 split second-row seats & 50:50 split third-row seats.

Maruti Suzuki has been tight lipped about the 2018 Ertiga’s India launch. However, we expect it to happen by October 2018, a few months after the 2018 Ciaz, which is likely to go on sale by August 2018. Related: Upcoming Maruti Car Launches In 2018 - New Wagon R, Ertiga & Ciaz
