2025 Maruti Suzuki Ertiga VXi – More Practical, More Premium, More Smart
When it comes to a reliable, economical and practical car for a large family in India, the first name that comes to mind is Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. Now Maruti Suzuki has launched a new avatar of this popular MPV (multi-purpose vehicle)—the Ertiga VXi 2025—which not only looks more stylish than before but now also has more advanced features and better safety equipment. This car is specially designed for Indian families who want a reliable vehicle for their everyday use as well as comfortable long trips during holidays.
A new look that wins hearts
Some subtle but impressive changes have been made to the exterior design of the Ertiga VXi 2025, which give it a mature and premium look. The front grille has now been redesigned, which includes chrome accents, which make this car different from other MPVs at first glance. Apart from this, dual-tone alloy-style wheel covers, restyled headlights and a thin front bumper give it an urban and stylish appeal. The detailing work inside the headlights, especially the LED DRLs (if any), makes the car stand out even during the day.
Talking about the rear profile, the Ertiga has retained its traditional family-friendly design. Body-color bumpers and integrated reflectors give it a balanced and clean look. Although there are no major changes, the new paint finish and rear cladding definitely give it a refreshing feel. Overall, this design will give a familiar feel to old customers and has the potential to attract new customers.
Spacious 7-seater cabin equipped with smart technology
The first thing that catches the attention as soon as you enter the interior of the car is its new dual-tone upholstery and silver-accented dashboard. The cabin of the Ertiga VXi 2025 feels very spacious and comfortable, with full seating for seven people. The second and third row seats can be folded, providing ample space for luggage. This is especially suitable for families who often have to travel long distances with children or the elderly.
The model comes with a 7-inch SmartPlay touchscreen infotainment system that supports both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Apart from this, it also comes with convenient features like power-adjustable ORVMs (outdoor mirrors), rear AC vents, multiple USB charging ports, and steering-mounted controls. All these features make it a smart and user-friendly vehicle that keeps pace with modern technology.
A powerful engine promises better mileage.
As far as the engine is concerned, the Ertiga VXi 2025 is powered by Maruti’s trusted 1.5-liter DualJet K-Series petrol engine that produces around 103 PS of power and around 137 Nm of torque. This engine comes mated to a 5-speed manual transmission, which is suitable for both city traffic and highway drives. Its biggest feature is its refined performance and smooth driving experience.
Talking about mileage, the petrol version gives an average of around 20.5 kmpl, which is considered quite economical in this segment. Along with this, Maruti has also introduced a factory-fitted CNG variant in this model, which gives a tremendous mileage of around 26 km/kg in CNG mode. This is especially for those customers who want to be responsible towards the environment with low fuel costs.
Passenger safety is now stronger.
Maruti Suzuki has left no stone unturned this time in terms of safety. The Ertiga VXi 2025 now comes with more structural reinforcements, which has improved crash safety. It includes standard safety features like dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, a high-speed alert system, and seatbelt reminders for all seats.
Keeping the safety of children in mind, it also gets ISOFIX child seat mounts, which give parents peace of mind on any long journey. These features are important not only from the safety point of view but also to meet the safety norms set by the government.
Price and Variants—Performance on a Budget
Launched in 2025, the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga VXi has a starting ex-showroom price of around ₹ 9.3 lakh, which goes up to ₹ 10.1 lakh for the CNG version. In this price range, this 7-seater MPV becomes a very affordable and value-for-money option in India. Compared to its rivals like the Renault Triber or the Kia Carens, the Ertiga’s low maintenance, strong resale value and vast service network give it a leg up.
