It is the top-spec trim if you are planning to buy the MPV with the optional CNG kit
The Maruti Ertiga’s second-to-top ZXi trim is the only variant, along with the VXi, which comes with a CNG kit option. It continues to be offered with the choice of both manual and automatic gearboxes while commanding a premium of around a lakh over the VXi and adding more features to its list. Let’s find out if this is the right variant for you:

Why consider the Ertiga ZXi?
The Ertiga ZXi looks the same as the top-spec ZXi+ inside and out. Maruti has added a bunch of functional features to this trim including a touchscreen system, keyless entry, and auto AC. Even connected car tech is available from this trim onwards. In terms of safety, it gets a small addition in the form of height-adjustable seatbelts. All of these features make it our most recommended variant.

Why skip the Ertiga ZXi?
Although the ZXi is the most value-packed trim of the Maruti MPV, it doesn’t get the additional safety features such as the two side airbags and electronic stability programme. It even misses out on auto-headlights, cruise control, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. If you want these amenities in your Ertiga, it’s better to go for the top-spec ZXi+ trim.

Verdict |
| Gets the basics but worth upgrading to VXi if you want a more feature-loaded entry variant |
|
| Offered with all the essential features for those on a tight budget |
|
| ZXi |
Our recommended variant as it is the most value-packed offering of the MPV |
| Only upgrade if you want a beefier safety net which includes two additional airbags and a reversing camera |
