Maruti Suzuki Ertiga Sales Milestone: MPV Crosses 5 Lakh Units Since Launch In India

The company sold a total of 4,18,128 units of the first-generation Ertiga over a period of seven years, and sold over a 1 lakh units over the 13 months since launching the current-generation models.

The volume of sales of the Ertiga have helped Maruti secure a 50.3 per cent of the MPV segment in the country. That translates to a 25.3 per cent increase in Maruti's stronghold in the segment.

Shashank Srivastava the Executive Director for Marketing & Sales at Maruti Suzuki India Limited said, "The Ertiga created a niche for itself as a three-row, comfortable MPV to become a runaway success. Its success helped us to strengthen our market presence in the MPV segment. The Ertiga is a market leader with 36 per cent market share amongst MPVs, and its leadership continues with support from customers."

Maruti launched the current-generation Ertiga during November 2018. The new MPV features a new design language, new interiors, and new engine options as well. The Ertiga is built on Suzuki's fifth-generation Heartect platform, and features an array of safety features like dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, and a reverse parking sensor - standard features across all variants.

The current-generation Ertiga is available with a 1.5-litre petrol engine that produces 103bhp of power and 138Nm of torque. Transmission options are a five-speed manual and a four-gear automatic.

The Ertiga is also available with a 1.5-litre diesel engine that produces 94bhp of power and 225 Nm of torque. The engine comes mated to a six-speed manual transmission. The MPV is also available with a 1.5-litre CNG engine that produces 91bhp of power and 122Nm of torque. The engine comes mated to a five-speed manual transmission.

The current generation Maruti Suzuki Ertiga is priced between Rs 7.55 lakh and Rs 11.21 lakh (ex-showroom, India).

Thoughts About The Ertiga Crossing Five Lakh Units In Sales Over Eight Years

Like we've said before, Maruti has been consistent since they launched their first 800cc car in 1984. The company has worked hard over the years and they are beginning to set records today. We expect the company, and its offerings to reach more milestones over the next few years.
