Maruti Suzuki is all-set to showcase it first compact MPV, the Ertiga, at the 2012 Auto Expo in New Delhi. However, Autocar India had first unveiled this all-new model back in June 2011, and we also broke the name ‘Ertiga’ in September 2011.

The all-new Ertiga, which is based on the Ritz platform, will be Maruti’s first crack at the MPV segment. It carries the family look with the front resembling the Ritz hatchback while the peeled-back headlights that stretch to the pronounced wheel arches are reminiscent of the new Swift. The front bumper styling is quite sporty with a large air inlet and enclosures for the fog lights. Tail styling looks rather generic though.
