While rumors of a 2025 Maruti Ertiga facelift circulate, Maruti Suzuki has quietly implemented a price increase across the current Ertiga lineup. Effective immediately from February 2025, the revised pricing affects all new Ertiga purchases. Let’s delve into the variant-wise price adjustments and examine what this means for prospective buyers.
Ertiga Price Hike: A Closer Look
Despite the growing popularity of SUVs, people carriers like the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga continue to hold a strong appeal in India due to their practicality and versatility. As India’s best-selling MPV, the Ertiga has just received a price hike of up to Rs 15,000 in February 2025. While Maruti Suzuki hasn’t officially cited a reason, rising input costs are likely the primary factor behind this adjustment.
The most substantial price increase of Rs 15,000 affects the base LXi (O) variant, pushing its new starting price to Rs 8.84 lakh (ex-showroom). Other variants, including the VXi (O), VXi (O) CNG, ZXi (O), VXi AT, ZXi+, ZXi (O) CNG, ZXi AT, and ZXi+ AT, have all received a uniform Rs 10,000 price hike, bringing their top-spec prices to Rs 13.13 lakh (ex-showroom).

No New Features, Yet
This price revision doesn’t appear to have brought any new features to the Ertiga. The MPV continues to be powered by the same 1.5L K15C naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, available with either a five-speed manual or a six-speed torque converter automatic transmission. A CNG option is also available.
Maruti Suzuki has been actively enhancing its safety offerings, making six airbags standard across its portfolio. This trend was observed with the Swift and Dzire, and more recently, the Celerio also received six airbags as standard. Currently, the Ertiga offers four airbags, but it’s reasonable to expect this number to increase to six in the future, aligning with the brand’s safety-focused approach. Whether this upgrade will coincide with the rumored 2025 facelift remains to be seen. The price hike could be a precursor to the facelift, allowing Maruti to position the updated model at a slightly higher price point. Alternatively, it could simply be a response to increased manufacturing costs, independent of the upcoming model changes.
