Maruti
Ertiga has received the all-new, indigenously developed E15A diesel engine.
Prices of the Maruti Ertiga 1.5L diesel start at INR 9.86 lakh*. The E15A 1.5-litre DDIS 225 diesel engine produces 95 PS at 4,000 rpm and 225 Nm of torque at 1,500-2,500 rpm. This
BS-IV engine is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, available in the
Maruti Ertiga for the first time now. It delivers a fuel economy of 24.20 km/l.
The Fiat-developed D13A 1.3-litre diesel engine featuring the old
single-battery Proven Smart Hybrid mild-hybrid system is still available. Owing
to cost concerns, none of these engines will be upgraded to BS-VI, and so, they
will be discontinued by March 2020.
Maruti Suzuki says that it has used 'pendulum type
engine mountings' to reduce NVH levels on the new engine, and also that the use
of ‘Dual Mass flywheel’ has contributed to reduced engine fluctuations,
resulting in smoother power delivery and reduced vibrations.
The second generation Maruti Ertiga is available
with the K15B 1.5-litre petrol engine featuring the new dual-battery
Progressive Smart Hybrid System also. This engine, paired with a standard
5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission, will be
upgraded to conform to BS-VI emission norms.
