Planning to bring home a Maruti Suzuki Ertiga this festive season? The popular seven-seater MPV has become slightly more expensive. Maruti Suzuki has raised the prices of select Ertiga variants by up to Rs 10,000 in October 2026, with the revised prices now reflecting on dealer price lists across the country.
The good news for most buyers is that the hike is narrow. Only the top-spec ZXi Plus variants and the fleet-focused Tour M versions cost more now. The rest of the range, including the entry-level LXi, is unchanged, which means the Ertiga still starts at Rs 8.90 lakh (ex-showroom). Here is the full variant-wise break-up of what changed and what did not.
Which Ertiga variants cost more now
The biggest increase of Rs 10,000 applies to the top-end ZXi Plus variants, both with the petrol engine:
- ZXi Plus Petrol MT: Rs 11.69 lakh to Rs 11.79 lakh (up Rs 10,000).
- ZXi Plus Petrol AT: Rs 13.04 lakh to Rs 13.14 lakh (up Rs 10,000).
The Tour M variants, which are popular with fleet and taxi operators, have received a smaller increase of Rs 2,500 each:
- Tour M Petrol MT: Rs 9.92 lakh to Rs 9.95 lakh (up Rs 2,500).
- Tour M CNG MT: Rs 10.91 lakh to Rs 10.93 lakh (up Rs 2,500).
Variants with no price change
Several variants carry on at their existing prices, so buyers who are flexible on trim can dodge the hike entirely:
- LXi Petrol MT: Rs 8.90 lakh (no change).
- VXi Petrol MT: Rs 9.95 lakh (no change).
- ZXi Petrol MT: Rs 11.02 lakh (no change).
- VXi Petrol AT: Rs 11.30 lakh (no change).
- ZXi Petrol AT: Rs 12.37 lakh (no change).
- VXi and ZXi CNG variants: unchanged.
After the revision, the Ertiga range is priced between Rs 8.90 lakh and Rs 13.14 lakh (ex-showroom). The model is offered in four trims, LXi, VXi, ZXi and ZXi Plus, with petrol and CNG fuel options.
What powers the Ertiga
Nothing mechanical has changed with this price revision. The Ertiga continues with its 1.5-litre K15C petrol engine, paired with a five-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed torque-converter automatic. A factory-fitted CNG version is also on sale for buyers who want lower running costs.
The Ertiga remains one of India’s most popular seven-seat family cars, and its sales momentum is strong. The MPV registered dispatches of 16,911 units in September 2026, up around 40 percent from 12,115 units in the same month last year, according to industry data cited by Autocar India. That kind of demand gives Maruti room to nudge prices on the top variants without denting the model’s appeal.
Why the hike, and why now
Maruti has been revising prices across its line-up in recent weeks. The Ertiga’s sibling, the XL6, also saw a price increase this month, and the Fronx went up by Rs 5,000 on some versions. Carmakers have pointed to rising input costs through the year, and selective hikes on higher variants let them protect margins while keeping entry prices attractive during the festive season, when footfalls are at their peak.
For family buyers, the practical takeaway is simple. If you were eyeing the fully loaded ZXi Plus, budget Rs 10,000 more than before. If you are looking at the LXi, VXi or ZXi trims, or the CNG versions, your on-road quote should be unchanged. As always, confirm the final price with your dealer before booking, since registration, insurance and local charges vary by city.
Should you still buy the Ertiga
Even after the hike, the Ertiga’s core pitch is intact: seven seats, a proven petrol engine, a CNG option, and Maruti’s wide service network, all starting under Rs 9 lakh. The ZXi Plus remains the pick for buyers who want the full feature list, while the VXi continues to offer the best balance of price and equipment for most families.
With the festive season in full swing, dealers may also have offers running that soften the impact of the hike, so it is worth asking about exchange bonuses and corporate discounts before signing the dotted line.
