In choosing a car that fits the criteria of being economical but still ensuring good use for work and family, Suzuki Ertiga is the leading candidate.

Attractive from the selling price to practicality

Among the models competing in the small-sized 7-seated family segment in Vietnam, Suzuki Ertiga is the name with the most attractive price. The Ertiga MT (manual transmission) version costs only 499.9 million, while the Ertiga AT (automatic) is 559.9 million VND. Notably, this is an imported car model. With such an extremely attractive price, customers are still assured of receiving valuable equipment and facilities, accompanied by guaranteed quality.

Compared to a direct competitor in the country, the retail price of the manual version of Suzuki’s model is 55 million VND lower. In the group of popular cars for family use or service, this difference is quite remarkable, especially in difficult times of Covid-19.

Ertiga shapes a pragmatic philosophy, a typicality of Japanese cars. It is hard to find in the segment many with great storage compartments like the Ertiga. The Ertiga Sport cockpit has a cooling water tank to help ease the driver’s daily stresses. The automatic version comes with a 10-inch entertainment screen, the largest in the segment. Apple CarPlay / Android Auto connectivity is available. The design of the car door is wide, creating comfort for passengers when traveling long journeys, reducing car sickness.

Low cost of use

The Ertiga’s low fuel consumption surprised many. On urban roads, the manual Ertiga MT only costs 5.04 liters / 100km, while the automatic Ertiga AT version is even more economical at about 4.74 liters / 100 km. These numbers are so ideal that they are only equal to the B-class sedan carrying 4 people, which has a much smaller size and weight. To put in context, fuel consumption of Ertiga’s competitor is about 6 liters / 100km or higher.

On average, Ertiga MT version only costs about 0.047 liters per km. With the current price of A95 gasoline at about 25,000 VND / liter, for each kilometer of rolling, Ertiga car owners spend about 1,100 VND for gasoline. Compared to other models, buyers of Ertiga MT and Ertiga AT versions save 57,610,000 and 63,110,000 respectively.

More broadly, in about 5 years, and every year the car owner runs 10,000 km, the fuel cost is saved by about 10 million VND compared to other 7-seater cars that have a consumption rate of over 6 liter/100km. Adding the differences such as the cost of ownership and maintenance (approximately 30 million lower), customers who own Ertiga save of about 100 million VND compared to buying other cars.

Convenience for customers owning Ertiga is also in the matter of maintenance. The brand offers free maintenance at three milestones of 1,000km (1 month), 7,500km (6 months), 15,000km (12 months). So in the first year, customers only spend about 1 million VND to change the oil filter and a few other things. The cost of replacing parts for Suzuki Ertiga is also among the lowest in the segment. For example, the oil filter costs 89,000 VND, the water pump belt is 213,000 VND, the air conditioner filter is 308,000 VND…

The outstanding durability from Suzuki, Ertiga, and other Suzuki models, require low maintenance. As a result, Suzuki owns the lowest maintenance cost among Japanese car brands. The difference is estimated to be 3 times lower than other automakers.

For example, when purchasing cars from another brand, most customers will have to do periodic maintenance at the 5,000km mark. Ertiga customers only need to perform maintenance for the car at 6 months or 7,500km, depending on conditions. The engine and transmission warranty with the Ertiga has also been extended to 5 years or 150,000km (whichever comes first), for long-term peace of mind for car owners.

With the advantages of price, performance, and attractive cost of use in the segment, Ertiga is much like an “all-in-one”: safe, versatile, and lightweight car for families in this period as using public transportations is still rather risky due to Covid.

In addition, from October 15 to 31, 2021, Suzuki offers a 1-year maintenance voucher to show gratitude towards customers who are frontline medical employees against the pandemic when buying Suzuki cars.
