Set against the idyllic backdrop of Potchefstroom, we recently had the opportunity to experience Suzuki's newest offering: the Ertiga. A promising vehicle for families , the Ertiga promises space, sophistication, and manageable performance.
Design & Comfort
The new Ertiga's design ethos revolves around ergonomic sophistication. Its stylish exterior is accompanied by a spacious seven-seater interior, ensuring that both the driver and passengers travel in comfort. Highlighting its generous dimensions are its long wheelbase, high headroom, and ample legroom. The thoughtfully positioned seats, especially the foldable third row, offer flexible configurations catering to varied passenger and luggage needs. With a luggage capacity of 803 litres, weekend getaways are set to become a breeze.
Performance
Powered by a 1.5ℓ petrol engine delivering 77 kW and 138 Nm, the Ertiga doesn’t disappoint on the roads. Whether maneuvering through Potchefstroom's or cruising on the highway, the engine's responsiveness is sufficient for casual driving. Depending on individual preferences, there’s a choice between a 5-speed manual and a 4-speed automatic gearbox. The vehicle boasts a commendable CO2 emission rate starting at 146g/km, striking a balance between power and eco-friendliness.
Safety
Suzuki hasn't skimped on safety. The new-generation HEARTECT frame ensures efficient energy absorption and dispersion during collisions, enhancing passenger safety. This is further supplemented by 2 front airbags, ABS with EBD, and ultrasonic sensors at the rear (available in GA and GL models) to aid parking. Additionally, for those with little ones, ISOFIX-approved seat anchors are a thoughtful addition.
Infotainment & Utility
The Ertiga GL takes entertainment seriously. Featuring a 7-inch infotainment system, it supports smartphone connectivity and comes with a reverse camera. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto™, and Mirrorlink™ ensure that whether you're an iOS or Android user, your journey will be an entertaining one. Other handy features include a 2nd row air conditioning system, electric windows, smart side view mirrors (exclusive to GL models), and an array of storage spaces throughout the vehicle.
Drive Experience
Tthe Ertiga showcased balanced power and poise. Its aerodynamic shape not only adds to its visual appeal but also enhances fuel efficiency.

With the Ertiga, owners receive a 5-year/200,000 km promotional warranty, a 4-year/60,000 km service plan, and a commendable roadside assistance package.
