Maruti Suzuki is taking the Ertiga MPV one step further with the refreshed model for 2022. It comes with changes from the front to the back including under the hood where a new hybrid powertrain is seated.
2022 Suzuki Ertiga
Let’s take a look at what the 2022 Suzuki Ertiga can bring to car buyers, especially to the Indian market where the 7-seater family vehicle is an important model in the brand’s lineup.
Exterior
One can say that the 2022 Suzuki Ertiga is still a familiar sight. However, there are a few differences that separate the new model from the outgoing version. The refreshed Ertiga gets a redesigned grille named the Dynamic Chrome Winged Grille, new 15-inch alloy wheels, and a chrome strip on the tailgate.
The refreshed version gets a few aesthetic upgrades
Included in the color options are Prime Oxford Blue, Pearl Metallic Arctic White, Splendid Silver, Auburn Red, Magma Red, and Pearl Metallic Dignity Brown.
Interior
Moving to the cabin, the new Ertiga has dual-tone fabric seats with wooden trims on the door panels and dashboard. Both the second and third-row seats can be folded down to improve the cargo room, allowing more items to be hauled. This is an important feature for a vehicle like the Ertiga which maximizes space.
Interior of the new Ertiga
An air-cooled twin cup holder is fitted to keep beverages cold on the go, while second-row roof-mounted A/C vents are installed for the convenience of the rear passengers. Additionally, paddle shifters are now added for the new 6-speed automatic transmission which we’ll talk about more in a second.
Tech & Safety
The center console contains the new 7-inch SmartPlay Pro infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It sends audio to a 4-speaker system including two tweeters. Moreover, the system gets the ‘Suzuki Connect’, which offers various improved connectivity features such as Stolen Vehicle Notification, Valet Alert, and Vehicle Location Sharing.
New 7-inch head unit
Safety-wise, the refreshed MPV is available with four SRS airbags, ABS with EBD and Brake Assist, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), speed-sensing door locks, engine immobilizer, hill hold, rear parking camera, rear parking sensors, and the Suzuki Heartect Platform.
Engine & Drivetrain
As our previous report states, the 2022 Suzuki Ertiga is powered by a new 1.5-liter K15C Smart Hybrid engine with 102 horsepower and 137 Nm of torque. It is connected to either a 6-speed automatic transmission that uses a traditional torque converter with paddle shifters or 5-speed manual transmission.
The MPV boasts a new hybrid powertrain
Maruti Suzuki claims that the new hybrid powertrain is capable of giving 20.3 km/l for the variants with the 6-speed auto gearbox. Meanwhile, the company said that the MT variants deliver a slightly better fuel consumption rating at 20.5 km/l.
Pricing
The refreshed 2022 Suzuki Ertiga starts at 835,000 India Rupees (or around Php 572,000) and goes up to 1,279,000 Indian Rupees (or Php 876,000) for the Indian market. As of this writing, Suzuki Philippines hasn’t put out a word as to when it plans to launch the refreshed Ertiga.

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.
