Maruti Ertiga FAQs

The base LXi variant of the Ertiga starts at about ₹9.11 lakh (ex-showroom), while the top-end ZXi+ variant goes up to roughly ₹13.40 lakh (ex-showroom).

The Ertiga and the Rumion are very similar mechanically and in features, because Rumion is essentially a rebadged/modified version of the Ertiga with some styling tweaks (a different grille, bumper, badge, wheel design) and slightly different interior themes (Rumion gets grey interior shade, Ertiga offers dual-tone beige/black etc.). Rumion usually sells for about ₹50,000 to ₹61,000 more than the equivalent Ertiga variant. Feature-by-feature, they share the 1.5-litre petrol engine (103 PS / 137 Nm), gearbox options (manual or automatic), CNG version in both, safety features like ESC, four airbags on higher trims etc.

Ertiga matters because it’s one of the few 7-seater MPVs in its price band that balances space, comfort, and fuel efficiency. For families in Tier-3 cities who need to carry more people (parents, kids, relatives), sometimes luggage, school run, but don’t want a huge SUV, Ertiga offers a no-nonsense solution. The relatively low maintenance cost, wide Maruti service network, and decent mileage (especially with CNG) make it very practical. Also, in recent months Ertiga sales have shot up (in August 2025 it even took the #1 spot among all cars with ~18,445 units sold) which shows how much people trust it.

Ertiga petrol manual returns around 19 kmpl in ARAI claims, similar for petrol automatic. The petrol+CNG version gives ~ 26.2 km/kg under CNG mode.

It uses a 1.5-litre petrol engine (approx 103 PS / 137 Nm) in petrol mode, and in CNG mode output drops (~88 PS / 121.5 Nm). Buyers can choose between a manual gearbox or an automatic (torque converter) in petrol variants; CNG is manual only.

Ertiga is a true MPV with 7 seats. Boot space with all 3 rows up is modest (~209 litres), but when 3rd row folded it opens up (~550 litres), and with 2nd + 3rd folded even more (~803 litres). Length is around 4,395 mm or more depending on version. The car has enough ground clearance, practical cabin height, sliding doors, decent space in 2nd row, and third row usable for kids or shorter journeys.

A buyer who needs 7 seats regularly or occasionally (kids, family, carpool), drives in small or mid-sized towns, cares about cost of running (petrol/CNG), wants a reliable MPV with good resale, and values comfort over rugged SUV looks. If you don’t need 7 seats often, smaller MPVs or SUVs might make more sense.
