It was in the Auto Expo 2012, that Maruti Suzuki has disappointed us by just unveiling the MPV Maruti Ertiga and announcing that it will be launched in April, which was otherwise sure of its launch. Earlier, it was known that the car will be in the showrooms by the end of April but it was not confirmed whether the new model will be exported to the other markets or not. It is not much of surprise that this product will be exported to Indonesia at present, which is the second market after India. The cause of choosing Indonesia is that the MPVs are popular there like the small cars in India. So keeping in mind the sales point of view, the market of Indonesia is extremely potent and has enough absorptive capacity for such models.
Only a petrol version will be launched in the new market. The other two MPVs that are popular in Indonesia are Daihatsu Xenia and Toyota Avanza. So in order to capture the market and popularity, the Ertiga has to prove itself. However, the plus point is that this new model is associated with some extra features in the interiors. So far as the overall look of the car is concerned, it is compact and has much better fit and finish as compared to earlier Maruti models. It is expected that all these features will help the new model to capture the sales market both in India and abroad. It is assumed that with all new features this model will break all earlier records and will be a best seller both in India and abroad. We hope that it will rock the market and will come out successfully satisfying its customers here in India and outside.
