The Maruti Ertiga was the fifth best-selling car and the top-selling seven-seater last month. On a month-on-month (MoM) basis, this seven-seater has seen a dip in sales, but the figures are similar on a year-on-year (YoY) basis.
The Maruti Ertiga is currently priced between Rs. 10.34 lakh and Rs. 15.38 lakh (on-road, Mumbai). At this price, it is one of the most budget-friendly yet spacious seven-seaters you can buy. Moreover, a fair chunk of Ertiga’s sales also comes via the commercial vehicle segment.
