The 2025 Maruti Ertiga has arrived, and it’s not just a facelift, it’s a full-blown evolution of India’s most beloved MPV. With enhanced safety, smarter tech, and a more commanding road presence, the new Ertiga is poised to dominate the family car segment once again. Whether you’re a city commuter, a road tripper, or a cab fleet owner, the 2025 Ertiga offers something for everyone.
Design & Exterior Updates
Maruti Suzuki has stretched the Ertiga’s dimensions by 40 mm, now measuring 4435 mm in length. The extended roof-mounted rear spoiler and refreshed tail lamps give it a sportier stance. Chrome inserts on the tailgate and dynamic winged front grille add a premium touch. Available in Pearl Arctic White, Magma Grey, and Auburn Red, the Ertiga now looks more upscale than ever.
Interior Comfort & Cabin Features
Inside, the Ertiga continues to impress with dual-tone upholstery, sculpted dashboard with metallic teak-wood finish, and flexible seating for seven. The second-row AC vents have been repositioned for better airflow, and third-row passengers now enjoy side-mounted vents with adjustable fan speed. Type-C USB ports are available in both rear rows, and a PM 2.5 air filter ensures cleaner cabin air.
Infotainment & Connectivity
The top variants feature a 9-inch SmartPlay Pro touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Suzuki Connect brings remote access, geofencing, and emergency alerts. Arkamys premium sound system and TFT MID cluster elevate the driving experience.
Safety First
Maruti has made a bold move by offering 6 airbags as standard across all variants. Additional safety features include:
- Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
- Hill Hold Assist
- ABS with EBD and Brake Assist
- Rear parking sensors and camera
- TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)
- ISOFIX child seat anchors
The Ertiga retains its 3-star GNCAP rating, but the structural upgrades and added airbags make it a significantly safer choice than its predecessor.
Engine & Performance
Under the hood, the Ertiga continues with the 1.5L K15C DualJet petrol engine producing 103 PS and 136.8 Nm of torque. Transmission options include a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters. The CNG variant delivers 88 PS and 121.5 Nm, with a claimed mileage of 26.11 km/kg.
Real-world performance is smooth and composed, ideal for city driving and long-distance cruising. The hybrid tech offers idle start-stop and torque assist, improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions.
