The popular Maruti Ertiga has received a comprehensive update for 2025, and the refreshed MPV is now making its way to dealerships across India. Known for dominating the entry-level MPV segment with its practical design and competitive pricing, the latest iteration brings several meaningful improvements that address customer feedback while maintaining the model’s core appeal.
What Makes the 2025 Ertiga Stand Out
The most noticeable change comes in the form of an extended roof-mounted rear spoiler that gives the MPV a more dynamic and modern appearance. This design element not only enhances visual appeal but also contributes to the vehicle’s improved road presence.
Maruti has also increased the overall length by 40mm, bringing the total dimension to 4,435mm. This expansion translates into better proportions and a more commanding stance on the road.
Fresh Design Elements Transform the Rear Profile
The back end of the 2025 Ertiga showcases updated tail lamp clusters that work harmoniously with the redesigned tailgate and rear quarter panels. These modifications create a cohesive and contemporary look that sets the new model apart from its predecessor.
However, Maruti has maintained continuity with the front design, keeping the existing grille pattern and headlight configuration unchanged. This approach ensures brand recognition while focusing improvement efforts on areas that needed the most attention.
Safety Takes Center Stage with Standard 6-Airbag Protection
Perhaps the most significant upgrade comes in the safety department. Every variant of the 2025 Ertiga now includes six airbags as standard equipment, representing a substantial improvement over the previous model’s two-airbag setup in base variants and four airbags in higher trims.
The variant lineup remains familiar with LXi, VXi, ZXi, and ZXi+ trim levels continuing from the previous generation. The top ZXi+ variant now features a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), adding another layer of safety technology.
All seven seating positions now come equipped with three-point seatbelts, replacing the previous lap belt configuration for the second-row middle passenger. This change ensures proper protection for every occupant regardless of seating position.
Climate Control Gets a Complete Overhaul
The air conditioning system has undergone significant restructuring to improve comfort for all passengers. The previous roof-mounted AC vent that served both second and third rows has been replaced with a more efficient setup.
Second-row passengers now benefit from dedicated AC vents integrated into the front center console, positioned conveniently alongside two Type-C charging ports. This arrangement provides better airflow control and easier access to power outlets.
Third-row occupants receive their own AC vents mounted on the sides, complete with adjustable fan speed controls. The ZXi and ZXi+ variants also include two Type-C USB ports in the third row, ensuring connectivity for all passengers.
The top-spec model introduces a PM 2.5 filter to improve air quality inside the cabin, while the second-row middle seat gains a headrest for enhanced comfort during longer journeys.
Technology and Features Remain Comprehensive
The 2025 Ertiga retains its strong feature set from the previous generation, including the seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. The Arkamys premium sound system continues to provide quality audio entertainment.
The Multi-Information Display (MID) with color TFT instrument cluster keeps drivers informed, while the comprehensive safety package includes Electronic Stability Program, Hill Hold Assist, ABS with EBD, brake assist, rear parking sensors, backup camera, and central locking.
Higher variants maintain access to Suzuki Connect’s suite of connectivity features, allowing remote vehicle monitoring and control through smartphone integration.
Powertrain Options Continue Unchanged
Under the hood, the 2025 Ertiga maintains the proven 1.5-liter K15C smart hybrid petrol engine that produces 103 horsepower and 139 Nm of torque. Customers can choose between a five-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic gearbox.
The CNG variant delivers 87 horsepower and 121.5 Nm of torque, paired exclusively with a five-speed manual transmission. This powertrain combination continues to offer an economical option for buyers prioritizing fuel efficiency.
Market Position and Expectations
With these updates, the 2025 Maruti Ertiga strengthens its position as India’s leading entry-level MPV. The focus on safety improvements, climate control enhancement, and design refinements addresses key customer concerns while maintaining the practical approach that made the model successful.
The combination of increased dimensions, standard six-airbag protection, and improved passenger comfort features positions the updated Ertiga as a more compelling choice in the competitive MPV segment. These enhancements demonstrate Maruti’s commitment to continuous improvement while keeping the vehicle accessible to its target market.
