Borrowing design cues from the new Suzuki Swift (Maruti Swift), RBA design studio has created a rendering of the next
generation Maruti Ertiga – the MPV derivative of the Swift hatchback.
The Maruti Ertiga looks more dynamic and contemporary than the current model,
which received a facelift last year. The next gen Ertiga will be based on the
Swift’s lightweight platform, and could weigh under 1,180 kg.
So far, there has been no talk about a next
generation Maruti Ertiga since ET Auto’s report on the model from September
2015. To summarise, the next gen Ertiga is reported to be codenamed ‘YHA’, will
get a Maruti-developed 1.5L diesel engine, and launch in the festive season of
2017. However, the report was posted more than a year ago, and there haven’t
been new reports to affirm the claim.
