The Suzuki Ertiga will get a diesel variant in Indonesia, and the oil burner will launch in early 2017, reports from the republic indicate. So far, a 1.4 litre petrol version is the only one available in Indonesia, the same one exported to Malaysia as the Proton Ertiga.
The diesel engine in question is a D13A 1.3 litre DDiS turbodiesel paired with a SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki) system. Now, this isn’t a full-fledged hybrid system like the one offered by Toyota, but an inexpensive mild hybrid system that has auto start-stop, regenerative braking, a bigger battery and an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) in place of a regular alternator. The latter assists the diesel engine in acceleration.
The Ertiga Diesel with SHVS is paired to a five-speed manual gearbox. It makes 90 PS and 200 Nm, which should translate to significantly better performance than the petrol Ertiga. In India, the Ertiga Diesel’s fuel consumption is rated at 24.52 km/l in the local cycle. Indonesia will import the model CBU from India.
Will there be a market for a Proton Ertiga Diesel in Malaysia?

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Proton can import the diesel version,makes no difference.Just to make hardcore fanboys happy.
By Dec 31,Protong is staring at another poor sales figure for 2016….<75000 units.
How on earth,can the authority release a RM1.5 BILLION BAILOUT package,and the results…STAGGERING ,CONTINUAL LOSSES.
wHICH STUPID BUSINESSMAN will continue this
business,bleeding and bleeding non stop?
Even a kacang putih seller,knows how to exit this business SWIFTLY.
By the time,the white knight is identified….another BAILOUT OF AT least Rm 2 Billion is needed.
How can the rakyat tolerate this any longer?
It is pure insanity.PROTONG…THE ROGUE ONE.
LOL, this is SUZUKI bro.
Proton getting better, even Daihatsu & Suzuki getting hard time competing P1 safety
Hope proton bring it to mamaysia with good price please
Dear Karam
How can proton get better by just getting a rebadge job done?Even a chimp can do rebadging.
U mean,Suzuki give the ertiga diesel version to u free of charge? The development cost easily rm150- 200 juta.
NOTHING IS FREE.
Time to license that powertrain and shove it into the Preve, but paired to Suzuki’s 6-speed auto gearbox instead of a manual tranny. That should immediately fix most of the shortcomings of the otherwise excellent platform.
Nay. Bored it and stroked it to 1.8L, then add turbo and shove it into Suprima. Golf GTIs wun dare compete.
Any increase in the torque department for this Ertiga is a welcome bonus. In Diesel form, it makes 200 Nm, which should translate to significantly better performance than the petrol brethren. This will translate to better pulling power which is lacking in the 1.4 petrol engine.
While preve turbo is only a tip over at 210Nm. Hell yeah!!
210NM due to cvt. You change to manual transmission, you can easily tuned to 350NM.
There is no place for Ertiga Diesel, but that won’t stop Proton from introducing it into the Malaysian market.
Plenty of diesel vehicles on the road, all stations have diesel (Er3 shud be Euro2), more mileage for the money. So why’s there no place for a diesel vehicle here?
Because Proton people dont know how to fix a diesel car. 1 example. We used to have Wira 2.0D in the past costing RM50k+ brand new. It was just selling for a short while then discontinued. Now you and I dont even see 1 on the road.
Keep on making loss & stupid low sales cars like a fool.
Malaysia will most probably not getting any advance tech that other country have. This apply to all car brand. We live in a country where the technologies are 10 years left behind from other country. Thats why we see people that are using Honda City or Toyota Vios in Malaysia acting like they have the most expensive car in the world. Wheres in Indonesia, they are using the car as taxi. What a shame.
Yup. Just at 5 series and the E class are taxis in Europe. They’re not good cars. They’re just good for taxis like City and Vios. #ohthesarcasm
Hopefully can run our B10 when it arrives. That’s a mighty small battery… help starts the engine from a full stop… same concept as the Nissan Serena Hybrid I guess.
this car really looks budget… one look u know this is not a chic magnet car.
more choices for new families. good. they will upgrade later.
gimme back my ESC first
