Suzuki Ertiga 1.4 GLX AT vs Toyota Innova J 2.5 Diesel MT

[NormanABates]

Way better how? As far as the Innova's advantages are concerned, it has a diesel which means a lot more torque, has more space, has taller higher. But the Ertiga is also better than the Innova at other things, namely: 1) it's a lot lighter and more fuel efficient. 2) more comfortable and refined ride. 3) smaller chassis and far smaller turning radius means it's much more maneuverable than the Innova.

Both cars have their compromises as not everyone wants to drive around something as large and clunky as the Innova, but still want 7 seats. Given OP's needs though, I'd recommend the Innova because it's frame-on-ladder/pick-up platform means it ideal for carrying around heavier loads which I assume will be common for business. If you only need the 3rd row seats every other day and/or you want something that's more efficient and easier to drive, the Ertiga would be a better buy.

basically, car will be used for kids service to school, family car every weekends going to mall or trip out of town every 2-3 months, can transport dogs(in dog crates for dog shows) and can load a bike(mtb and rb) at the back in high altitude places(sn mateo rizal, pililia rizal almost every weekend, baguio-2-4x/yr), sagada- at least maybe 1x/yr).

I appreciate your reply and sorry for hijacking this thread.

Innova? Clunky? I don't think so.

can load a bike(mtb and rb), baguio-2-4x/yr)

heto din nga pala, kasya ba yung MTB with the front tire dismounted and 1 folded folding bike sa loob ng ertiga if the 2nd and 3rd seat are folded? how about sa Innova? sa crosswind kasi pwede

And with the 1.4 engine of the ertiga, kaya ba umakyat ng baguio with 4 adults and three kids, syempre may mga gamit pa? Sa Innova, I think kayang kaya ito.

may kakilala ako around 300kgs (supplies) sakay ng ertiga niya napatakbo pa ng 180kph sa SCTEX. A/T pa... Manila to Bataan ang biyahe nya almost 2x week. so far wala pa naman syang issue na nabanggit sa amin. yung iba naman naakyat na ng sagada unit nila.

kung cakes and pastries ang business nyo, i suggest ertiga na. nakaakyat naman ng baguio (via kennon) at mt. samat yung sa akin (GL M/T).

the usual issues. may pumapasok na amoy nung una. in-adjust lang yung vent. so far nawala naman. moist headlight dun sa iba, napa warranty naman.

kung installment mo kukunin, i suggest upgrade ka na agad ng HU para kasama na sa TCP mo. konti lang naman difference. alam ko sa GLX eh naka foglamps at central lock na.

i suggest test drive ka sir para mas ma feel mo yung ride and comfort.

sir, you can refer to this review.... bago ko nag decide na mag ertiga binasa ko din ito.

Salamat sir skyglider. So kayang kaya naman pala ang Baguio.

Anong klaseng amoy yung pumapasok sir? amoy gas?

Regarding the HU, anong features ng upgraded HU? Way better ba dun sa stock ng GLX?

Gusto ko nga din mag test drive ng unit, problema lang wala daw test drive unit yung dealer dito sa pampanga .

[skyglider]

yung madaanan mo sir, halimbawa may nagsusunog ng ipa or gulong. sa case ko malapit sa creek. or may smoke belcher sa harapan mo. pina adjust ko lang yung vent. yung iba totally pina close nila. alam ko issue din sa livina before yun.

nung bago nga parang maasim yung amoy ng aircon pero eventually nawala naman.

stock HU kasi eh hindi touchscreen. wala pang aux. not sure lang ako sa GLX ha. GL kasi yung sa akin. pero supported naman ang ipad at iphone .

Sa mga comment na "kaya naman pala ang Baguio"ako natatawa. Overrated masyado ang Baguio via Kennon.

Ah ganon ba sir, pasensya na sir kung natatawa kayo dun.

Usually kasi is patag lang naman ang normal route, and Baguio is usually a common summer destination. Kaya isa usually sa kinokonsider ito.

Anyways, if this is overrated, pagpasensyahan mo na sir.

ok lang yun sir...

si dusky ko nga gusto ko i-try yung ligaya drive (talisay-tagaytay) road. mas maiksi nga lang compare to kennon. alam ko meron pang mas matarik na daan kaya lang nga di ko pa naakyat.

hintayin mo kaya sir yung innova 2016. mukhang mas maganda.
