Maruti Suzuki Ertiga Tour M — Price & Specs for Taxi Use

Ex-showroom is ₹10,82,440 for the S-CNG. With Delhi commercial registration, road tax, permit and commercial insurance, expect roughly ₹12.2–12.9 lakh on-road. Commercial road tax on a 7-seater is higher than on a 5-seater sedan, so budget the difference before comparing it against a Dzire Tour S.

It depends on the work. For pure city app-cab running, the Dzire earns nearly the same fare at a lower purchase price and better mileage. For outstation, airport and corporate work the Ertiga sits in a higher fare class and turns down far fewer bookings, which typically covers the extra EMI within the first year.

Very little. The CNG cylinder occupies most of the space behind the third row, so with all seven seats up you have room for a couple of soft bags at most. Operators doing airport runs generally fold the third row and sell it as a 5-seater with luggage, or fit a roof carrier.

Banks and NBFCs fund new commercial MUVs at 80–90% loan-to-value over 3–5 years, and the Ertiga is well-understood collateral so approval is usually straightforward with a permit and income proof. Maruti Commercial dealers have in-house tie-ups; compare their rate against your own bank, since the difference over five years is substantial.
