Maruti Suzuki, India's largest carmaker, is all set to give a major makeover to its popular MPV - Ertiga. The second generation of the MPV has been revealed earlier this year at Malaysia and India-spec model will be launched on November 21.

In its latest avatar, the Ertiga gets a massive redesign while the basic MPV silhouette remains unchanged. Chrome bathed new front grille and new projector headlamps have an integrated stance which extends the premium feel.

The redesigned front bumper with black inserts adds a sporty touch as well. Sculpted side and rear profiles with crease lines have been done tastefully. At the rear, the new D-pillar and L-shape tail lamps take away the usual blandness of the MPVs in the new Ertiga.

The new Ertiga will be offered in petrol and diesel engine options, both with SHVS mild-hybrid technology. The MPV will get new 1.5-litre petrol engine in place the older 1.4-litre motor. The mill is expected to develop 103bhp of peak power and 138 Nm of peak and transmission options will be 4-speed torque converter automatic gearbox apart from the standard 5-speed manual option.

The diesel mill will be the same 1.3-litre motor that makes 89bhp of peak power and 200 Nm of peak torque. It will be offered only with a manual gearbox. The inclusion of SHVS mild-hybrid should make the new Ertiga more fuel efficient.
