India’s largest carmaker, Maruti Suzuki, has announced the launch of the BS6-compliant Ertiga. Priced from Rs 7.55 lakh for the base LXi trim and going up to Rs 10.50 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) for the ZXi automatic, the MPV becomes the fifth Maruti Suzuki model, after the Alto, Swift, Baleno and Wagon R, to meet BS6 emissions norms ahead of the April 1, 2020 deadline.
The BS6-compliant Ertiga will be available with a solitary 1.5-litre petrol engine, which is good for 105hp and 138Nm of torque. In terms of transmissions, a 5-speed manual is standard fitment, while a 4-speed torque convertor automatic is also available. The MPV’s petrol engine also comes with Maruti’s SHVS hybrid technology, which is claimed to aid fuel efficiency.
The cost of upgrades to meet the stringent norms has resulted in prices being hiked by Rs 10,000 at the lower end while top-spec variants now cost around Rs 55,000 more. The Ertiga remains a popular buy and is a regular in the top 5 best selling UVs in the country. In June 2019, it ranked fourth with a total of 7,567 units being sold.
On July 27, Maruti Suzuki launched the CNG-powered Ertiga at Rs 8.88 lakh. Maruti is also readying the launch of the Ertiga-based XL6 6-seater on August 21, 2019, which will be sold via the carmaker's premium Nexa dealer chain.
