The Suzuki Ertiga- Spacious, fuel efficient and safe
The idea of the Ertiga is to be a spacious and versatile vehicle that would provide seven seats and ample cargo space, while retaining the agility, response and efficiency of a compact hatchback- and that is exactly what it is!
According to Suzuki, you can move around the city in the Ertiga like it’s a compact car, but once you get inside you’ll see that this it’s another level of spacious. With its three seating rows, the Ertiga can accommodate up to seven occupants, while the LUV’s (life utility vehicle) front-wheel drive layout allows a surprisingly generous interior, despite the vehicle’s compact footprint and wieldy character.
Based on the same platform as the Swift compact hatchback, the Ertiga brings class-leading standards of interior accommodation and cargo space to the small MPV segment, while maintaining high standards of engineering, design and quality. And with a 1,4 litre engine, this is one fuel efficient MPV. The value for money character of this newcomer to the Suzuki family is underscored by a claimed fuel consumption of only 6,6 l/100 km.
“The arrival of the Ertiga breaks new ground for Suzuki in South Africa,” says Francois van Eeden, Suzuki Auto SA’s national marketing manager. “The brand’s reputation for producing exceptional compact cars is already well established, and the Ertiga extends those virtues to the small MPV segment for the first time.”
With all three seating rows in position, the luggage compartment offers 135 litres of loading space. This increases to 482 litres when the third seating row is folded flat, while also folding down the second seat row increases cargo carrying capacity to 736 litres. The Ertiga also brings a high degree of active and passive safety measures across the entire model range (there are 5 different models to choose from).
There you have it! If you need a spacious car to fit your whole family or a versatile car for your business- the Ertiga is a favourable choice which offers fuel efficiency and premium safety on the go.
