Maruti Suzuki has launched the Ertiga Facelift at 5.99 Lakhs in India. Ertiga Facelift also comes with an AT in Petrol variant. The Diesel Variant of Ertiga Facelift now comes with SHVS Technology i.e 'Smart Hybrid Vehicle from Suzuki'.
Maruti Suzuki's Ertiga was for the 1st time launched in 2012 to cater to the MPV segment in India. Being a car of one of the oldest and trusted brands in India, Ertiga tasted instant success by being a preferred choice of the buyers here. Ever since the launch, Maruti Suzuki as true to it's self has been providing Ertiga with cosmetic changes and rolling out limited additions like Feliz, Anniversary, Passio et al. All these versions of Ertiga had one thing in common and i.e added stickers and some minor aesthetic upgrades.
Coming to 2015, Maruti Suzuki rolled out it's first "Smart Hybrid" Vehicle i.e CIAZ Hybrid which boasted of being much more eco-friendly and FE wise also better than normal Diesel CIAZ. After tasting luke warm receiving to the CIAZ SHVS, Maruti tried out this technology on their ERTIGA MPV. Ertiga firstly in the name of facelift was given redesigned bumpers and a big chrome front grill and a rear chrome mustache. In the interiors, it came with smartplay touchscreen infotainment panel in top variant and push button start along with tweaks done to the IC Panel too.
Today, I am writing my review of the Ertiga SHVS diesel. The Variant driven by me is the ZDi+ which comes equipped with SHVS. Please be informed, at present Maruti Suzuki is providing the SHVS Technology to only Diesel Ertiga. So let us now see, if the SHVS enabled Ertiga does have something better to offer or is it just another way to further increase sales and avoid inventory of Diesel Ertiga in stockyards.
Now Before I start the review please allow me to add some important links here:
1) Brochure
2) Spy Shots
3) First Impression on Facelift Ertiga
