Suzuki Philippines Launches All-New Suzuki Ertiga 2019
Suzuki Philippines (SPH) is nowhere near slowing down this year as the automotive company welcomes 2019 with a new and improved model of Suzuki Ertiga.
Suzuki Philippines unveils its upgraded 7-seater MPV
Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC) Ertiga Chief Engineer Satoshi Kasahara is the brain behind the best-selling 7-seater model’s latest upgrade. The main concept was to make it more attractive and stylish, without having to sacrifice comfort and safety.
Satoshi Kasahara discusses the innovations incorporated into the new Ertiga
Its exterior features a taller nose and a wide front grille, while its interior has been engineered for convenience and added comfort as it has larger passenger legroom. The third row also has more headspace and has seats that allow reclination.
A rear airconditioning unit is also installed for passengers seated in the second and third row. Small storage spaces like coin holders, door pockets, and ventilated cup holders are also set-up throughout the vehicle.

But one of the biggest development of the new Ertiga lies with its body structure, which sports Suzuki’s new generation platform, the HEARTECT.
The MPV’s new frame is light but strong—light enough to contribute to better driving performance at low fuel consumption, but rigid enough to disperse impact energy.
It also has TECT or the Total Effective Control Technology, which distributes collision energy across the vehicle’s frame, reducing the damage to the car and its passengers.

“With your continued support, we hope that the new Ertiga will be our best-seller just like its predecessor and bring Suzuki Philippines to even great feats. We invite you to get to know the all-new Ertiga better, experience each new feature designed to address the demand of the Philippine market,” he said during his opening remarks.
