The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga has long been a favorite among Indian families seeking space, comfort, and value. But imagine if it got a sporty makeover—sharper design, bolder features, more aggressive detailing. That’s what we’re exploring in this blog: the “Sporty Ertiga 2025” — real specs + wishful sporty touches + what it costs.
What’s New in Ertiga 2025
Before we get into sporty upgrades, here are the current official updates and baseline specs for the 2025 Maruti Suzuki Ertiga in India:
- Price (ex-showroom) ranges from about ₹9.12 lakh for the base model to about ₹13.40 lakh for the top-end ZXi+ AT automatic trim.
- Engine & Performance: 1,462 cc petrol engine. The petrol version offers around 101–102 bhp and torque in the region of 139 Nm.
- Mileage: Roughly 20.3 – 20.51 kmpl for petrol manual/auto variants. The CNG version offers much higher efficiency (approx. 26.11 km/kg).
- Safety: Significant update recently—the Ertiga now comes with six airbags as standard across all variants.
These are the building blocks. Now let’s rev up the speedometer and imagine how a Sporty Model could take this further.
Sporty Upgrades: Interior & Exterior Ideas
Here’s how the Ertiga could be modified to feel more sporty — think more style, sharper details, and enhanced driver experience.
| Area | What to Upgrade / Add | Expected Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Exterior Design | Aggressive front bumper, wider wheel arches, 18-19″ alloys, rear spoiler, sporty exhaust tips, LED DRLs | Athletic stance, sharper lines, more road presence. |
| Color & Finish | Bold metallic colors, contrast roof, sporty decals/stripes | Strong sporty identity. |
| Interior | Sports seats with bolstering, red stitching, carbon accents, flat-bottom steering, paddle shifters, ambient lighting | Engaging and premium driving experience. |
| Performance | Tuned suspension, low-profile tyres, sport mode, upgraded brakes | Sharper handling, better performance. |
| Tech & Features | Digital cluster with sport graphics, premium audio, wireless charging, drive modes | Adds premium sporty feel. |
Real vs Imagined: What’s Already There
Some sporty cues are already present in Ertiga’s current trims; others would be upgrades or accessories:
- 7-seater cabin with flexible seating layout, good space in middle and first row.
- Infotainment, climate control, alloy wheels in higher variants.
- Six airbags standard across all trims (recent upgrade).
So sporty model would build on this base, not an overhaul.
