Suzuki Ertiga Travels To South Africa

By Ajinkya

Suzuki had launched its maiden MPV for India the Eriga a while ago. Since, then the demand for the vehicle has not ceased and is the best in its segment. In terms of pricing and build quality the MPV by the Japanese manufacturer is spot on.

The Ertiga is soon to face competition from Datsun in the form of the GO+, along with Honda's MPV the Mobilio, which is based on the Brio hatchback. Suzuki's Ertiga was first on the spot in India and has left an impression in the minds of buyers. So, the competition will have to step up their game.

Suzuki will price the Ertiga between 1,59,900 Rand, which translates to INR 8,81,577, the most expensive model in the MPV will cost 207,900 Rand, which is INR 11,46,215. The prices of the vehicles seem to be a bit more owing to the CBU route the company has opted for.
