Maruti Suzuki has once again proven why it dominates the Indian MPV segment. The all-new Ertiga 2025 comes packed with everything that today’s Indian family looks for—space, comfort, performance, fuel efficiency, and affordability. Whether you’re a daily city commuter or planning long road trips with your loved ones, this 7-seater MPV is designed to meet every need without breaking your budget. With an improved mileage of 24 kmpl, enhanced styling, and a tech-rich interior, the Ertiga 2025 is more than just a practical vehicle—it’s a smart lifestyle choice.
Stylish exterior with a family-friendly design
The 2025 Ertiga continues its legacy of clean, elegant design but now with a more premium appeal. The front grille has been refreshed with a chrome finish, and the new LED projector headlamps give it a more dynamic and upscale look. Side profile remains clean and functional, while the rear end gets redesigned taillamps that now stretch into the tailgate, giving the car a more SUV-like presence.
Despite being an MPV, Ertiga doesn’t look too bulky. It’s compact enough to handle city roads easily, yet spacious enough inside to seat seven passengers comfortably. The 15-inch alloy wheels add a touch of sophistication while maintaining the car’s fuel-efficient nature.
Premium interior with upgraded features
Inside, the Ertiga 2025 welcomes you with dual-tone upholstery and a new dashboard design that includes a soft-touch finish. The seats are well-cushioned and supportive, making long journeys comfortable for all passengers, especially for families with kids and elders.
Maruti has also added thoughtful features like rear AC vents for second and third rows, ample storage spaces, bottle holders on all doors, and a sliding armrest for the front seats. The boot space is expandable by folding the third-row seats, making it flexible for luggage on family trips.
Smart tech for a connected drive
The Ertiga 2025 is equipped with a 7-inch SmartPlay Pro infotainment system that supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It now includes connected car technology, allowing users to track the car, check vehicle status, and even control some features remotely via a smartphone app.
Also included are features like keyless entry, push-button start, steering-mounted controls, and a reverse parking camera. Higher variants offer automatic climate control, cruise control, and electrically foldable ORVMs for added convenience.
Fuel-efficient performance with 24kmpl mileage
One of the biggest highlights of the new Ertiga is its improved fuel economy. Maruti Suzuki has optimized its tried-and-tested 1.5L K15C Smart Hybrid petrol engine, delivering a claimed mileage of up to 24 kmpl (for the CNG variant) and around 20.5 kmpl for the petrol manual variant.
The Smart Hybrid system not only improves mileage but also reduces emissions, making the car greener and more cost-efficient in the long run. Whether you drive in the city or on the highway, Ertiga’s smooth acceleration, light steering, and balanced suspension make it a breeze to handle.
Available in petrol and CNG options
To offer more flexibility and economy to Indian consumers, the Ertiga 2025 is available in both petrol and CNG options. The CNG variant delivers excellent fuel economy while maintaining decent performance for daily use. This is especially beneficial for large families or users with high daily running requirements.
Transmission choices include a 5-speed manual gearbox and a newly improved 6-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters, adding a sporty and comfortable feel to the drive.
Safety features for peace of mind
Maruti Suzuki hasn’t compromised on safety. The new Ertiga comes with dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, ISO-FIX child seat mounts, and Electronic Stability Program (ESP) with Hill Hold Assist in the higher variants.
These features are now standard across most trims, ensuring all passengers are well-protected. The robust build and stable ride quality further add to the sense of safety, even at higher speeds.
Affordable pricing for Indian families
One of the strongest selling points of Ertiga 2025 is its value-for-money pricing. Starting around ₹8.69 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base variant and going up to ₹13.03 lakh for the top-end CNG automatic variant, the Ertiga remains one of the most affordable 7-seaters in India that doesn’t compromise on quality or features.
Maruti’s widespread service network and low maintenance costs make it even more economical in the long run, which is a key consideration for middle-class families.
Perfect for city and highway driving
The Ertiga 2025 isn’t just a family MPV—it’s also a city-friendly commuter. Its compact dimensions, light steering, and tight turning radius make it easy to maneuver in traffic and narrow streets. At the same time, its strong engine, comfortable suspension, and large cabin space make it great for long highway trips with full family on board.
Whether you’re driving to the office, dropping kids at school, or heading for a weekend getaway, Ertiga ensures a smooth and stress-free ride.
CNG variant – A money saver for daily use
The CNG variant of Ertiga deserves special mention. With a fuel efficiency of nearly 26 km/kg, this version is perfect for users with heavy daily commutes. Maruti has designed the CNG kit to fit neatly without eating into luggage space. The switch between petrol and CNG is seamless, and performance stays smooth even with the CNG system in use.
For those who drive a lot and want to cut down on running costs, the Ertiga CNG is a smart and reliable option.
Comparison with other MPVs in the segment
When compared with rivals like the Kia Carens, Renault Triber, or Mahindra Marazzo, the Ertiga holds its ground confidently. While Carens offers more features, it is priced significantly higher. Triber is cheaper but lacks performance and space. Marazzo is powerful but targets a more premium segment.
Ertiga strikes the perfect balance between price, features, mileage, and practicality, which is why it continues to dominate the MPV sales chart.
Final verdict
The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga 2025 is an ideal choice for Indian families who want a stylish, spacious, and fuel-efficient 7-seater without spending a fortune. With its refined engine, 24 kmpl mileage (in CNG), premium features, and family-friendly design, it’s clearly one of the most value-packed MPVs in the market today.
Whether you’re upgrading from a hatchback or switching from a sedan to accommodate a growing family, the Ertiga offers everything you need—and more—at a price you can afford.
