Maruti Ertiga's 6 Month Waiting Period Highest Among MPVs In May 2019

Meanwhile, Lodgy, Marazzo and even the Innova Crysta are available on the spot in some cities

• Only buyers in Patna have a relatively short wait of 1 month for an Ertiga, while it’s 22 weeks or more in other cities.

• The longest wait for a new Innova Crysta -- which is readily available only in Bengaluru -- does not exceed 3 months.

• Lodgy has an average waiting time of 15 days but is readily available in 5 cities.

• Marazzo also readily available in 6 cities while highest wait time goes up to 45 days for Lucknow buyers.

There are various choices available for an MPV depending on the price -- whether it’s for less than Rs 10 lakh or double that. But how long would you have to wait to get delivery of the car you choose, be it a Maruti Suzuki Ertiga or Toyota Innova Crysta? To help, we’ve compiled a list of the various waiting times for the Ertiga, Lodgy, Marazzo and Innova Crysta across the following cities:

Note: The above mentioned data is only an approximation and the waiting period might differ depending on the variant, powertrain and colour chosen.

Maruti Suzuki Ertiga: The second-gen Ertiga MPV was launched near the end of 2018 and,  with an average waiting time of 6 months, it’s hard to get a new one. Only buyers in Patna, where the waiting period is around 1 month, can get an Ertiga sooner.

Renault Lodgy: As the Ertiga’s rival, the Lodgy would be a lot easier to get, at least in terms of waiting periods. Cities like Mumbai, Thane, Pune, Ahmedabad and Kolkata don’t have any waiting times while the average wait period in other cities is around 15 days. The longest wait is for buyers in Hyderabad, who’d have to wait 25 days to get delivery of a new Renault Lodgy MPV.

Mahindra Marazzo: The wait time to get a new Marazzo varies wildly. Those in Lucknow have the longest wait of 45 days while buyers in Delhi, Gurugram, Chandigarh, Kolkata, Patna and Faridabad can collect theirs on the same day as purchased. The Marazzo is expected to get a petrol engine and the option of an automatic transmission in 2020.

Toyota Innova Crysta: The premium MPV choice can be had sooner than a new Ertiga, with no city having a waiting period longer than 3 months for a new Innova Crysta. That long wait will have to be endured by buyers in Delhi, Chennai, Ghaziabad, Chandigarh and Coimbatore. Meanwhile, only those in Bengaluru can get one on the same day. The average wait time in the rest of the cities ranges between 20 to 45 days for a new Toyota Innova Crysta.
