Suzuki Ertiga Exterior

The 2nd-gen Suzuki Ertiga for the Philippine market has changed a lot from its previous version. It has a more modern-looking front fascia, and rear end, as well as a more contemporary-looking roofline.

All variants of the MPV come standard with a manual front air conditioner. However, only the top-spec Ertiga GL gets to benefit from rear manual air conditioners.

For safety, the Suzuki-made MPV comes standard with an anti-lock braking system with electronic brakeforce distribution, SRS airbags, ISOFIX tethers, and door beams for side impacts. Moreover, the GL variants also come with two parking sensors and a security alarm.

Platform & Chassis

The 2nd-gen Suzuki Ertiga for the Philippine market uses the new HEARTECT chassis. This new chassis was designed for safety and also provides a smooth, comfortable ride. 

Suspension-wise, the Ertiga uses a MacPherson strut type for the front, and a torsion beam rear suspension. For braking, the Suzuki model uses a front disc brake and a rear drum brake.

Suzuki Ertiga Engine & Drivetrain

Available colors for the Suzuki Ertiga Philippines are Magma Gray Metallic, Cool Black Pearl Metallic, Silky Silver Metallic, Brave Khaki Pearl, Snow White Pearl, Radiant Pearl Red, and Burgundy Red Pearl.

The Suzuki Ertiga leans onto the budget side of the MPV market so the lack of upscaled features is expected. It doesn't come with LED headlamps, leather seats, and cruise control even for the top-of-the-line GLX variant. These features are available in its rivals such as the Mitsubishi Xpander 2024 and Maxus G50. But for a starting price of Php 763,000, Filipino car buyers can now drive home a 7-seater vehicle that delivers the practicality and reliability one can expect from a Suzuki.
