The Suzuki Ertiga Hybrid is priced from P954,000 to P1.178 million.Earlier this year, Suzuki Philippines Incorporated launched the latest iteration of the Ertiga, which is now powered by a hybrid system.
Let’s take a look at the upgrades incorporated on the Ertiga Hybrid and see how much better it is versus its predecessor.
Exterior
While the old Ertiga may not have the flashiest exterior design, it exudes a classic and timeless appeal. With its clean lines and understated elegance, this MPV maintains a low profile while still commanding attention on the road.
On the other hand, the new Ertiga Hybrid features a modern grille, a tailgate with chrome accent, and a “Hybrid” badge on the rear. It is also designed with an aerodynamic roofline and a long shoulder line that give a flowing impression from the side.
Interior
Inside the cabin of the old Ertiga, you will find a well-thought-out layout that prioritizes comfort and functionality. The seats offer ample legroom and headspace, ensuring a pleasant experience for both the driver and passengers. The infotainment system, although not the most advanced, provides essential features for entertainment and connectivity on the go.
Meanwhile, the new Ertiga Hybrid is equipped with a D-shaped steering wheel with premium design accents, cruise control, and audio system controls. It also comes with a more modern 10-inch infotainment touchscreen with Smartlink connectivity.
Powertrain
The old Ertiga is powered by a 1.5-liter K15B engine that produces up to 103 horsepower (ho) and 138 Newton-meters (Nm) of torque. This engine is mated to either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission, depending on the variant.
On the other hand, the new Ertiga is driven by a hybrid system composed of a 1.5-liter petrol engine and an integrated starter generator that takes the role of the traditional alternator in charging the battery and electric motor, while assisting with standing starts and acceleration. Just like its predecessor, the Ertiga Hybrid is available in five-speed manual and four-speed automatic variants.
Verdict
The Suzuki Ertiga Hybrid offers a significant upgrade over the previous model in terms of design, comfort, and fuel efficiency. Whether you are a practical family-oriented buyer or someone who appreciates a stylish and well-equipped vehicle, the Ertiga Hybrid is definitely worth considering.
Pricing for the Ertiga Hybrid ranges from P954,000-P1.178 million.
