The Maruti Ertiga has been a favorite for families in India for a long time, offering a good mix of usefulness, affordability, and saving fuel. Now, the much-awaited New Maruti Ertiga 2025 is set to make things even better. With improved comfort, great fuel mileage of around 20 kmpl, and even more room inside, the 2025 Ertiga is looking like a very good choice in the family car (MPV) group.
Great Comfort and Better Looks
The 2025 Ertiga gets a new design while keeping its familiar and useful style. The front now has a new, sharper front grill, with nice LED headlights and changed bumpers that make it look better on the road. The side still has its good family car shape but looks a bit more stylish with newly designed alloy wheels. Small changes to the back, including updated taillights and bumper changes, make it look a bit sportier. Maruti Suzuki is likely to offer more color choices, giving buyers more ways to make it their own.
Inside, the focus is still on comfort and ease for families. The tried-and-tested 2-3-2 seating setup fits seven people easily. Expect better seat covers, maybe even nicer fabric or leather-like material in better versions. The dashboard design will likely be updated with a bigger touch screen for entertainment that works easily with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A digital display for the driver might also be included in some versions, giving a modern and helpful view.
Ease of use will be important, with things like automatic air conditioning, lots of storage spots, and nicer materials in the car. Ways to connect, like many USB ports and Bluetooth, will work for everyone in the car. The middle row will still have plenty of legroom and might slide and lean back, while the third row will fit kids or smaller adults comfortably. The trunk space is made to be useful, making the Ertiga good for family trips with enough room for bags, especially when the third row is folded down.
Good Fuel Mileage
The current Maruti Ertiga is known for saving fuel, and the 2025 model is expected to keep, if not improve, this important feature. Using the improved 1.5L K15C mild-hybrid petrol engine, the new Ertiga will likely get around 20 kmpl in mileage. This engine currently makes about 103 bhp of power and 138 Nm of torque. Gearbox choices will probably include a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic, fitting different driving styles. Maruti Suzuki might also continue to offer a CNG version for even better fuel savings and lower running costs, with a claimed mileage of around 26.11 km/kg in the current model.
Lots of Space and Flexibility Inside
The claim that the New Ertiga 2025 has “lots of space inside” is true, building on what the current model does well. The 2740 mm distance between the front and back wheels means good legroom in the first two rows. The flexible seating where the third row can be split 50:50 allows for different ways to fit people and bags. Features like seats that lean back in the second and maybe the third row, along with air vents in the second row, will make passengers more comfortable on long trips, especially in the Indian weather. Smart storage spots, including pockets on the back of the front seats and places to put phones, will add to how useful the inside is.
Better Safety and Technology
Maruti Suzuki is expected to improve the safety features in the 2025 Ertiga. Basic safety items will likely include two front airbags, ABS with EBD (electronic brake-force distribution), and parking sensors in the back for most versions. Better versions might offer more advanced safety features like Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Hill-Hold Assist, and a system to check tire pressure (TPMS). While the build quality might not be as good as more expensive family cars, these safety improvements will show Maruti’s focus on keeping passengers safe.
In terms of technology, the SmartPlay Pro touch screen for entertainment with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay is expected to be a key feature. The Suzuki Connect system might also be included, offering features like finding your car remotely, checking how your car is doing, and getting help in an emergency through a phone app. Useful features like wireless phone charging, controls on the steering wheel, and voice commands could also be available on better versions.
Expected Versions and Prices
The New Maruti Ertiga 2025 will likely be offered in several versions, similar to the current model, including LXi, VXi, ZXi, and ZXi+. Prices are expected to be around ₹9 lakh to ₹12 lakh (without taxes), making it a competitive option against rivals like the Kia Carens and the Maruti XL6.
In Conclusion
The New Maruti Ertiga 2025 looks like a good overall package that improves on what its older version offered. With its great comfort, good fuel mileage, lots of space inside, better safety features, and modern technology, it is likely to be a strong choice in the 7-seater family car group in India, perfectly meeting the needs of big families looking for a useful and comfortable vehicle.
