Exterior Updates
The 2025 Ertiga has grown slightly in size, now measuring 4,435 mm in length, giving it a stronger road presence. Its new rear spoiler is extended and comes with black inserts, which are now standard across all trims. Tail lamps and the tailgate have been redesigned, while most other exterior elements such as the front grille and headlamps remain the same.
Interior Enhancements
Inside, Maruti has focused on safety and comfort. All variants now come with 6-airbags. Previously, lower trims had only 2 airbags, and higher trims had 4. A tyre pressure monitoring system is available for the top model. All seven seats now have 3-point seatbelts, improving safety for every passenger.
Passenger comfort has also been improved with revised AC vents. The second-row vents are now placed below the center console. Third-row passengers have dedicated side vents with adjustable fan speed. Two Type-C USB ports are provided for both the second and third rows on ZXi and ZXi+ trims. The PM 2.5 air filter is now included in the top variant.
Other features retained from the previous model include a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Arkamys premium sound system, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and a color TFT instrument cluster. Safety technology like electronic stability program, hill hold, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, and rear camera remain standard, with Suzuki Connect available in higher trims.
Engine And Performance
The mechanical setup remains unchanged. The 1.5-litre K15C petrol engine produces 103 PS and 139 Nm, paired with either a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. The CNG variant delivers 87 PS and 121.5 Nm, with a 5-speed manual gearbox.
