If you’re planning on getting a brand-new Suzuki model sometime in the coming months, then be aware that the said Japanese brand has recently increased the prices on a majority of its models.
All variants of the Suzuki Ertiga saw an increase in price
These include both variants of the APV, all variants of the Carry, the XL7, and all three trims of the Ertiga MPV. Of note, the marque has dropped the entry-level S-Presso variant, the one with the steelies, and increased the prices of the S-Presso GL with Alloy wheels and the Special Edition variant.
For you convenience, here is a table of the Suzuki Philippines’ latest price changes:

No price increase for the likes of the Swift, Jimny, and Dzire though
Also, note that the Suzuki Dzire, Jimny, and Swift had seen no price changes for their trims. Suzuki Philippines is also yet to disclose the reason for these price adjustments, but if we had to guess, it might have to do with how global business is doing right now.
Meanwhile, Suzuki Philippines has also dropped the Vitara from its current model lineup.
