 2018 Suzuki Ertiga unveiled

 

Although the Suzuki Ertiga has been an important car for Maruti Suzuki since its launch in 2012, it has failed to gather enough excitement in the Nepalese market. However, the 2018 model of the seven seater MPV looks certainly better than its predecessor. The new Ertiga looks more upmarket and pre­mium and it is underpinned by the Suzuki’s new Heartect platform featured in the new Baleno and Swift hatchbacks. The 2018 model gets a host of features including 15-inch alloy wheels, touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, tilt adjustable steering with wooden ornament (GX), and new instrument console design. It also gets a start stop button; reverse parking sensors and camera, key less entry and ven­tilated (or cooled) bottle/cup holders. Safety features on the new Ertiga includes high rigid under body, Dual SRS Airbags, Electronic Stability Programme, ABS, Electronic Brake-Force Distribution and ISOFIX seats
