ABOUT:
The Maruti Ertiga or Suzuki Ertiga, basically meaning Swift with three rows in Indonesian, is a seven seater compact MPV developed by Japanese automaker Suzuki and its Indian affiliate Maruti Suzuki.It was launched on 12 April 2012 in India and on 22 April 2012 in Indonesia. Maruti Suzuki proclaims it to be the first LUV (Life Utility Vehicle). It competes with the Toyota Innova, Mahindra Xylo, Tata Sumo Grande, Toyota Avanza and Nissan Grand Livina. This car is powered by K-series 1.4 liter petrol engine. A diesel version of this car is powered by Fiat's 1.3 liter Multi jet engine. The car is based on extended Suzuki Swift platform. This means that the Ertiga is a monocoque MPV; a first in India. It is also considered to be a cross between a saloon/hatchback and an MPV. It has beaten long-reigning Toyota Innova.
The Ertiga is said to be the production version of the R-III (R3) concept showcased by MSIL at the Indian Automobile Exposition 2010. Moreover the name Ertiga is said be an adaptation of R-Tiga where "Tiga" means "three" in Indonesian. The "R" stands for Rows. Therefore "Ertiga" is derived from "R3" which in turn means "(Swift with) Three Rows".
Critics from various automobile magazines evaluated this car, and compared it with other MPV's.
In the 16th Indonesia International Motor Show, three new concepts in the Ertiga's form are introduced, the Sports, Luxury and Crossover version, which are actually Ertigas heavily modified into concept cars. The normal version, in this case the GX, also appeared.
After the burning of the Maruti Suzuki Plant in India, plans are being made to transfer the building plant to Indonesia, as most of the orders are from that country. The versions of that county's Ertiga is also different. It has 3 versions, the GA, GL, and the GX.
