Maruti Ertiga Diesel LDi (O) Updates
Latest Updates

Maruti Suzuki has confirmed that the new generation of the Ertiga will not include a diesel automatic variant. The diesel engine will only be available with a 5-speed manual transmission, while the petrol version will get a conventional 4-speed automatic gearbox. This decision aligns with the companys focus on petrol and CNG options. I think this is a practical move given the current market trends and consumer preferences.

The 1.3-litre Fiat-sourced diesel engine, which powered the Ertiga LDi, has been phased out due to the implementation of BS6 emission norms. It has been replaced by a new 1.5-litre DDiS 225 diesel engine developed in-house by Suzuki. This new engine offers better performance and efficiency. I believe this upgrade enhances the overall driving experience and aligns with environmental regulations.

Maruti Suzuki had stopped taking bookings for the Ertiga LDi variant starting March 2019, as part of their plan to discontinue this base diesel model. Existing inventories of the LDi and LXi variants were liquidated by dealerships. This move also meant that the petrol Ertiga could now be offered with an automatic transmission across all variants. I think this was a strategic decision to streamline their product lineup and focus on more popular variants.

The discontinuation of the Ertiga LDi variant was surprising, especially since the new 1.5-litre diesel engine was not planned for the base L variant. The 1.3-litre diesel engine, which made 90PS of power and 200Nm of torque, was mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. I believe the decision to discontinue this variant was likely driven by market demand and the need to introduce more efficient engines.

The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga LDi variant, which was once the base diesel model, has been discontinued since April 2019. This decision was made as part of Maruti Suzukis strategy to phase out smaller diesel engines in favor of larger, more efficient ones. The VDi variant took over as the most affordable diesel option, priced at Rs. 9.56 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). I believe this move was necessary to comply with changing emission norms and to offer better performance.
