If you loved the styling of the all-new Suzuki Swift, and wondered what the Ertiga (including the Proton version) would look like if it adopted some of the hatchback’s design cues, here’s your answer. These renderings by RBA Design Studio depict just that, although a next-generation Ertiga isn’t expected to appear any time soon.
With the Swift’s face transplanted onto the Ertiga, the LED-headlamps, trapezoidal-shaped grille and U-shaped lower section are all here, with the latter hosting not just fog lamps but also LED positioning lights.
The “new” Ertiga continues to retain its familiar profile, although just like the hatchback, the C-pillar has been partly blacked out to create a “floating roof” look. A camera located on the underside of the wing mirrors is also seen here, along with new alloy wheels. As for the rear, the taillights have been restyled as two-piece units, and the chrome trim between them is removed.
Engine options will likely be expanded to include a D13A 1.3 litre DDiS turbodiesel paired with a SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki) system, which is being suggested for the current Ertiga sold in the Indonesian market. Petrol options will also be made available, with the new K10C 1.0L Boosterjet (102 PS/150 Nm) providing more power than the 1.4L K14B mill (92 PS/130 Nm).
Should the next-gen Ertiga continue to be based on the stretched Swift platform, it should also benefit from the weight-savings enjoyed by the hatchback in its latest iteration. What are your thoughts on these renderings of the next-generation Ertiga? Do you prefer it to the current model being sold by Proton here? Let us know in the comments section below.

So the trick is old generation proton take, and new proton ertiga basically a old car. Same story as the accord perdana. Doesnt matter if it sells, problem now is no one buying.
Sure..? Please join ertige fb group..
If look like this i’ll buy 10
Ady seen on road la, do you live in cave?
If P1 seriously want to be number 1 in M’sia, they should upgrade the current old re-badge ER3 with the latest engine like the D13A 1.3 litre DDiS turbodiesel paired with a SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki) system.
This is like telling M’sian that Suzuki have the technology & transmission BUT they are NOT giving U their Best. Kunta may say we are being used as a dumping ground.
Learn from history, jepunis overlord dun gip permission to change things easily
If not they potong their own kaparah
Damn, that actually looks surprisingly good ! Nice work RBA Studios, very professionally executed… looks like Theo has some competition now ! haha
So is proton waiting in the pipeline to rebadge this as well?
