2018 Suzuki Ertiga (2018 Maruti Ertiga) spotted in Thailand during promo shoot

The 2018 Suzuki Ertiga (2018 Maruti Ertiga) will likely go official in Thailand soon. Headlightmag forum member Nike has posted images of the all-new Suzuki Ertiga snapped during its promo shoot in the country.

The 2018 Suzuki Ertiga, dare we say classier, and larger than its predecessor and is underpinned by the all-new Heartect platform. The new generation is 4,395 mm long, 1,735 mm wide and 1,690 mm high. It has a 2,740 wheelbase and a 180 mm ground clearance. It offers 153 litres of luggage space behind the three rows of seats, expandable to 550 litres on folding the third-row seatback folded and further to a maximum 803 litres.

At the heart of the all-new Suzuki Ertiga, is the newly-developed K15B 1.5-litre VVT petrol engine that produces 104.7 PS at 6,000 rpm and 138 Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm. It is coupled to a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission. Projector headlamps, LED rear combination lamps, KESSY, 6.8-inch touchscreen entertainment system, ventilated cupholders, wood trim and dual-tone upholstery are some of the talking points of the 7-seat MPV.

In terms of safety, Suzuki equips the Mitsubishi Xpander rival with reverse parking sensors, dual-front airbags, ABS with EBD, ISOFIX child-seat mounts and ESP. Thailand will source the all-new Suzuki Ertiga from the Cikarang Plant (Indonesia). Exports are said to commence in September.

The all-new Maruti Ertiga is tipped to reach showrooms close to Diwali (November). The redesigned model will likely come at a premium over the outgoing model (INR 6.34 lakh* onwards) and Maruti Suzuki will sell it exclusively through NEXA outlets.
