Suzuki has now officially unveiled the Ertiga FF Sport variant for the Indonesian market
The South East Asian market is known for its love of MPVs. OEMs continuously bring in regular updates to their line-ups to keep the excitement around their brands high. For a similar reason, Suzuki has brought in the Ertiga FF Sport, which is basically the standard Ertiga with a ton of visual enhancement add-ons
Suzuki Ertiga FF Sport – Highlights
The key highlights of the model include an all new Honeycomb mesh grille at the front, sporty bumpers and side skirts, dual tone alloy wheels, inverted L-shaped DRLs, an all black dashboard with wood inserts and black upholstery with red stitching. From the outside, the add-ons make the Ertiga look relatively sportier than the standard version.
New Suzuki Ertiga FF Sport trim is mechanically identical to the standard Ertiga. There is no change in its powertrain or other mechanicals. Under the hood, it gets a 1.5 litre 105 PS petrol unit, which is mated to either a 5-speed MT or a 4-speed torque converter AT.
Indian MPV market
As of now, we don’t think that Maruti Suzuki will plan on bringing this FF Sport trim to the Indian market. In India, Maruti also sells the XL6 which has been positioned as a relatively more premium version of the Ertiga. It also gets 2 captain seats in the second row and an all black cabin, adding to the overall premium quotient.
However, an upcoming all new product in the Indian MPV space will be the Kia Carens MPV, which Kia is currently testing aggressively across the country. Other competitors in the MPV space happen to be the Renault Triber, Mahindra Marazzo and Toyota Innova. On the relatively premium end of the market, options like Kia Carnival and Toyota Vellfire are also present.
