2018 Suzuki Ertiga Indonesia Prices Leaked

It's been a few weeks since Suzuki pulled the wraps off the new-gen Ertiga in Indonesia and the MPV has been creating a lot of buzz. Ahead of the new Suzuki Ertiga's Indonesia launch, prices for the MPV have been leaked by a local publication, which claims that MPV will be launched at a starting price of IDR 193 million, which is approx. Rs. 9.28 lakh as per latest exchange rates. The top-end variant, on the other hand, will be priced over IDR 238 million, which is close to Rs.11.47 lakh, in India. Suzuki has already commenced the production of the new Ertiga and it's expected to be launched in Indonesia in coming months.

While the exact exchange rate might give you the impression that the new-gen Ertiga will be a lot expensive than the existing model that will not essentially be the case. Based on taxation and several other aspects vehicles sold in Indonesia are more expensive, compared to India, which is why we do not expect to see such a drastic price hike when the model is finally launched here. But, judging by the host of updates even the India-bound Ertiga is set to receive, the MPV will come with a premium and we expect it to be priced in the range of Rs. 6.50 lakh to 11 lakh (ex-showroom). India will get it towards 2018-end or early 2019.

The model is now built on the company's latest Heartect platform, like the new Swift, which had made it lighter yet more rigid. The styling has also received a major overhaul and the MPV now look a worthy competition to the Toyota Innova Crysta, with the new projector headlamps, chrome grille, muscular bumpers, stylish LED taillamps, and nicer wheels and much more.
