Maruti Ertiga Gets Boost In Safety With New Features Offered As Standard

• All Ertiga variants get Stability control (ESP) and hill-hold assist.  

• Top-spec Ertiga comes with four airbags, brake assist and a rear parking camera to boot. 

• Powered by a 1.5-litre K15C engine with manual and automatic options. 

• Prices start at Rs 8.35 lakh (ex-showroom). 

The Maruti Ertiga has received a new update that brings more safety features to the standard equipment list. All variants now get electronic stability programme (ESP) and hill-hold assist in addition to government-mandated safety features. 

Maruti Ertiga Safety Features 

Maruti’s people mover offers up to four airbags and brake assist in higher-spec variants. The standard kit includes dual airbags, ABS, rear parking sensors, ISOFIX child seat anchors and the aforementioned ESP and hill hold assist. 

Earlier in 2019, Global NCAP had awarded a three-star rating to the Ertiga for adult and child occupant safety. Back then, the MPV’s body shell and footwell had been rated ‘unstable’ in the tests. The current Ertiga does offer more standard safety kit, but it has similar underpinnings as its predecessor.   

Ertiga powertrains 

The Ertiga is powered by a 103PS 1.5-litre K15C petrol engine paired with a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic gearbox. A CNG variant is also available with an 88PS K15C DualJet powertrain.
