2018 Proton Ertiga Xtra revealed for Malaysia – three variants offered, updated kit list, price from RM57k

During the prize presentation ceremony of the final round of the Proton 1-Tank Adventure, the first national carmaker also revealed an updated version of its six-seat Ertiga MPV called the Ertiga Xtra.

The Ertiga Xtra will be available in three variants as before, starting with the Executive MT priced at RM56,773 on-the-road without insurance. Next up is the Executive AT at RM59,525 followed by the range-topping Premium AT for RM62,278.

The last variant replaces the previous Executive Plus AT, and compared to the previous line-up of Ertiga variants, the Ertiga Xtra range costs around RM3,000 more per variant than before.

Updates on the Ertiga Xtra are limited to the interior, where there is now a darker shade of brown for the fabric seats. The previous 2-DIN head unit has also been replaced with a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system on all variants, although only the Premium gets a navigation function.

Beyond those changes, the rest of the kit list appears to be unchanged from before. All variants come fitted with 15-inch alloy wheels (wrapped with 185/65 profile tyres), halogen headlamps, front fog lamps, manual air-conditioning with rear vents and four speakers (Premium still gets two extra tweeters).

Safety-wise, all variants get dual front airbags, ABS with EBD and ISOFIX child seat anchors on the second row. Electronic stability control remains unavailable as before.

The powerplant remains the same too, with the 1.4 litre litre naturally-aspirated DOHC VVT petrol engine that makes 91 hp at 6,000 rpm and 130 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. Depending on the selected variant, you’ll either get a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission.

      Such a disgrace. Our own National car company cannot give us VSC.

      VSC was made compulsory by law in the whole of EU more than 10 years ago. This is because VSC is so important. It is like a car not having safety belts. Wajib to have safety belts and VSC

      Pity Malaysians kena tipu over and over again.

      And yet, the same car in Japan has VSC and more than 6 airbags as standard.

      Looks like Proton is taking our lives for granted and not demanding VSC and minimum 6 airbags

      I don’t know why the management of Proton cannot ask Suzuki why the Ertiga in Japan got more than 2 airbags and VSC but the Ertiga in Malaysia got no VSC

      Looks like our highly paid CEOs and management in Proton don’t know how to demand safety from the Japanese.

      After all PRoton is paying few hundred million ringgit in royalty to Suzuki. Money which comes from the rakyat.

        What nonsense are you talking about? Not to back up Proton, but here are my thoughts:

        First, Ertiga was never sold in Japan, it is Asean products, much more alike Toyota Avanza, Innova, first gen Fortuner and its equivalent Hilux brother are never sold in Japan. Ertiga is either made in Indonesia or India, only the badge is from Japan.

        Second, Ertiga never have installed any type of stability control. Even the Suzuki/Maruti Ertiga and the Mazda VX-1 does not equipped with VSC.

        Third, due to the platform of Ertiga, VSC can not be installed due to high modification cost which makes it unsuitable for its class and price range.

        This model was meant to be an alternative to those who wants an MPV, but does not want to purchase the bigger Exora. So installing VSC on a cheap car then bump up the price above the bigger Exora to cover up the modification cost is not really worth it.

        If you want to talk about VSC, list of vehicles that are still being sold even though doesn’t have VSC includes Perodua Alza, Toyota Avanza, Nissan Grand Livina, and Nissan X-Gear. The Alza and the latter twin are overdue for replacement, but the Avanza? VSC on the Avanza is optional but Malaysian model doesn’t equipped with forementioned safety system. Other vehicle sold in Malaysia may or may not have VSC too due to the inadequate vehicle data from the manufacturer and salesperson.

          Ýup, he should be asking Suzuki to come back to Malaysia first and then PROMISE to buy more Suzuki cars. Otherwise, they won’t come back if they can only sell a handful of cars. Doesn’t make economic sense. We all want to see many brands here but we do not have the courage to give them a chance, always say neighbouring countries have this and that but when those brands come here, we stick to only Toyota and Honda and Perodua. Support those small, seemingly weak brands with seemingly weak aftersales. Only with support by buying more of their cars can they build up their network and aftersales strength and give back to customers. If you want more brands here, stop being so skeptical and start buying those brands products. Otherwise, just be content with whatever is sold here now

      Proton has no choice. No more collaboration with Suzuki. Hmm I thought you should know this already since you’re reading in this site. No more collaboration with Honda also and here’s another thing; BOTH Suzuki and Honda do not allow Proton to give you better cars. Proton is not allowed to develop and equip it with ESC, not allowed to develop with other features that would make those cars more current and in keeping with Proton’s own developed models. Just saying so that you guys know more of the story instead of blindly making remarks. As fr the Campro, well, wait for it. Geely will make changes but those can’t happen over night

    Speaking of national car, I think Malaysia must be the only country in the world where there are 3 gov backed national car brands… Other countries, even if they do have, usually 1 brand only.

    Even China…their car brands are pte and not gov supported.

      You can’t expect overnight changes…it just doesn’t work that way. Change will come and there are many phases. Just wait. You’ll see those changes but not now. To be realistic, to put in place new systems, new lines for new products takes time. So does new procurement and testing systems etc. Doesn’t happen with a magic wand or a snap of fingers. So do keep your thoughts open on this and try at best not to be so shallow please.

    I admit that Ertiga is a good car. IMHO, better than Alza or even BRV in terms of driving experience as a compact MPV. BUT, it is an old rebadged car, missing a lot of new technologies and feature. I’d wait for Geely’s era.
