Festival-season Ertiga facelift brings style and comfort
Maruti Suzuki has refreshed its best-selling Ertiga MPV ahead of the festive season, adding style, comfort, and practical upgrades while keeping value at the core. With a new black roof spoiler, fresh styling cues, and a reworked cabin, the Ertiga aims to appeal to families seeking space, practicality, and a touch of premium feel.
Design and exterior updates
A notable addition is the new roof spoiler in black that gives the MPV a sportier silhouette across all variants. The update aligns with contemporary design trends without sacrificing the Ertiga’s family-friendly appeal. The rest of the body remains familiar, but the updated cues on the roof line and rear end give a more cohesive, modern look.
Interior comfort and climate control
The Ertiga’s cabin benefits from reconfigured air-conditioning vents. In the second row, the vents now run along the center console rather than the sides, and in the third row, vents sit on the right side for easier access. A newly adjustable rear blower system lets all occupants tune cooling to their preference, improving comfort on long drives.
Connectivity and rear-seat charging
In line with current expectations, the updated Ertiga adds two USB-C charging ports for the second and third rows, ensuring rear passengers can keep devices powered during travel. The engine remains familiar: a 1.5-litre petrol unit producing 102 PS and 136.8 Nm of torque powers both the 5-speed manual and the 6-speed automatic transmissions. The CNG variant, however, is offered with manual transmission only.
Powertrain and performance
Despite updates to comfort and cabin layout, the Ertiga’s powertrain stays the same, delivering reliable daily performance and good mid-range torque for city and highway cruising. Buyers can choose between the 5-speed manual or the 6-speed automatic, depending on their driving preferences, with the CNG variant available solely with manual gearboxes.
Pricing and market position
Post GST 2.0 reforms, the Ertiga’s starting ex-showroom price is now Rs 8.80 lakh, making it an attractive value proposition in the MPV segment. The updated model continues to compete strongly in a segment where space, practicality, and cost of ownership matter most to families.
Sales momentum and market outlook
Industry reports note strong demand for passenger vehicles, with the Ertiga forming a key part of the three-row family MPV segment. In August 2025, sales data indicate the Ertiga remains among the best-selling travel people movers with 18,445 units sold in the period. This momentum underscores the model’s balance of space, features, and value, especially during a festive season where families seek comfortable transportation.
What this means for buyers
If you’re in the market for a practical, well-equipped MPV that blends family comfort with a touch of premium feel, the updated Ertiga offers compelling reasons to consider. The combination of updated HVAC layout, added rear USB-C charging, and a refreshed exterior while preserving the well-loved 1.5-litre petrol engine and transmission options makes it a versatile choice for Indian roads.
