ENGINE

Along with many other things the new Ertiga also gets a brand new Petrol engine. The 103 bhp and 138 Nm petrol engine proved itself in the Ciaz and the story is no different here. Despite the added weight it is able to carry the load of 7 passengers pretty well. There’s also the 4-speed automatic on offer and it does its chores pretty well at least in the urban environment where its job will be to tackle a lot of traffic. The famed 89 bhp 200 Nm 1.3 litre diesel engine continues to do its duty on the Ertiga just the way it does on many other cars from the brand, but what impresses you here that is easily carries the weight of the car and the NVH levels are also kept in check. Maruti is also claiming excellent fuel efficiency on the car with the petrol offering 18 kmpl and diesel a whopping 25 kmpl. However at least for the time being there is no CNG option on offer as the company is not allowing commercial registrations of the car.
