It is priced from Rs. 5.50 lakh, going up to Rs. 7.95 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
Maruti Suzuki XL6
The Maruti Suzuki XL6 is essentially an upmarket model of the Ertiga. The premium MPV sells via Maruti's Nexa platform, which is designed for premium models. It is based on the Ertiga and comes with major design updates and all-new crossover-like styling. It is powered by a 1.5-litre K15 petrol engine with SHVS mild-hybrid technology and a Li-ion battery. It is priced in between Rs. 9.94 lakh to Rs. 11.73 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
Kia Seltos
The Kia Seltos is not a direct competition to the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga. However, the compact SUV can be a feasible option to consider as it comes loaded with new-age features. The SUV has become one of the most popular SUVs in the country. The SUV was first launched in 2019. The updated model of the SUV went on sale earlier this year. It is available for sale in three engine options - 1.5-litre Smartstream naturally aspirated petrol, a 1.4-litre T-GDI turbocharged petrol, and a 1.5-litre CRDi VGT diesel engine. The compact SUV is priced between Rs. 9.95 lakh, going up to Rs. 17.65 lakh (ex-showroom).
Hyundai Creta
Like the Seltos, the Hyundai Creta is also not a direct rival to the Maruti Ertiga. It is one of the most favourite compact SUVs among Indian car buyers. The new-generation Creta is packed with new-age technology. Like the Venue and the top models, the Creta is also a connected car with Hyundai's BlueLink connectivity technology. The Creta SUV is priced at Rs. 9.99 lakh to Rs. 17.70 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
