Maruti Suzuki, India's largest car manufacturer, has introduced the new 1.5-litre diesel engine in its MPV offering, the Ertiga. This all-new four-cylinder 1.5-litre diesel engine has been developed at the company's in-house facility. The diesel variants of the 2019 Maruti Suzuki Ertiga at priced at Rs 9.86 lakh for the VDI trim whereas the top-spec ZDI+ will be available at Rs 11.20 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi. Maruti Suzuki's Arena dealerships have already started accepting bookings for the Ertiga 1.5L diesel and the deliveries across the country are expected to commence shortly.
The 2019 Maruti Suzuki Ertiga will continue to be offered with a 1.5l petrol that makes 105PS of power at 6,000rpm and generates 138Nm at 4,400rpm. This engine is offered with a choice between a manual and an automatic transmission. Previously, the Ertiga diesel was powered by a 90PS 1.3l unit, which continues to be listed on the official website.

Maruti Suzuki claims that this engine offers an efficiency of 24.20 kmpl, making it lesser than the 1.3l's 25.47kmpl. Last month, Maruti Suzuki had launched the same engine in identical state of tune in the Ciaz.
