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.
