Maruti Suzuki India has increased the prices of its multi-purpose vehicle Ertiga by Rs 6,000. The seven-seater MPV Ertiga price hike has been implemented with immediate effect, the news comes a little over three months since the new generation model was launched. Maruti Suzuki launched the Ertiga earlier in April this year at a starting price of Rs 8.35 lakh (ex-showroom). The carmaker announced a hike of ₹6,000 on the multi-purpose vehicle this Friday.
The auto giant made the announcement through a regulatory filing. It said, “All the variants of Ertiga will now be equipped with ESP & Hill Hold Assist as standard features.” The latest price hike on Ertiga will be applicable across all manual variants. Maruti Suzuki said that the manual variants of Ertiga MPV will now come with added features like an electronic stability programme (ESP) and hill hold assist. These features were earlier available only in the automatic and top-of-the-range manual variants.
Following the latest price hike, the starting price for Ertiga will be revised to ₹8.41 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Maruti Suzuki Ertiga 2022 was officially launched with a slew of updates earlier this year. This is the first time that Maruti is offering CNG on the top-of-the-line ZXi variant of the Ertiga. The MPV is available in as many as four trims and 11 broad variants. There are three automatic options available – on VXi, ZXi and ZXi+, while CNG is also available in two variants.
Ertiga also gets an improved K-series 1.5-litre Dual VVT engine which is tuned to further enhance the fuel efficiency that the MPV offers. It is paired to the familiar five-speed gearbox while the previous four-speed automatic unit has been ditched for a six-speed unit. There are paddle shifters available on the model as well. Ertiga rivals the likes of Renault Triber while the recently-launched Kia Carens is also a competitor with its lower variants positioned at similar price points.
