Over 7000 Units Of New Maruti Ertiga Sold In December 2018
The new Maruti Suzuki Ertiga is receiving bookings with an average of 1,000 orders per day.
The new-generation Maruti Suzuki Ertiga has crossed the 7,000 sales mark in the very first month of its arrival in the market. In December 2018, the Indo-Japanese carmaker managed to retail a total of 7,155 units of the MPV as opposed to 4,288 units of December 2017, accounting 67% growth. With an average of 1,000 orders per day, the new Maruti Ertiga received 23,000 bookings in just 5 weeks of its launch. Its arch rival – Mahindra Marazzo registered total sales of 3,206 units.
Compared to the old model, the new Maruti Ertiga looks more evolved and refreshing. While you do get projector headlamps as standard, it loses out on the LED DRLs (daytime running lights). The top-spec trim gets 15-inch alloy wheels, and the lower variants VXI and LXI trims come with 15-inch steel wheels with wheel caps. The MPV also gets boomerang shaped LED taillamps.

It also gets wooden inserts on the dashboard and steering wheel, roof mounted AC vents for the third row, dual airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, central locking and speed sensitive door locks as standard.
