It seems to look better than both the Chevy Spin and Toyota Avanza.

Good job Suzuki!

ganda ha meron na ba sa mga dealership?

Good job Suzuki!

I've seen and sat inside the Ertiga already (no test drives before the launching in July, though)... I think this one will actually give the Avanza a run for its money. At 600k, it's a steal... fantastic legroom in five-seater mode, good legroom in seven-seater mode, and the interior is decent enough, especially at the price.

Niky, does the locally released GA variant have dual airconditioning? In India, the GA only has single a/c, similar to the base variant APV.

I believe it's single. Only had a brief time with the cars. Also, no headrests in 2nd and 3rd row. I was talking with the marketing guys... no headrests in the 3rd row might be okay with buyers, but the second row... that's iffy.

Still, I liked what I saw. Definitely a hell of a better deal than the Dzire, especially considering the increase in legroom! Can't wait to have a drive in one!

was the interior beige sir?

[psychdelicmervs]

Is this model being displayed already in Suzuki showrooms?

[niky]

was the interior beige sir?

Yup. It was.

Sa Suzuki Sucat may naka display na color red. Last week color white. Just waiting a text from SA to test drive hopefully this coming Saturday. As per SA they can give up to 30k discount plus free LTO.

Just saw this unit yesterday sa wheels e rod, the exterior looks nice, parang mahabang swift. Yung interior medyo-medyo, interior color is beige, and the build quality of the door panels are not that flush, may mga awang in between. Yung lang napansin ko. Pero I was really excited about this since last year pa. Medyo disappointed lang.

Sir any other disappointments aside from what you mentioned? Would you able to test drive the unit? Thanks

Thanks for this info. Might visit Suzuki Sucat then.

To sir usbslave,
Actually yun pa lang ang napansin ko, pero I found this today on the web.
Very thorough ang review, http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/offici...al-review.html

Finally saw it in the flesh yesterday at Suzuki Auto Sucat. Yes, it looks like the GA will only have single a/c which is a deal breaker for me. I saw the GL and GLX matic. The bang for the buck variant will be the GL for me.

Some pics:

My findings on the GL with some compared to the Avanza and Spin LS minus the diesel engine in terms of pricing range:

- the front passenger seat may not need to be pushed backward as the front passenger legroom is superb. Good for adding more legroom to the second row. Middle row slides front and back. Middle row seats +1 against Avanza E and Spin (fixed fold and tumble)

- GL variant gets both ABS and EBD. +1 against the Avanza E and Spin LS (none)

- GL variant already gets driver and passenger airbag. +1 against the Avanza E (driver only) and Spin LS (none)

- Tried the airconditioning and I find that the blowers are somewhat on the weaker end at full setting although I am quite comfy at the last row provided that the rear blow is set to max. 4 rear middle a/c vents versus 3 on the Avanza. The spin wins in this category with 2 vents each row but fan speed also on the weaker end at the max level. Front aircon blower nowhere near an Altis at full speed.

- EPS is very light, reminds me of a GE Jazz.

- No MT variants on display so I have yet to feel the clutch pedal.

- Accelerator is drive by wire. Light feel, throttle lag is almost not noticeable except for OC's.

- Engine feels very refined compared to the K3-VE of the Avanza E. Still nowhere near the economy and midrange torque of the Spin LS but that's a diesel.

- No rear wiper on the GL model. Avanza E wins this.

- 3rd row folds flat but is not split compared to a Carens. The current avanza has 50/50 splits but will only fold and tumble. Spin has one-piece fold and tumble similar to the previous gen Avanza.

- For me, this looks a lot better than both the Spin and Avanza but looks are opinion-based. The spin has a really ackward rear end. The current Avanza's rear end looks like it got rear ended with crumpled sheet metal out of the factory. Whoever designed that rear end should be fired.

- GL's audio system already is the integrated type with aux and USB ports near the 12v socket. Only the GLX gets the steering wheel controls and front dashboard tweeters.

- The missus will definitely love the beige interiors as with the previous carens but it will be a PITA to clean.

- The 15" stock alloys suit it really well. +1 against the Avanza E and Spin LS.


Not bad at 712k for the GL M/T. The missus will always prefer a stickshift and so do I.

Di ka makatiis! Hahaha! Now I want to go out and get a test drive.

I'm also looking at this... if fuel economy can even brush 20 km/l on the highway (Indian ARAI is 16 km/l combined), it might be a sweet deal in GL MT form. The price advantage over the Spin is no laughing matter.

lalo ngayon tumaas na ng 20k ang Spin

buti na lang pina-cancel ko muna yung reservation ko ng Spin

my cousin own a swift and a close friend own an apv so far ok naman ang feedback sa cost ng pms at tibay ng parts.

Does anyone know the fuel consumption of Ertiga?

Thanks k0mpressor sa review na yan. Mas na-excite tuloy kami ibenta yung APV at ibili ng Ertiga..

lalo ngayon tumaas na ng 20k ang Spin

buti na lang pina-cancel ko muna yung reservation ko ng Spin

Chevy spin nag increase? Tama yan, mag Ertiga nalang. Hehehe

Low maintenance ang Suzuki IMHO. For 6 years na gamit namin yung APV, so far ang napapalitan ko pa lang eh yung Fan Motor.. bukod sa tamang PMS lang at alaga, sigurado tatagal.
