The launch of Kia Carens has caused some ripples in the MPV segment. This segment was previously dominated by Maruti Ertiga and XL6. As the Carens now enter this segment, Maruti will have to update the Ertiga to maintain its position as a segment leader. In this article, we will discuss five updates that we expect on 2022 Maruti Ertiga after the launch of Kia Carens.

Electric Sunroof

2022 Maruti Ertiga

We have already seen spy shots of the new Vitara Brezza with a sunroof. Maruti could also offer a sunroof in the top-end variant of the 2022 Ertiga facelift. This will be a normal single pane electric sunroof and not a panoramic sunroof as seen in bigger cars like the Mahindra XUV700. The Kia Carens offers a skylight sunroof in its top-end Luxury Plus variant. 

Wireless Charging

Wireless charging is a trending feature and to stay updated with the competition, Maruti could offer this feature in the 2022 Maruti Ertiga facelift. The Kia Carens offers a wireless charger with cooling function in its top-end Luxury Plus variant.

New Interiors 

2022 Maruti Ertiga

Currently, the Ertiga gets a single-tone beige interior which gets dirty very easily. The new 2022 Maruti Ertiga is expected to get a Black and a dual-tone interior color scheme. This will make the car look more premium and upmarket feel.

Safety

Safety is now becoming a top priority for car buyers. Kia has sensed this and included six airbags as a standard safety feature across all variants of the Carens. Maruti currently offers dual airbags as standard across all variants. We expect Maruti to provide six airbags as a standard safety feature across all variants of the 2022 Ertiga.

Turbocharged Engine

The current generation of the Ertiga gets a 1.5-litre petrol engine that produces 103bhp and 138Nm of torque while the CNG variant produces 91bhp and 122Nm of torque. The top-end variant also gets a smart hybrid technology that improves fuel efficiency. The 2022 Ertiga is expected to get a performance-oriented turbocharged petrol engine that will be fine-tuned to deliver more power and torque.
