Refined Design for Modern Families
The 2025 Maruti Ertiga redefines the 7-seater MPV segment with its blend of sophisticated styling, enhanced comfort, and impressive fuel efficiency. Priced from ₹8.96 lakh to ₹13.26 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), it features a refreshed exterior with a bold chrome grille, sleek LED headlamps, and L-shaped LED taillights, giving it a contemporary edge. Available in seven vibrant colors—Pearl Metallic Auburn Red, Dignity Brown, Metallic Magma Grey, Pearl Metallic Oxford Blue, Pearl Arctic White, Splendid Silver, and Bluish Black—it appeals to style-conscious families. Its compact dimensions (4395 mm long, 1735 mm wide, 1690 mm high) ensure easy urban maneuverability, rivaling the practicality of the Hero Super Splendor XTEC for city use.
Luxurious and Spacious Interior
Inside, the Ertiga 2025 offers a premium dual-tone cabin with teakwood-like dashboard accents and soft-touch armrests, elevating comfort over budget commuters like the TVS XL100. The 2-3-2 seating layout accommodates seven passengers, with ample legroom in the second row and usable third-row space for kids or shorter adults. Higher trims feature leatherette upholstery, a 9-inch SmartPlay Pro touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, automatic climate control, rear AC vents, and wireless charging. Storage abounds, with 1-liter bottle holders, cupholders, and a 209-liter boot expandable to a flatbed by folding the third row, making it ideal for family trips or airport runs.
Exceptional Fuel Efficiency
The Ertiga 2025 is powered by a 1.5L K15C mild-hybrid petrol engine, producing 101.64 bhp and 136.8 Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. Its CNG variant, available in VXi and ZXi trims, claims an ARAI-rated mileage of 26.11 km/kg, while petrol models achieve 20.3–20.51 kmpl. Real-world tests suggest 16–17 kmpl in cities and 20–22 kmpl on highways, falling short of the claimed 30 kmpl but still competitive with the TVS iQube’s efficiency. The CNG option, with lower running costs, makes it a budget-friendly choice for fleet operators and families, offering savings akin to the Mahindra Alfa Electric.
Advanced Features and Safety
The Ertiga 2025 enhances its tech appeal with connected car technology, cruise control, paddle shifters (automatic variants), and steering-mounted controls. Safety is prioritized with standard dual airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, and ISOFIX mounts, while higher trims add four airbags, a 360-degree camera, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Hill-Hold Assist, and Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Though it lacks a sunroof and Type-C ports, its feature set outshines basic commuters like the Piaggio Ape E-City. The suspension, tuned for Indian roads, ensures a smooth ride when loaded, though solo drives may feel slightly bumpy.
Value and Market Position
Starting at ₹8.96 lakh (ex-showroom), with on-road prices in Delhi from ₹9.85 lakh to ₹15.63 lakh, the Ertiga 2025 offers unmatched value in the MPV segment, undercutting rivals like the Kia Carens (₹10.59 lakh) and Toyota Rumion. Its four trims—LXi, VXi, ZXi, and ZXi+—cater to varied budgets, with the ZXi+ boasting premium features. Despite a 3-star Global NCAP rating from 2019, its safety upgrades and over 1 million units sold cement its popularity. Available at Maruti Suzuki Arena showrooms or marutisuzuki.com, the Ertiga 2025 is a luxurious, fuel-efficient family MPV that rivals the comfort of pricier options like the Harley-Davidson Pan America, making it a top choice for 2025.
