Maruti Suzuki has really raised the bar once again in the MPV segment with the latest Ertiga. Popular for family needs, it now boasts 26 kmpl mileage, one of the best mileage figures for an MPV in India. With a brand-new engine, new-age design, and latest technologies, the Ertiga still rules best-selling affordable multi-purpose vehicle market.
High Mileage Attractive to Budget Buyers
One of the best features of the new Maruti Ertiga is its high mileage. The CNG iteration returns 26.11 km/kg mileage, while fuel-wise, it returns close to 20.3 kmpl. Of late, price-wise, fuel price has become a big consideration in buyer decision-making. This high mileage, therefore, translates into huge savings in the long run and positions the Ertiga as a very cost-conscious option for that big family and the daily commuter.
Updated Looks That Are Practical Too
A very slight nip and tuck to the Ertiga by Maruti keeps the design fresh and modern. The front grille, now enhanced with an elegant chrome finish, and the new dual-tone alloys add to its road presence. The general design remains practical, having big windows, doors that open wide, and a relatively tall stance, all of which ease ingress and come with excellent road visibility for every passenger.
Spacious Interiors Meant for Families
Inside, the Ertiga has a huge cabin with three-row seating. It has ample room for seven passengers, making it perfect for family outings and group travel. The dashboard is clean and offers a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Other features include automatic climate control, rear AC vents, and a flat-folding third-row. This third row can be folded flat when you want some extra space for luggage.
Smooth Drive With Smart Hybrid Technology
The Ertiga is powered by the 1.5-litre K15C Smart Hybrid petrol engine. It churns out 103 bhp and is tuned for better fuel efficiency and smoothness. Buyers can opt for the 5-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic gearbox with paddle shifters, depending on their driving preferences. The hybrid technology aids in reducing emissions while enhancing fuel consumption.
Safety Features for Peace of Mind
Safety has been taken into account in the Ertiga with provisions like dual airbags, ABS with EBD, ISOFIX child seat mounts, rear parking sensors, and a high-speed alert system. The top-end variants further bring additional airbags, a rearview camera, electronic stability control, and hill-hold assist to improve safety on highway and hill drives.
What About the Price and Variants
The new Maruti Suzuki Ertiga is sold in four trims-LXi, VXi, ZXi and ZXi+. The price, ex-showroom, starts at ₹8.69 Lakh for the entry-level petrol variant and will be as high as ₹13.03 Lakh for the top automatic variant. The CNG versions are priced competitively and would be best suited for those seeking lower running costs.
A Value-for-Money Pick for Indian Families
The New Maruti Ertiga thus still dominates the MPV category with leading class mileage, spacious interiors, refined engines, and practical features. It fulfills the aspirations of Indian families wanting reliability, comfort, and economy without straining their wallets. The 2025 edition remains firmly implanted in the minds as an economical family car while being easy to maintain.
