Just bought the Ertiga hybrid yet I'm still hooked watching Ertiga reviews. I have to say your video has the best quality (4K!!!) compared to most. I subscribed haha
exempted po ba sa coding? ty
Your explanations are so concise and easy to follow😀. Thank you for making this video!
Glad it was helpful!
Agreed sa lahat ng need improvement mo bro, when it comes to family safety first talaga..i hope they can hear you and consider a refresh..
Are you sure it's exempted? From what I've read and from the LTO list mild hybrid models is not exempted from the number coding.
Suzuki hybrid technology in the Philippines ❤
Thanks for the detailed review Sir Vince. I agree with you on the shortcomings of this car. The hybrid is the mildest of mild hybrids. The 12v system is only good to bridge the gap between city and highway fuel economy. The 48v used in India keeps the AC on for instance. On that note, the differences between the non hybrid fuel economy and this arent epic. If I had the previous GLX black edition i wouldnt feel compelled to upgrade based on the fuel economy. I agree that some of Suzuki Philippines product planning makes no sense. I think it started from the Ciaz "model change" which amounted to a GL version that was stripped out with the new grill and a slightly newer head unit. Then came the Vitara AllGrip which was overly expensive not only due to the sourcing from Hungary(which could not be helped, but also because they slapped alot of pricey accessories to it(Suzuki spoilers aint cheap), I can only hope they are doing something sensible with the Grand Vitara since they are taking so long to unveil it.
Back to the Ertiga, alot of the interior complains can be sorted aftermarket. Basic rearview mirror, you can get a E Mirror for instance. The cargo space though, the measurement is wrong for the total length. If you go by the xl7 brochure and what i measured you get around 71" in length.
I am actually not happy with the faux hybrid, because it increased the price of Ertiga. There's no real upgrade from the old model just the sticker and lithium batteries. And they should've made the starter motor bigger to really sell it as a hybrid.
@@smolyponks as i said, if you had the previous Black Edition you wouldnt be getting much over cruise and stability control. Be thankful they didnt go full hybrid and put in the Motor Generator Unit, you would probably lost the underfloor storage in the back or worse due to the bigger batteries.
Suzuki's current distributor makes me feel less hopeful about getting the Invicto here in the future.
@@inzane456 i feel you, they will probably say its too expensive and drop it. I think the most you can hope for is the hybrid XL7 but even then, its like Suzuki Philippines just strives for the lowest common denominator when it comes to product selection or they do something unnecessarily flashy like the Vitara AllGrip Select that was plastered with accessories that drove the price up more than it needed to be.
@@mindfreeze0838 Agreed, as evidenced by how they're slowly replacing the Swift with the Celerio of all things. Introducing the Swift Hybrid into the market right now would be a strong contender, but....yeah the S-Presso AGS is a better entry apparently.
You know what would make a great video? A head to head fuel consumption test between the hybrid and non hybrid ertiga.
11:03 hindi po ba trippy ang english term nun sir vince?
That works!
Matipid po ba tlga ang ertiga variant na to
Hybrid badge is kind of misleading, since it's only mild hybrid.. it does not have an electric drivetrain that can drive the car itself
its not about electric drivetrain is about low CO2 emission. just like nissan kicks has electric motor driving the car but still has combustion engine running as generator.
Mas ok pa yun old model na lang ang ini upgrade un mga safety features. Hindi masyado tatangkilikin yan dahil mild hybrid at very costly maintenance.
Battery capacity calculations are wrong it should be 120 watt-hours not 12kwh
Suzuki is trying to be slick with the hybrid label. I dont think this is can be called a hybrid in the strictest use of the term. I did a quick google search suzuki claims that that the non hybrid gets 16km to the liter. 😅
@schjasonphrenic249 yup. But depends on the type of hybrid. Suzuki mild.hybrid system resembles more of an engine start stop system rather than a mild hybrid
I hate what they are doing to the Suzuki brand.
Would have bought this if only the cranky screw thing and the mirror thing was working well.
Willing to shell out a few more for a variant with 360 degree camera and ADAS systems (adaptrive cruise/traffic jam assist/auto emergency break).
The BR-V S turns out to be the better option than this due to the pretty basic but vital features that the Ertiga, for a TOTL variant, lacks and for what basically is priced the same.
Hell, the Xpander GLX AT has more to offer for a lesser price. Sure it has a smaller infotainment screen and lacks a push-start button, but the 14 cup and bottleholders inside and a center console box up front does give you way more versatility.
But yeah in terms of comfort, the Suzuki definitely doesn't need to look sophisticated or what to tell people it's comfy and pleasant to ride in. Totally agree with all the points Vince has presented, and I also love the real-world testing of the fuel consumption which now debunks most statements saying the Ertiga Hybrid can now easily reach Mirage and S-presso-like figures. Still pretty thrifty especially in city consumption figures but not far off from what its other subcompact MPVs can achieve.
One hell of a precise review once again Ai 👏🏼
about the expander, kumusta po aircon kumpra sa ertiga?
@@cyrus6317 pretty much the same, tho afaik 4 and fan speed sa rear and Xpander and 8 sa harap. So theoretically, mas malakas ang max aircon ng Xpander over Ertiga but haven't tried maxing out sa Ertiga yet so can't really tell that much. Tho normal usage, wala naman ako napansin na difference between the two sa ilang beses ko na nakasakay sa current gen Ertiga and more so when driving the Xpander.
Thankyou so much!
For you which is a better option? BRV-S , xpander or ertiga/ XL7 ?
@@christianlouiepitogo7035 tough question.
BR-V S and Ertiga GLX, I'd say Honda. Ertiga could've been better given the presence of cruise control and telescopic steering but the basic things that the Suzuki lacks is kinda bummer.
But vs. the Xpander GLX? Would probably be a tie technically. The BR-V S lacks cruise control and telescopic steering, but has Honda's Vehicle Stability Control(VSC) and has more HP and torque, on paper. The Xpander may lack Mitsubishi Active Stability Control(M-ASC) for the GLX but given never have I ever had any scenario where I needed it in our two 90's SUVs even when driving to their limits(since I know the limits) and that it has cruise control and telescopic steering as standard which for me is a need plus the higher ground clearance, I personally would go Xpander esp that it is cheaper than the BR-V S.
Tho if I were to go Mitsubishi, I'd just go straight to the GLS for a few more bucks than the BR-V S and have loads of features even when compared to the BR-V V despite having a cheaper price.
If I ever want a BR-V, I'd only go for the S variant. Not worth spending for the V and the VX is just too steep just for telescopic steering, tho Honda Sensing is present.
Aalisin na ang mga mild hybrid sa exemptions di ba, wala naman silang electric motor to actually run the car
Oo, apparently di nagresearch muna yung gumawa ng title.
Suzuki says they secured an exemption. As to how, ask the dealer🙂
@@autoindustriyanako mukhang magiging issue pa tong suzuki for asking a special permit 😆
it has low CO2 emission that's why it passed the hybrid category. like to Nissan kicks it has Electric motor driving the car but still has the combustion engine running as generator.
@@SpeedChallenger18-io4qrthat's the hybrid system not mild-hybrid. Mild hybrid is just a bigger starter dynamo powered by lithium batteries.
Is it really coding exempted? Some authorities saying that it needs to be able to push itself through electricity and not IC.
As per the brand it is. Unless you have a higher authority with an actual document that says otherwise.
There was a memo getting circulated for Okavango a clarification from DOE. Though similar specs with Ertiga Hybrid, there's no confirmation that the Ertiga should not be exempted to coding.
😅exempted po sya. Ganyan ang car ng ate ko.
@@odethmagalong1067 Hindi ba talaga umaandar ang AIRCON kapag nakapara at naka-enable ang START/STOP feature ng Ertiga Hybrid?
@@not4mikeumaandar po ang accessories, including yung A/C
No cup holders? Come on men. How would passenger be in comfort while they have to hold their drinks until it’s finished
d na exempted ang mild hybrids
Malakas daw sa gas sabe ng grab driver na nakausap ko
Not exempt
😂😂😂😂
😂exempted!! Proven na. Ganyan ang car ng ate ko.
It's an over-complicated starter motor. Doesn't have power to move the vehicle on its own.
How is it over complicated?
Too bad mild hybrids are no longer excempted
Suzuki is dying and outclassed in all segments. Won't be surprised if they left market pretty soon. The china competitors are just unmatched if compared to what they're offering now.
@@schjasonphrenic249 in japan. Suzuki won't last in SEA if that's how they'll continue selling. They ranked 5th in our market and selling mostly ertiga and s presso. The 7 seater mpv segment competition is loaded with chinese cars with very good features. With being ertiga as their only main product selling, they're not gonna survive the competition. It's reflective as well on their car line ups where they're cutting almost all corners in all segments and just focusing on the ertiga shows they're struggling. They can't even bring the 48v hybrid and only opted for the 12v.
@@schjasonphrenic249 ranking 5th holds no value if suzuki's sales growth is only 2%. Imagine suzuki selling 19k vehicles from 2021 and still only selling about 19k vehicles in 2022.
For comparison, toyota sold 130k units in 2021 and sold 180k units in 2022. That's 35% sales growth. Lastly, take geely since you mentioned it. They sold 6k units in 2021 and sold 9k units in 2022. Thats a ridiculous 50% increase in sales. In relative terms, 5-6 filipinos bought a geely, 3-4 bought a toyota, and 1-2 bought a suzuki.
Simply put, yes they ranked 5th in overall sales. But for how long. They've discontinued the vitara and admitted that it was too expensive and cannot compete with the market. Manual variants have been dropped for some models. The apv is outdated. The jimny is not practical. And the suzuki carry won't certainly save them if thats their only sales. More chinese cars will saturate the mpv segment that majority of their sales rely on. Maybe me saying they're leaving the market is a bit extreme and too soon. But sadly, there's no other way to put it unless they pull a miracle saving vehicle in their line up.
@@schjasonphrenic249 the ertiga *DOES* come with a 48v system matagal na. Wala sa gaan nang kaha yan. Why would you even sell a 12v hybrid if sa market natin majority 48v.
@@schjasonphrenic249 did the 12v make any difference in overall efficiency? Comeback and reply if it does. They couldn’t bring it because it would be too expensive and no longer be able to compete in its segment 💀
@@schjasonphrenic249 you don’t seem to understand. Clearly, there is no demand in 2% sales lmao
what a joke of a technology
its 2023 model and top of the line. they should have bump the price up and add more techs on this since they call it a hybrid. i would choose Veloz V over this one.
Good review sir.👍👊
