To mark sales of 1,50,000 units of the Maruti Ertiga, the carmaker has launched the Ertiga Limited Edition.

On the outside, the Ertiga Limited Edition features a rear spoiler, chrome grille and door handles and added body graphics and decals. The limited edition car will be available in a new Pearl Blaze Blue paint shade in addition to white and silver shades.

On the inside, the Maruti Ertiga Limited Edition gets wooden trim around the instrument panel and in the doors and limited edition floor mats as part of the cosmetic changes. As for features, this variant adds rear parking sensors and a better audio system but there's still no climate control. There are no mechanical changes and the limited edition car is powered by the same 89bhp 1.3-litre diesel engine and 94bhp 1.4-litre petrol motor.

The Maruti Ertiga Limited Edition comes at a time when the Honda Mobilio MPV is about to be launched and hints at the fact that it's a strategic move by the carmaker to counter its first real rival. We had seen a similar special edition launch of the Maruti Dzire Regal in April 2013, when the Honda Amaze had just hit showrooms.

The Maruti Eritga Limited Edition is available with three fuel options – petrol, CNG and diesel. The prices (ex-showroom, Delhi) are as follows
