New Maruti Ertiga To Get A More Powerful 1.5L Diesel Engine
The exact power and torque figures of the new 1.5L diesel engine are still unknown to us.
The Indo-Japanese carmaker introduced the second-generation Maruti Suzuki Ertiga with significant cosmetic, feature and mechanical changes. The MPV’s new model receives a new 104bbhp, 1.5L K15B petrol engine boosted with SHVS mild hybrid technology instead of old 1.4L petrol motor. However, the tried-and-tested 1.3L Multijet SHVS diesel engine continued to power the vehicle.
