Suzuki says it plans to introduce the Ertiga compact MPV in Indonesia in the near future, with the aim of taking its annual sales volume to 100,000 units. Last year, the Japanese automaker sold 91,000 vehicles in the country.
The Ertiga, which debuted at the Delhi Auto Expo in January in its Maruti Suzuki form, will thus be sold in both Indian and Indonesian markets, with vehicles for the latter market being produced in Indonesia, quite likely from CKD kits prepared in India.
The 4.2 metre-long seven-seater will be offered in two engine variant guises, a 1.4 litre gasoline and a 1.3 litre diesel, with pricing to be announced at a later point, presumably at launch. Suzuki is aiming to make its large seating capacity, coupled with its compact size and frugally-sized engine, the main selling points for the vehicle.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
why i having a feeling that this car look like sibling of Avanza..
GOOD BYE UGLY ALZA…
Don’t mean to be rude, how come Indonesia can enjoy diesel MPV and not Malaysia? Is Indonesian’s diesel better than ours?
i read in a few Indonesian websites & blogs that the diesel variant only available in India market & not available in Indonesia market.
isn’t the engine too small? or is it turbo-charged?
my guess is the 1.3 diesel shud be turbodiesel….bring it here pls, or is our diesel quality are waaayyy behind compared to Indon??
er = R
tiga = 3
R3 ??
ERTIGA = Ultraman Tiga
Hmm.. actually it doesn’t look too bad, although I won’t called it a beauty.
Is the 1.4L shared with the current new Swift? The engine was boo-ed for being a downgrade from the 1.5L that powered the prev gen Swift, although refinement was said to be better now. But power dropped becos of its smaller capacity…
95hp is very little by today’s standards…
Its far better looking than the POS Toyota Avanza… Trying to build a 7 seater from a small delivery van chassis and power it with tiny engines is a sure way to damage your badge Toyota…:(
avanza quite fast le …. both 1.3 and 1.5.
Waiting it to be CKD in Malaysia and be a competition to Alza, Exora and Avanza. CKD in Malaysia Auto transmission well below RM70k?
at India this car is built as Avanza’s competitor..
i dont think it will be underpower even 1.4 l gasoline engine coz it is a suzuki after all. Unless it has tiger badge, then it is underpower :-). Tiger badge is too heavy n its a burden by the way.
sarcasm at its best eh
copying proton Artiga name..:)
artiga – for 3 person only?
“Nama suzuki ertiga diadopsi dari bahasa Indonesia mobil konsep Ertiga ini mempunyai nama R3 (R III) yang berarti Row 3 atau tiga baris yang kemudian di launcing dengan nama Er (R) tiga (3)”…more info @ http://kikimiqbalsoft.blogspot.com/2012/02/suzuki-ertiga-memenangkan-persaingan.html
looks like Malaysia also part of the third world country targeted for these kind of vehicles
this is all rubbish… why suzuki always ruin their car design, stop spoiling swift design, I hate it
Suzuki Ertiga will beat the Toyota Avanza and Daihatsu Xenia in Indonesia :)
When automatic transmission be available for Ertiga ?
