Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, Baleno Get Price Hike Due to Standardization of Six Airbags

The move is in line with Maruti Suzuki’s plan to offer six airbags as a standard feature across its entire passenger vehicle range by the end of 2025. Other models that already offer six airbags across variants include the Alto K10, Celerio, WagonR, Eeco, Swift, Dzire, Brezza, Grand Vitara, Jimny and Invicto.

This update comes ahead of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) deadline mandating six airbags in all new passenger vehicles from October 2025. While the rule is yet to be enforced, manufacturers are updating their product lines in preparation for the regulation.
