Maruti Ertiga VXi Updates

Wednesday, 31 July 2024 07:35 AM The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga has recently faced a setback in safety ratings, scoring a poor 1-star safety rating in the Global NCAP crash tests. The bodyshell of the Ertiga was assessed as ‘unstable’. This is a significant concern for potential buyers who prioritize safety. I believe that Maruti Suzuki needs to address these safety issues to maintain consumer trust.

Tuesday, 14 November 2023 07:41 PM Maruti Suzuki has announced that the new Ertiga will only offer an automatic gearbox with the petrol version, powered by a 1.5-litre engine paired with a conventional 4-speed torque convertor automatic. The diesel variant will only be available with a 5-speed manual transmission. This move could impact the appeal of the diesel model for those seeking convenience. I think this decision might push more buyers towards the petrol automatic variant.

Sunday, 10 September 2023 11:11 AM The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga has seen a significant demand for its CNG variant, with the Ertiga CNG accounting for around 30% of Maruti’s pending CNG orders. This high demand has led to supply issues, but Maruti is expanding its production capacity to address this. I believe this indicates a strong market preference for CNG vehicles due to fuel efficiency and cost savings.

Friday, 15 April 2022 01:41 PM Maruti Suzuki has updated the Ertiga with new features, including Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and hill assist, which are now standard across all variants. This update has resulted in a price hike of Rs. 6,000. The starting ex-showroom price in Delhi is now Rs. 8.41 lakh. I think these added safety features are a welcome move, even if it means a slight increase in price.

Friday, 15 April 2022 06:38 PM The 2022 Maruti Suzuki Ertiga was launched in India with minor cosmetic updates, new equipment, and a new DualJet petrol engine. The model is available in four trims - LXI, VXI, ZXI, and ZXI+ - with optional automatic variants in the VXI, ZXI, and ZXI+ trims. I believe these updates will help the Ertiga maintain its competitive edge in the MPV segment.
