Welcome to the LIVE blog of the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga 2018 launch

This will be the second generation of the Ertiga SUV launched back in 2012 and we expect new interiors along with major changes in the exterior of the car. Initial leaks and teasers have revealed quite a lot about the car and the only thing not known currently happens to be the pricing of the car.

The 2018 Maruti Suzuki Ertiga is set to be launched today in India and we can expect a bunch of new features and updates to come in this second-generation of the car. While most of the details are already out or leaked, we are eagerly anticipating the price at which this car is expected to launch.

On the outside Ertiga is said to feature the new double-barrel trapezoidal projector headlamps, along with a slightly larger grille which has heavy chrome detailing. The major change on the outside is the third-row glass area which is now larger and has a blacked-out panel. The rear windscreen also looks more raked than before and sits on top of a new tailgate design as well.
