The Suzuki Ertiga is a three-row mini/compact MPV manufactured by the Japanese automaker Suzuki since 2012. The first-generation model is heavily based on the Swift while the second-generation model introduced in 2018 is made larger and based on the HEARTECT platform. A crossover-styled version was introduced in 2019 as a separate model called the Suzuki XL6 in India and Suzuki XL7 for worldwide markets. The largest markets for the Ertiga are India and Indonesia, where the model is mainly manufactured. The vehicle has also been exported to other South Asian and Southeast Asian markets, along with several markets in Africa and Latin America.

The first-generation model was also sold in Indonesia through Mazda dealership network by an OEM agreement as the Mazda VX-1 from 2013 until 2017, and was assembled and sold in Malaysia by Proton as the Proton Ertiga from 2016 until 2019. The second-generation model is also sold by Toyota as the Toyota Rumion in South Africa since 2021.

The name "Ertiga" is coined from "R-tiga", a pronunciation of "R3" in Indonesian where "tiga" means "three" while "R" stands for "row", referencing its three-row seating capacity.

First generation (ZE; 2012)

The Ertiga was previewed by the R-III (R3) concept car showcased by Maruti Suzuki at the 2010 Auto Expo. The production version of the car was unveiled at the Auto Expo in New Delhi on 6 January 2012. It was launched in India on 12 April 2012^[1] and in Indonesia on 22 April 2012.^[2] It became available in South Africa on 9 June 2014 and in the Philippines on 17 July 2014. Its development was led by chief engineer Toshikatsu Hibi. Maruti Suzuki proclaims it to be the first LUV (Life Utility Vehicle).

The first generation Ertiga is built on the Swift subcompact car platform. It was rebadged in Indonesia as the Mazda VX-1 from May 2013 until March 2017, and also assembled and sold in Malaysia as the Proton Ertiga, from November 2016 until August 2019.

Markets

India

According to Maruti Suzuki, the Indian Ertiga was designed specifically for Indian consumers, unlike the other Maruti models which were designed for the global market.^[4]^[5] Maruti has marketed it as a "Life Utility Vehicle".^[6] 11,000 of these vehicles were ordered in India within five days.^[7]^[8]

In India, the Ertiga is available in both the alternatives of diesel and petrol variants. Though both of these engines were also seen doing duties earlier in various models, they are tweaked and retuned specifically for the car to provide fitting performance figures for its customers. The diesel variant is available in VDi, ZDi and ZDi+ 1.5 trim levels, while the petrol variant is available in LXi, VXi ZXi and ZXi+ trim levels.

In June 2013, Maruti Suzuki added its Ertiga models^[9] with compressed natural gas (CNG). The Ertiga LXi and VXi have original factory converter kit and are provided with i-GPI (intelligent Gas Port Injection) which Maruti Suzuki claimed will achieve 22.8 km/L (64 mpg_‑imp; 54 mpg_‑US) premium-equivalent.^[10]

Indonesia

The Indonesian market Ertiga is available in GA, GL and GX trim levels. Earlier models are only available with 5-speed manual transmission. On 29 January 2013, the GL and GX trims received chrome front grille and double blower air conditioner. The 4-speed automatic transmission is available for GL and GX trims from 17 May 2013.

At the 20th Indonesia International Motor Show in September 2012, three new concepts in the Ertiga's form are introduced, the Sporty, Luxury and Crossover version, which are actually Ertigas heavily modified into concept cars. The normal version, in this case the GX trim, also appeared. The Elegant version of the GX trim is available from August 2013. The Sporty was launched on 19 February 2014, which is based on the GL trim with a different front fascia and sporty body kit.

The Ertiga sold 109,461 units in two years, with selling record over Toyota Avanza in one year.^[11] The Ertiga is also offered in diesel variant, which is imported from India and only comes in manual transmission option.^[12]^[13]

Philippines

In the Philippines, the Ertiga is offered in three trim levels: GA (with manual transmission only), GL (with either manual or automatic transmission) and GLX (with automatic transmission only).^[14]

South Africa

The Ertiga is the brand’s first MPV-type vehicle in South Africa. However the company claims the Ertiga as a Life Utility Vehicle and also claims its aimed at being practical, while retaining the fun-to-drive characteristics on the popular Swift.

The Ertiga is the second made-in-India product in Suzuki South Africa’s portfolio, the first one being the older Alto (A-Star). The South African market Ertiga is only available with a 1.4-litre petrol engine paired with either 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission.^{[citation needed]}

Facelift

On 20 August 2015, the facelifted Ertiga was launched at the 23rd Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show. Changes consist of a wider grille, redesigned bumpers for all trims and a new trunk garnish exclusive to the GL and GX trims. The facelifted Ertiga was launched in India on 16 October 2015. Along with the diesel variants of the facelifted Ertiga comes with hybrid technology by Suzuki called as SHVS or Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki.

Proton Ertiga

2017 Proton Ertiga (Malaysia)

The Proton Ertiga is a rebadged Ertiga for the Malaysian market by Proton. It was launched on 24 November 2016, at the press conference at the Setia City Convention Centre, Setia Alam, Selangor.^[17] It is Proton's fourth model to be launched in a six-month span.^[18] It is Malaysia's first mini MPV that qualifies for Malaysia's EEV emissions standard. It can sit up to seven people, but because the middle row middle seat only features a lap belt, it is classified as a six-seater with a 2-2-2 configuration. It uses the same 1.4-litre petrol engine as the Suzuki Ertiga.

The Ertiga was updated in August 2018. It is now known as the Ertiga Xtra. The Executive Plus AT variant has been replaced with Premium AT. Changes included a darker upholstery for the seats and a 7-inch touchscreen head unit.^[19]^[20]^[21]

As with the launch of the second generation Suzuki-branded Ertiga, the future production of the Proton-branded Ertiga becomes unpredictable. In September 2019, the Proton Ertiga was discontinued.^[22]

Second generation (NC; 2018)

The second generation Ertiga was unveiled at the 26th Indonesia International Motor Show in Jakarta on 19 April 2018. It is built on the HEARTECT platform which is the same lightweight platform used in Baleno, Ignis and Swift.

The Indonesian-built second generation Ertiga is exported to the Philippines, Myanmar (CKD kits), Vietnam, Thailand, Mexico, the Middle East, East Timor, Brunei and Latin America. Exports began on 22 October 2018.

The Indian-built version is exported to African markets, such as South Africa and Kenya.
