Is there any news about the launch of a new Ertiga model in 2026? When is it expected to be launched?

A new Maruti Suzuki Ertiga is unlikely to be launched this year, but the next-gen model, which is likely to come with a hybrid option, isn’t due before 2028. It is likely, though, that Maruti Suzuki could give the existing Ertiga a few minor tweaks to keep it fresh until the new model arrives.

I have been using Maruti cars for more than 30 years and have been using the Ertiga Hybrid for the last 6.5 years. I now need to change from the Ertiga to a good 7-seater car, preferably not the Kia Carens, etc., and around the same budget as the Ertiga. The average should also be similar. Let me know your feedback. Thanks.

Since you've been a Maruti loyalist and don't want to consider the excellent Kia Carens Clavis at all, the only options you have are to either get another Maruti Suzuki Ertiga or opt for the Maruti XL6, which is essentially a 6-seater Ertiga with black interiors, some added features and a body cladding to visually give it a rugged look. Unfortunately, there are no other car-like, spacious 7-seaters in the market that price point.

Hello, I want to convert my BMW X1 petrol model (2011) into an electric vehicle. Please suggest the best EV conversion kit and a reliable company that can carry out the installation. Thanks.

Converting a petrol car to an electric one is a complex process that requires a lot of engineering and expertise, and it will be very expensive to do so. It is not as simple as just swapping out the engine for an electric motor.The process involves removing the engine, fuel tank, exhaust system, and other components and replacing them with an electric motor, batteries, and other components. Even after all this, the car's wiring, suspension, and other systems need to be modified to work with and accommodate the new powertrain.Basically its as good as re-engineering the entire car, and frankly, no one can do this reliably at this point. Thus, we would not recommend a conversion, especially so on a car that is complex and advanced like the BMW X1. Plus, there is also the legality of the car to consider, as the registration details would not match. You should trade in your X1 for the new iX1, as BMW will certainly have some exchange offers to make.
