What the ZXi CNG MT costs on the road
The price above is ex-showroom. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the ZXi CNG MT comes to ₹12,55,060 on the road in Itanagar and ₹14,45,389 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹1,90,329 of what you pay for the identical car. Of the 25 states we can price this variant in, Arunachal Pradesh comes out lowest and Karnataka highest. You pay it where you live, so take this as a reason to check the quote you were given, not as a way to save money.
Comprehensive own-damage cover is on top of both figures: it has been market-priced since 2007 and moves with the insurer, the cover value and your no-claim bonus, so no honest single number exists for it. Budget for it from real quotes.

The full story
At ₹11.93L ex-showroom this is the seventh of 9 Ertiga variants by price, ₹29,000 above the ZXi+ Petrol Mild Hybrid MT. The same ZXi features start at ₹96,000 less as the ZXi Petrol Mild Hybrid MT; the extra here buys the CNG with the 5-speed manual. Worth a hard look before you sign: the cheapest ZXi+ actually costs ₹29,000 less than this variant and buys rear parking camera and wireless CarPlay / Android Auto among 6 additions. Worth knowing that the ZXi+ is not sold with the CNG with the 5-speed manual, so the move changes the powertrain too.

Maruti Suzuki Ertiga ZXi: the questions people ask
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.
- What is the price of the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga ZXi CNG MT?
- ₹11.93L, ex-showroom. That makes it 7th of 9 by price, ₹29,000 above the ZXi+ Petrol Mild Hybrid MT.
- What is the on-road price of the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga ZXi CNG MT?
- Expect ₹12,55,060 in Itanagar and ₹14,45,389 in Bengaluru. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹1,90,329 more at one end of the country than the other. That is the ex-showroom price plus road tax, registration and the rest of the charges, across the 25 states we have verified. It does not include comprehensive own-damage cover, which every insurer prices differently.
- Which engine and gearbox does the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga ZXi CNG MT have?
- The CNG, 88 PS, with the 5-speed manual.
- What features does the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga ZXi CNG MT get?
- The features worth naming on this trim: Touchscreen (7"), Connected car tech, Auto climate (single zone), Wired CarPlay / Android Auto, Wheel type (Alloy) and Speakers (4).
- What does the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga ZXi CNG MT miss out on?
- The ZXi+ above it adds rear parking camera, wireless CarPlay / Android Auto, speakers (6 against 4), cruise control and 2 more, for ₹29,000 less. That is a different engine or gearbox though: the ZXi+ is not sold with this one.
- Is the ZXi the right Ertiga to buy?
- That depends on where the value sits across the whole range rather than on this trim alone, and we work it out variant by variant on our Maruti Suzuki Ertiga which-variant page. The short answer: pay for a step only where the features it adds are ones you would actually use.
