It’s no secret that the.The article Maruti Suzuki Ertiga: A Million Dreams was first published by Restoring an old house It’s no secret that the Indian automotive industry is crazy about MPVs. It readily mixes spaciousness, practicality and low running costs with plenty of charm, such as its polished bodywork and its distinctive front-end design. We turn our gaze toward 2025 when the next version of this popular people-hauler is due to arrive. Here’s a speculative look at what the Ertiga 2025 could have in store.
A Design Revolution: Losing the Van-like Look
The existing Ertiga is utilitarian and very, very conservative to look at. The 2025 model will witness an immense theme shift using similar design cues attributed to the richer Maruti Invicto and worldwide Suzuki MPVs.
Anticipate a bolder, SUV-like posture that’s more current. This could include:
- A more upright, more aggressive front fascia with a larger, chrome-studded grille.
- A more premium visual signature, thanks to more-integrated LED headlamps and tail lamps.
- More defined character lines and newly designed alloy wheels to give it the increased presence on the road.
Inside & Space: Tech and Comfort Enhancements
Like the Ertiga too, the Marazzo’s cabin is famous for its space-saving 7-seater configuration. The 2025 revision will work withing that pragmatic framework to improve the quality and tech.
- High-Grade Materials: Anticipate a new-look dashboard with softer touch plastics and premium quality upholstery to better compete with the fresher competition.
- Tech Infusion: A bigger, standalone touchscreen infotainment system (9-inch+) with both wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay should be a must. The top models might get a full digital driver display.
- Upgraded Comfort: Amenities like ventilated seats, a superior audio system, and enhanced air-conditioning with rear vents will only cement that family-friendly vibe even further.
Powertrain: The Future Hybrid is Now
This is the Big Upgrade. The Maruti Ertiga 2025 could be even powered with Maruti Suzuki’s solid hybrid system which is currently offered in the Grand Vitara and Invicto.
- The Strong Hybrid System: This one combines the efficient naturally aspirated 1.5-litre K-series petrol engine with a stronger electric motor and a more potent battery. The result? Class leading fuel efficiency – hovering at a mind-boggling 30 kmpl+ (Under test conditions) – and the whisper-quiet electric-only drive at low speeds. * Petrol Choice: The tried-and-tested 1.5-litre K15 petrol engine with mild-hybrid (SHVS) technology is expected to stay as a more affordable option.
Safety: A Top Priority
So there would be loads of safety tech on the Ertiga 2025, thanks to more stringent safety norms. In addition to a strong body:
- Standard Dual Front Airbags and ABS.
- Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) on higher-end versions are few and include adaptive cruise, lane keep, and automatic emergency braking; a segment-first.
Price & Rivals
Ertiga 2025 will be a complete makeover with hybrid tech along with fresh features, taking it up in premium over Ertiga now. It will still have a battle on its hands with the Toyota Rumion, Kia Carens and Mahindra Marazzo to contend with in that segment, but will likely have that strong hybrid powertrain as an offering its rivals do not have.
The Final Word
When launched, the Maruti Ertiga 2025 will be quite a sea change. By taking a more SUV-like approach, a premium cabin and most significantly, an economical powerful hybrid drivetrain, it aims to not only retain itself the crown but redefine the segment of MPV. It wants to be the slickest, peppiest and most tech-heavy family car on a budget.
