The Suzuki Ertiga GT comes with an aggressive body kit, black alloy wheels, red-decals, a new mesh grille and a 1.5-litre petrol engine under its hood.
Maruti Suzuki introduced the second generation iteration of the Ertiga MPV in India last year. Based on an all-new platform, the generation update for this sub 10 lakh MPV came with a completely new identity. With sharper exteriors and a feature loaded cabin, it is currently selling close to 8,000 units a month. The demand is such that the top-spec variants are currently commanding a waiting period of close to 6 months.
For Suzuki, the parent company of Maruti Suzuki India Limited, th e Ertiga is not an India specific model. The Japanese automaker sells this MPV in the Indonesian markets as well. And to woo customers in the Indonesian market and to tease the ones in the Indian market, Suzuki is soon going to introduce a special edition of the Ertiga on March 23. Named as the Ertiga GT, this sports iteration (aesthetically) of this budget MPV will so far remain exclusive to the Indonesian market.
