The new Maruti Suzuki Ertiga gets an all new design language that makes it a much much better looking car as compared to the previous gen model. The new Ertiga now gets headlamps with projector lens along with a set of boomerang shaped LED tail lamps that look very Volvo inspired. The new Ertiga continues to get 15-inch alloy wheels on the top spec models while 15-inch steel wheels with or without wheelcaps will continue on the lower VXI and LXI trims respectively. The new car also gets a new greenhouse design, which seems inspired by the larger and more premium Toyota Innova Crysta and seems to work really well.
