Made-in-India More characteristics for export markets on the Suzuki Ertiga
With the exception of the left-hand drive configuration, the alloy wheel design, and the optional body package, the redesigned Ertiga shown recently at the 2022 Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS) is similar to the Indian variant. A closer inspection indicates that the automobile shown in the Philippines receives just minimal extras.

The bigger 9-inch touchscreen and 360-degree camera come first. Although the touchscreen’s features are comparable, the Ertiga in India does not presently have this functionality. The existence of a motorised tailgate, which is absent from not just the Indian model but from the majority of MPVs in our country right now, is another distinctive feature.
Although other Maruti Suzuki models in India already have a 360-degree camera and a big touchscreen, adding these technologies to the wildly popular MPV—along with a motorised tailgate—could increase its worth even more.
The XL6, which has this technology and is offered as a high-end option to the MPV via Maruti’s Nexa stores, may be one of the primary reasons why the 360-degree camera is not available on the Ertiga in India. However, the XL6 does not have a motorised tailgate or a bigger touchscreen.
Made-in-India Suzuki Ertiga: moderate hybrid K15B rather than K15C
Although the made-in-India Ertiga for countries like the Philippines has more features, it lags behind the model marketed here in terms of available powertrains since Suzuki continues to provide the Ertiga for export markets with the somewhat outdated K15B 1.5-litre engine. In India, the pre-facelift Ertiga used this engine in conjunction with an earlier four-speed automatic gearbox and mild hybrid technology.
The Ertiga’s mild-hybrid 1.5-litre K15C engine, which Maruti refers to as “Smart Hybrid,” is fitted with Dualjet technology and is available in India with either a six-speed automatic transmission or a five-speed manual transmission.
