Should You Buy Maruti Suzuki Ertiga VXI Instead of LXI?
Yes. it’s worth buying the Ertiga petrol’s VXI variant instead of the LXI variant. Here’s why:
While the additional features of the Ertiga VXI variant don’t justify the price jump over the LXI variant, the lack of certain must-have features forces us to recommend against buying the LXI variant. For example, the LXI variant doesn’t have the following important features:
- Rear AC vents
- Day/night inside mirror
- Music system
- Steering-mounted controls
- Remote for central locking
- Power mirrors
We can get some of these features from the aftermarket, but the lack of rear AC vents is something you shouldn’t take lightly - especially considering the size of the car. For a 7-seater, rear AC vents are a must-have feature. Even if you don’t want to spend more money, we strongly suggest you at least get the VXI variant of the Ertiga petrol.
