The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga uses a single 1.5-litre (1462cc), four-cylinder K-series petrol engine, with a factory-fitted CNG option on the same engine. The petrol makes 103hp at 6,000rpm and 136.8Nm at 4,400rpm, while on CNG the output drops to 87.83hp at 5,500rpm and 121.5Nm at 4,200rpm. The petrol engine is available with a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed torque-converter automatic with paddle shifters, while the CNG version, offered on the VXi and ZXi trims, gets only the manual gearbox. Every version is BS6-compliant and E20-compatible.

Key facts for the Ertiga:

The car seats seven, with a sliding and reclining middle row and a 50:50 split third row.
It measures 4,395mm in length, 1,735mm in width and 1,690mm in height, on a 2,740mm wheelbase. Kerb weight ranges from 1,150kg on the base model to 1,205kg on the top variant.
Our testing recorded 13.9 seconds from 0 to 100 kph in the petrol and 15.5 seconds in the CNG.
The petrol tank holds 45 litres. The CNG tank holds 60 litres and sits under the floor, so the three-row layout stays intact.
Six airbags, ABS with EBD, seat belt warnings, an over-speed alert and rear parking sensors are standard across the range.
Global NCAP rated the Ertiga 3 stars under the older protocols, but the 2025 model gets 1 star under the newer ones.
The touchscreen supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a colour TFT display shows the CNG level and the CNG-to-petrol ratio.
Keyless entry and push-button start are available from the ZXi, and cruise control and automatic headlamps are available from the ZXi+.
A fire extinguisher is mounted under the middle-row seat for easy access.
Seven single-tone exterior colours are offered, with no dual-tone options.

7XO petrol is way too fun to drive and is so much better.

I have driven both vehicles, and I would bet on Toyota over Honda Elevate. The Toyota hybrid gives around 22-23 km/l even in busy traffic. Overall usage and driving feedback of Toyota is better. Seating position is very good and visibility at corners and pillars is better than Honda.

We had the Ertiga a few years back, and it was a reliable choice.

The 7XO is an ideal choice for our roads and highways, which have improved but still need better safety. It offers a better lifestyle experience compared to the Carens Clavis.

Ertiga has a bigger engine and offers a smooth ride. It also has a wide service network and maintains good resale value after long use.

I am using the Ertiga CNG since 2017 and have enjoyed it a lot. It has covered 126,000 km.

Consider a second-hand Ertiga if you need more space for passengers. It might be a better option for long drives.

I own a 5-year-old Ertiga. As a retired person, I frequently drive on highways, mostly with two persons. The car has been reliable for these journeys.

Renault Turbo or Ertiga?

Questions you may find useful

I am confused between renault triber turbo and ertiga ..pls suggest

The Renault Triber Turbo is a well-packaged seven-seater that delivers excellent value for money. In fact, the Triber Turbo MT top-end variant with all the bells and whistles is priced at par with the entry-level Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. And its new turbo-petrol engine makes it well suited for highway and urban applications. So, if you're on a tight budget, this Renault car is certainly the one to go for.The Maruti Ertiga on the other hand is a proven, dependable product, backed by Maruti's widespread network. Additionally, this Maruti Suzuki car also benefits from stronger resale value. So while it doesn't offer the same bang for your buck or effortless performance as the Triber turbo, it remains a car you just can't go wrong with.

Looking at Carens Clavis, Ertiga and XUV 7XO for a family of six. Third-row comfort matters more than features here, what has worked well for people who regularly use all three rows?

I am considering the Jimny Automatic and would like to understand how it performs on highways, particularly how stable and confidence-inspiring it feels while cruising at around 100kmph. I have heard some owners mention that it can feel a little wobbly at this speed. I am not expecting sporty performance, but highway stability and confidence are important to me. The Jimny’s narrower width is actually a positive for me because of tighter parking spaces. I currently drive an Ertiga ZXi+ Petrol Manual and cover around 6,000km a year. Jimny owners and drivers, please share your real-world experiences, especially on long drives and expressways.

The Maruti Suzuki Jimny is a very different proposition from your Ertiga. It is a proper off-road SUV with a narrow body, tall stance and a short wheelbase, and that fundamentally shapes its highway behaviour. At 100 km/h it is stable enough, but it does not feel as planted or as confidence-inspiring as a wider, lower SUV like the Brezza. The Jimny is light and tall, so crosswinds and passing trucks can be felt more, and the steering is not as precise at higher speeds. What some people describe as a “wobble” is really the car’s natural tendency to feel a bit more lively on the road at speed, especially on uneven surfaces.That said, it is not unsafe or unstable – it is just a different kind of vehicle. The Jimny is happiest at a relaxed cruise, and it rewards you with its compact size, excellent visibility and genuine off-road ability. If your priority is highway stability and long-distance comfort, the Jimny is not the best choice. If you value its compact dimensions and off-road capability, and you are willing to drive at a more relaxed pace, it can be a very satisfying car to own.

I am thinking of buying a new seven-seater car, and my running will be around 2,500-2,700 km per month, mostly on highways. I am considering CNG options such as the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga VXi CNG and Kia Carens Clavis HTE CNG. EVs are currently out of my radar due to depreciation concerns and the infrastructure changes required. However, I want to keep my running costs reasonably low, which is why I am considering CNG. I would also like to upgrade the car later with aftermarket accessories, as long as they do not affect the manufacturer's warranty. Kindly suggest which of the Ertiga VXi CNG and Carens Clavis HTE CNG would be the better choice considering running costs, initial investment and resale value. Thank you.

Go for the Maruti Ertiga VXi CNG. With your running of 2,500-2,700 km a month, a CNG car makes sense, and the Ertiga is the safer long-term bet. Maruti’s CNG system is well-proven, the car is reliable, and service reach is excellent. The Ertiga also has a strong resale value, which matters given your high usage and eventual upgrade plans.The Kia Carens Clavis HTE CNG is a good product with a higher-quality cabin and a few more features, but the Ertiga is much better priced. On accessories, stick to Maruti-approved upgrades to avoid warranty issues. The Ertiga’s running costs are low, and it is a practical, comfortable 7-seater for highway use. Overall, it is the more sensible choice for your usage pattern.

Was about to buy a used Ertiga and randomly did an RC check before paying. Found out there was a pending hypothecation which the seller hadn't mentioned. Good thing I checked.
