A Refreshed Family Favorite
Maruti Suzuki is set to launch the 2025 Ertiga facelift, a revamped version of India’s best-selling 7-seater MPV, in June 2025. Known for its spacious cabin, reliability, and fuel efficiency, the Ertiga has sold over 1 million units since 2012. The 2025 model promises a bolder design, enhanced technology, and improved mileage, targeting families and fleet operators. With a starting price around ₹9.81 lakh (on-road, Gurgaon), it aims to stay competitive against the Kia Carens, Toyota Rumion, and Renault Triber.
Sleek New Design
The 2025 Ertiga sports a modernized exterior with a redesigned chrome grille, butterfly-wing fog lamps, and sleek LED headlights for better illumination. The front bumper has a sharper look, while L-shaped LED taillights and a roof-mounted spoiler add flair to the rear. Available in seven colors—Pearl Arctic White, Splendid Silver, Metallic Magma Grey, Pearl Metallic Auburn Red, Pearl Metallic Oxford Blue, Dignity Brown, and Pearl Midnight Black it blends sophistication with MPV practicality. The 15-inch alloy wheels remain, though larger wheels would enhance its stance.
Spacious and Tech-Loaded Interior
Inside, the Ertiga 2025 offers a dual-tone cabin with teakwood-like dashboard accents and premium fabric upholstery. The 7-seater layout features foldable third-row seats, expanding the 209-liter boot to 800 liters when folded. A larger 9-inch floating touchscreen supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, paired with a digital instrument cluster. Other features include rear AC vents, auto climate control, keyless entry, and a rearview camera. However, the absence of a sunroof and Type-C ports is notable. The cabin’s beige tones and large windows create an airy feel, ideal for long trips.
Powerful Engine with Top Mileage
The 2025 Ertiga retains its 1.5L K15C Smart Hybrid petrol engine (103 bhp, 137 Nm), paired with a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. The CNG variant, a highlight, delivers 88 bhp and 121.5 Nm with a 5-speed manual, achieving an ARAI-claimed mileage of 26.11 km/kg. Recent posts on X and some reports claim up to 32 kmpl for the CNG variant under ideal conditions, though real-world figures are closer to 22–26 km/kg. The petrol variant offers 20.3–20.51 kmpl, making it economical for city and highway drives.

Safety and Reliability
Safety is upgraded with dual front airbags (six in top trims), ABS with EBD, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), and hill-hold assist. A rear parking camera and sensors are standard, though its 1-star Global NCAP rating (CNG variant) raises concerns about build quality. The HEARTECT platform improves crash energy absorption, but some users note hard plastics in the cabin. Maruti’s vast service network and low maintenance costs ensure reliability, with a 3-year/1,00,000 km warranty.
Why It’s a Smart Choice
The 2025 Ertiga, launching in June 2025, combines refreshed styling, a tech-savvy interior, and class-leading fuel efficiency, especially with its CNG variant. Priced competitively, it’s ideal for large families and commercial use, offering flexible seating and ample storage. While claims of 32 kmpl mileage may be optimistic, its 26 km/kg CNG efficiency is impressive. Check Maruti Suzuki’s website for bookings and updates. Despite missing premium features like a sunroof, the Ertiga remains a practical, budget-friendly MPV for India’s roads.
