Buy Sell Taxi Team·7 April 2026·6 min read

The Maruti Ertiga is Delhi's favourite 7-seater family cab and corporate shuttle. Here is a complete guide to buying a used Ertiga for taxi use in 2026.

The Maruti Ertiga sits in the sweet spot between the smaller Eeco and the premium Innova. At 7 seats, comfortable legroom, and excellent CNG mileage, the Ertiga is the vehicle of choice for school runs, corporate shuttles, family outings, and outstation tour operations from Delhi.

Used Maruti Ertiga Taxi Prices in Delhi (2026)

  • 2013–2015 Ertiga petrol/CNG: ₹3.0–4.5 lakh — older model, check engine carefully
  • 2016–2018 Ertiga CNG/diesel: ₹4.5–7.0 lakh — best value range for taxi use
  • 2019–2021 Ertiga CNG (new model): ₹6.5–9.5 lakh — S-CNG factory fitted, excellent mileage
  • 2022–2023 Ertiga CNG: ₹9.5–12 lakh — near new, latest safety features

CNG Ertiga vs Diesel Ertiga – Which is Better for Delhi?

For pure Delhi city operations: CNG Ertiga wins clearly. Running cost ₹3.5–4.5 per km vs ₹6–7.5 for diesel. Monthly savings: ₹8,000–₹12,000. For outstation routes (Delhi–Jaipur, Delhi–Agra): diesel gives better highway performance and range. Most Delhi operators prefer CNG Ertiga unless 60%+ of business is outstation.

Key Checks Before Buying a Used Ertiga Taxi in Delhi

  3. AC performance — both rows must cool effectively
  4. Power sliding door (on higher variants) — check for smooth operation
  5. Check chassis for any accident history (gap between doors, paint mismatch)
  6. Commercial documents: RC, fitness, permit, insurance all current
