Cost per kilometre is the entire brief of the Ertiga Tour, and its CNG variant delivers the segment's core number: 26.08 km/kg claimed, roughly ₹3.3 per km at pump prices (indicative), across seven fare-paying seats. This is the commercial-duty version of India's default MPV, pared to two variants — K15C petrol (105 PS, 18.04 kmpl) and K15C CNG (92 PS) — both with the 5-speed manual that fleet mechanics know blindfolded, priced tightly at ₹9.68-10.59 lakh.

The spec sheet reads like an operator's checklist rather than a family brochure: rear parking sensors, keyless entry, a four-speaker Bluetooth system, 60:40 second row and a 50:50 reclining third row, with 185 mm of clearance and a 209-litre boot behind the third row. It ranks 4th cheapest of the 18 MUVs listed. The private-market Ertiga (from ₹8.85 lakh) offers more trim choice and more equipment for personal buyers; the Tour exists for the buyer who measures a car in rupees per km and uptime, and on those measures very little at this price competes.

Ertiga Tour vs Maruti Suzuki Ertiga: From ₹8.85 lakh — the private-buyer version with more trims and kit; the Tour is its work-uniform twin See the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga.
Ertiga Tour vs Kia Carens: From ₹11.02 lakh with petrol, CNG and diesel — plusher and pricier, aimed at families not fleets See the Kia Carens.
Ertiga Tour vs Maruti Suzuki XL6: From ₹11.57 lakh, 26.32 km/kg CNG best — the six-seat premium take on the same platform See the Maruti Suzuki XL6.
For commercial people-moving, the Ertiga Tour CNG is close to unarguable: the lowest realistic per-seat running cost, the widest repair network, and a resale market that actively seeks these vehicles. The petrol variant makes sense only where CNG infrastructure is absent. Buy the CNG, fit seat covers, and put it to work — this is a tool whose spec was decided by spreadsheets, and the spreadsheets were right.
The Tour is the fleet-oriented spec: just two variants (petrol and CNG, both 5-speed manual) with function-first equipment, priced ₹9.68-10.59 lakh. The regular Ertiga starts lower at ₹8.85 lakh with more trim levels for private buyers.
At claimed figures — 26.08 km/kg CNG versus 18.04 kmpl petrol — the CNG saves roughly ₹2.5/km (indicative). Over 5,000 km/month that is around ₹1.2 lakh a year.
Yes — 92 PS/122 Nm on CNG versus 105 PS/138 Nm on petrol. With seven aboard the difference is noticeable on inclines but acceptable at commercial duty speeds.
Yes — the tank occupies boot space (the 209-litre figure shrinks further), not seating. Luggage capacity with a full house is the real constraint on airport duty.
No — both variants are 5-speed manual only. Operators needing an AT should look at the Toyota Rumion's petrol 6-speed automatic.
