Maruti Suzuki has quietly rolled out a fresh round of updates to the Ertiga MPV, introducing new features aimed at improving comfort and practicality. Without any formal announcement or media buzz, these revisions have quietly made their way into the official brochure and are already visible on customer vehicles.
The changes might seem subtle at first glance, but they significantly enhance the in-cabin experience for all passengers, especially those seated in the second and third rows.
Spoiler
One of the first noticeable changes is the redesigned rear roof spoiler. The new unit has a more pronounced shape, with black inserts on both outer curves, giving it a sportier and more premium appearance. What’s more, this spoiler is now standard across all variants of the Ertiga.
Though this updated spoiler had been spotted on delivered vehicles for a while, Maruti has only just added it to the official spec sheet. It’s a small design tweak, but it adds a nice visual upgrade to the MPV’s rear profile.
Vents
Maruti has also made a practical adjustment to the AC system. The second-row air vents have been moved from the roof to a new position behind the centre console. This change could improve airflow distribution and make cooling more efficient for middle-row passengers.
The third row also benefits from this update. It now gets a dedicated AC vent placed on the right-hand side, complete with blower speed control. This is a thoughtful touch, especially in hot Indian weather, where third-row passengers often feel left out in terms of cooling.
Charging
Another handy addition is the inclusion of Type-C USB charging ports. Passengers in both the second and third rows now get two Type-C ports each, making it easier to charge modern smartphones and devices on the go.
This small but significant upgrade addresses a common pain point for families travelling with multiple devices. Whether it’s kids on tablets or adults on smartphones, everyone gets better charging access now.
Engine
Despite these interior and cosmetic tweaks, the Ertiga remains mechanically unchanged. It continues with the same 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, producing 102bhp and 136.8Nm of torque. Buyers can choose between a five-speed manual or a six-speed torque converter automatic transmission.
There’s also the CNG version on offer, which delivers 87bhp and 121.5Nm when running on gas, paired with the manual gearbox. The dual-fuel option remains popular among buyers looking for lower running costs.
Update
Interestingly, Maruti Suzuki has chosen not to promote these changes through an official press release or media campaign. Instead, the company has quietly updated the brochure and made the revisions part of ongoing production. It’s a soft update strategy that lets the car evolve without much noise, while still keeping it fresh for new buyers.
