Car Profiles - Suzuki Ertiga

SUZUKI ERTIGA

An Indonesian specialty, the Ertiga looks more modern and feels modern than the APV (it won't get the ax, as there's demand for it). It does the basics and can do a threat for the Avanza. Can Suzuki smell a winner here?

The Good: Modern in all aspects
The Bad: Space can be tight

Price Range: P619,000-P812,000
