The Suzuki Ertiga is a series of multi-purpose vehicles (MPV) manufactured by the Japanese carmaker Suzuki since the year 2012. The first-generation model is heavily based on the Swift while the second-generation model introduced in 2018 is made larger and based on the HEARTECT platform. A crossover-styled version was introduced in 2019 as a separate model called the Suzuki XL6 in India and Suzuki XL7 for worldwide markets. The largest markets for the Ertiga are India and Indonesia, where the model is mainly manufactured. The vehicle has also been exported to other South Asian and Southeast Asian markets, along with several markets in Africa, Middle East, Pacific Islands, Caribbean and Latin America.
The Ertiga has been rebadged by various carmakers throughout its history. The first-generation model was sold in Indonesia through Mazda dealership network by an OEM agreement as the Mazda VX-1 from 2013 until 2017, and was assembled and sold in Malaysia by Proton as the Proton Ertiga from 2016 until 2019. The second-generation model is also sold by Toyota as the Toyota Rumion since 2021.
The name "Ertiga" is coined from "R-tiga", a pronunciation of "R3" in Indonesian where "tiga" means "three" while "R" stands for "row", referencing its three-row seating capacity.
The Ertiga was previewed by the R-III (R3) concept car showcased by Maruti Suzuki at the 2010 Auto Expo. The production version of the car was unveiled at the 11th Auto Expo in New Delhi on 6 January 2012. It was launched in India on 12 April 2012[1] and in Indonesia on 22 April 2012.[2] It became available in South Africa on 9 June 2014 and in the Philippines on 17 July 2014. Its development was led by chief engineer Toshikatsu Hibi. Maruti Suzuki proclaims it to be the first LUV (Life Utility Vehicle).
The first generation Ertiga is built on the Swift subcompact car platform. It was rebadged in Indonesia as the Mazda VX-1 from May 2013 until March 2017, and also assembled and sold in Malaysia as the Proton Ertiga, from November 2016 until August 2019. In its lifespan, the VX-1 only sold 1,640 units.[3]
Markets
India
According to Maruti Suzuki, the Indian Ertiga was designed specifically for Indian consumers, unlike the other Maruti models which were designed for the global market.[4][5] Maruti has marketed it as a "Life Utility Vehicle".[6] 11,000 of these vehicles were ordered in India within five days.[7][8]
In India, the Ertiga is available in both the alternatives of diesel and petrol variants. Though both of these engines were also seen doing duties earlier in various models, they are tweaked and retuned specifically for the car to provide fitting performance figures for its customers. The diesel variant is available in VDi, ZDi and ZDi+ 1.5 grade levels, while the petrol variant is available in LXi, VXi ZXi and ZXi+ grade levels.
In June 2013, Maruti Suzuki added its Ertiga models[9] with compressed natural gas (CNG). The Ertiga LXi and VXi have original factory converter kit and are provided with i-GPI (intelligent Gas Port Injection) which Maruti Suzuki claimed will achieve 22.8 km/L (64 mpg‑imp; 54 mpg‑US) premium-equivalent.[10]
Indonesia
The Indonesian market Ertiga is available in GA, GL and GX grade levels. Earlier models are only available with 5-speed manual transmission. On 29 January 2013, the GL and GX grades received chrome front grille and double blower air conditioner. The 4-speed automatic transmission is available for GL and GX grades from 17 May 2013.
At the 20th Indonesia International Motor Show in September 2012, three new concepts in the Ertiga's form are introduced, the Sporty, Luxury and Crossover version, which are actually Ertigas heavily modified into concept cars. The normal version, in this case the GX grade, also appeared. The Elegant version of the GX grade is available from August 2013. The Sporty was launched on 19 February 2014, which is based on the GL grade with a different front fascia and sporty body kit.
The Ertiga sold 109,461 units in two years, with selling record over Toyota Avanza in one year.[11] The Ertiga is also offered in diesel variant, which is imported from India and only comes in manual transmission option.[12][13]
Facelift
On 20 August 2015, the facelifted Ertiga was launched at the 23rd Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show. Changes consist of a wider grille, redesigned bumpers for all grades and a new trunk garnish exclusive to the GL and GX grades. The facelifted Ertiga was launched in India on 16 October 2015. Along with the diesel variants of the facelifted Ertiga comes with mild hybrid technology by Suzuki called as SHVS or Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki.
