It is the entry-level trim for an automatic gearbox option as well as the choice of a CNG kit
The second trim in the Ertiga’s lineup is the VXi, which comes at a hefty premium of over a lakh. It is also the entry-level option for the automatic powertrain for a premium of nearly a lakh and a half. The VXi trim also becomes the entry-level variant for those looking to buy the Ertiga CNG (priced almost a lakh over the VXi MT) . Let’s find out if it offers enough value over the base trim to justify the jump in prices:
| Variant |
1.5-litre MT |
1.5-litre AT |
| VXi |
Rs 9.49 lakh |
Rs 10.99 lakh |
| ZXi |
Rs 10.59 lakh |
Rs 12.09 lakh |
| Difference |
Rs 1.1 lakh |

Why consider the Ertiga VXi?
For those on a tight budget, this variant has all the essentials covered. Maruti has provided this variant of the MPV with a chrome front grille, body coloured door handles and ORVMs, and ORVM-mounted turn indicators. From this variant onwards, you also get features such as a basic music system with four speakers, keyless entry, paddle shifters (AT only), and second row AC vents. Safety has been beefed up as well with the inclusion of electronic stability programme and hill hold assist in the automatic variants.

Why skip the Ertiga VXi?
While the VXi trim does pack all the essential items over the base trim, there are some basic misses in the form of front fog lamps, rear washer, wiper, and defogger as well as a height-adjustable driver’s seat. So, if you want a more value for money package, go for the next trim: the ZXi.
