Maruti Ertiga Diesel LDi Updates

Sunday, 15 March 2020 08:42 PM The Maruti Ertigas diesel variants, including the LDi, were discontinued in March 2020 due to the implementation of Bharat Stage 6 emission norms. This move marked the end of diesel engine options for the Ertiga in India. I believe this was a necessary step to comply with environmental regulations, but it might have disappointed some diesel loyalists.

Thursday, 15 August 2019 07:49 AM In August 2019, Maruti Suzuki discontinued the 1.3-litre turbocharged diesel engine for the Ertiga, which was a significant change in the models lineup. This decision was part of the companys strategy to adapt to changing market and regulatory conditions. I think this move was a precursor to the eventual phase-out of diesel engines in their models.

Saturday, 20 April 2019 04:39 PM The Maruti Ertiga LDi, with its 1.3-litre diesel engine, was known for its fuel efficiency and was a popular choice among those looking for a diesel MPV. However, with the introduction of the BS6 norms, the demand for diesel vehicles began to decline, leading to the eventual discontinuation of this variant. I believe the shift towards petrol and CNG options was a wise move given the market trends.

Wednesday, 10 April 2019 06:59 AM In April 2019, Maruti Suzuki introduced the 1.5-litre turbocharged diesel engine for the Ertiga, available in the VDi, ZDi, and ZDi+ trim levels. This engine was paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and was seen as a more powerful alternative to the 1.3-litre diesel. However, this engine was short-lived due to the upcoming BS6 norms. I think this was an attempt to keep the diesel option relevant before the eventual phase-out.

Wednesday, 21 November 2018 04:42 PM The Maruti Ertiga LDi was part of the initial lineup when the second generation of the Ertiga was launched in India on November 21, 2018. This variant was priced competitively and offered features like engine immobilizer, child safety lock, and power door locks. I believe the LDi was a good entry-level option for those seeking a reliable and affordable MPV.
