Practical people movers: Suzuki Ertiga vs. Toyota Avanza

Practical people movers: Suzuki Ertiga vs. Toyota Avanza

If you think a sedan is too small for your family and an SUV is quite pricey for your budget, then an MPV might be the perfect choice for you. A multi-purpose vehicle is commonly used as a family vehicle because of the functional space that it offers.

Suzuki’s top contender in the MPV segment is the Suzuki Ertiga, which features a stylish exterior and a comfy interior. Its top trim is motivated by a 1.5-liter K15B engine that is mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. The engine delivers a maximum power output of 103hp at 6,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 138Nm at 4,400 rpm.

Since you're looking at MPVs, an alternative for this is the Toyota Avanza 1.3 E AT variant, and here we look at the trim nearest to the Ertiga's asking price.

It is powered by a 1.3-liter DOHC Dual-VVTi engine paired to a four-speed automatic transmission. It produces a power output of up to 95hp at 6,000 rpm and a torque of up to 121Nm at 4,200 rpm.

Both MPVs provide a roomy interior which makes them good choices for family transportation. The Suzuki Ertiga and Toyota Avanza are both installed with fabric seats. Since MPVs essentially provide wide luggage space, the rear seats of the two vehicles are both adjustable to expand the cargo area.

To heighten the occupant’s protection in case of a collision, the Suzuki Ertiga is engineered using ultra-high-tensile steel. It is also equipped with supplemental restraint system (SRS) front dual airbags. Since it is positioned to be a trusted family vehicle, the Ertiga is installed with Isofix child seat anchorages and tether anchorages.

As for Toyota Avanza, it provides SRS airbags for the driver and front passenger. It uses the same child restraint system as the Suzuki Ertiga.

To know more about these two MPVs, here are the specifications of Suzuki Ertiga GLX AT (Black Edition) and Toyota Avanza 1.3 E AT:
