Maruti’s compact MPV, the Ertiga, launched at the Auto Expo, is headed for its first export destination, Indonesia. The new seven-seater is powered by the new 1.4-litre K-series petrol and the 1.3-litre DDiS diesel engines.

These engines have built a reputation in India and so it was only fitting for Maruti Suzuki to look at exporting the Ertiga to the overseas markets. Maruti will only export the  petrol variant, which will join the other India-made Maruti exports which include Alto, A-Star and Ritz. Maruti exported 14,686 units in December 2011, 50 percent more than the 9,756 units sold in December 2010.
