Maruti Suzuki Ertiga posted a total of 1,98,876 units in FY26 with a YoY growth of 4 per cent in India
The Financial Year 2025-26 turned out to be a brilliant year for passenger vehicle sales in India with a handful of models crossing or coming close to the 2 lakh unit mark. The Maruti Suzuki Dzire led the overall charts with 2,29,130 units – registering a substantial 39 per cent year-on-year growth. The Tata Nexon followed in second place with 2,16,054 units.
Its sales numbers were up 32 per cent over the previous year. The Hyundai Creta rounded off the 2 lakh club with 2,01,921 units – growing 4 per cent over FY2024-25. Just outside that threshold sat the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga with 1,98,876 units – a figure that carries its own significance as it is the only MPV in the country to come anywhere close to the 2 lakh mark in FY26.
To put that in perspective, the combined sales of the Toyota Innova Crysta and Innova Hycross, the two most prominent models in the MPV space stood at just over 1.12 lakh units – barely half of what the Ertiga managed on its own. The reasons behind the Ertiga’s sustained popularity are fairly straightforward as it occupies a sweet spot in the market.

It is a seven-seater that is priced accessibly, easy to run and practical enough for both family use and commercial fleet operators. The current Ertiga is powered by a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 103 bhp and 137 Nm of torque, and is mated to either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission.
A factory-fitted CNG option is also available which has been a significant volume contributor given the running cost advantage it offers. Prices range from around Rs. 8.79 lakh to Rs. 12.94 lakh (ex-showroom) making it one of the competitively priced seven-seaters in the segment.

As for features, the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga offers a 7-inch SmartPlay Pro touchscreen, automatic climate control, rear AC vents, cruise control and connected car technology on higher variants. While it won’t match the premium appeal of the Innova Hycross, it delivers on space, efficiency and value – a combination that has kept it at the top of the MPV sales charts year after year.
