The new Maruti Suzuki Ertiga 2025 is now on Indian roads with a new vigor and fresh look. This is not a simple facelift but a change that attracts you at first glance. I myself have been watching the vehicles of the MPV segment for a long time and it is really interesting to see how Maruti is constantly improving this family car. In this article, we will know what is new in it, how are its features and why it still remains the most reliable 7-seater car in India.
New Look and Bold Design
Maruti Suzuki has not just changed the Ertiga a little bit, but its entire front fascia and rear design now look more premium than before. The front headlights have a slight resemblance to the Audi A4 and the new chrome grill gives it a sharp and elegant look. At the rear, the taillights now appear connected to each other, which has made its rear look even more attractive. Some new color options have also been given in it, which makes it stand out in the crowd. Overall, this car now looks more youthful and stylish than before.

Petrol, mild-hybrid and CNG options
The new Ertiga 2025 gets the same 1.5-liter K-series petrol engine as before but now it has smart hybrid technology added to it which improves both mileage and driving smoothness. The engine produces around 102 bhp of power and 136 to 139 Nm of torque. It has the option of 5-speed manual and 6-speed automatic gearbox.
For those who are mileage conscious, a CNG variant is also available, which gets around 87 to 88 bhp of power and the company claims that it gives a mileage of more than 26 km per kg. According to real users, it is getting a mileage of about 22 km per kg. The petrol manual variant gives a mileage of about 20.5 km per liter and the automatic variant gives a mileage of 20.3 km per liter.
Comfortable and practical cabin
Ertiga has always been known for its space and it remains intact in the 2025 model as well. It has better interior ergonomics with a 7-seater layout. The second row seats slide and recline, roof mounted AC vents and USB charging ports make long journeys comfortable. The third row proves to be better for children or people of short stature.
Talking about boot space, with the third row, it gets about 209 liters of space which can be increased to 550 liters when folded. The CNG variant also has smartly built storage around the cylinder. The wooden touch finish in the interior design, comfortable seats and neat dashboard layout make it even more premium.

Apart from this, it has many features like remote engine start, automatic climate control, rear parking sensors, reverse camera (in top variants), hill-hold assist and ISOFIX child mounts.
Safety Features
Ertiga has become stronger in terms of safety. Now it comes with features like dual front airbags, ABS with EBD ESP, hill hold assist, rear parking sensors and ISOFIX as standard. Top variants also get side airbags, rear wiper and defogger.
It was earlier given a 3 star rating by Global NCAP but Maruti is now continuously adding new safety features. Bharat NCAP rating is not currently available in India.
