Suzuki Motor Corporation
Among the 68 Suzuki Motor Corporation entries in the MotorJury library, the Suzuki Ertiga holds its own page in a catalogue built to record every car ever made, from series production to one-off concepts. The record places its introduction in 2012. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.
To read the Suzuki Ertiga properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2010s were the decade electrification stopped being a science project — Tesla forced the incumbents' hand, downsized turbo engines replaced displacement, and the crossover conquered every market. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Peugeot Peugeot 208, the Mazda Mazda CX-5, the Tesla Tesla Model X — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.
On paper, the Suzuki Ertiga reads like this: the record lists its engine as Petrol engine / Petrol: / 1373 cc Suzuki K engine#K14B / K14B Straight-four engine / I4 / Diesel engine / Diesel: / 1248 cc JTD engine#1.3 Multijet / D13A turbo-diesel I4; quoted output is 70 kW (petrol) / 68 kW (diesel); kerb weight is recorded at 1155 –; drive goes through 5-speed Manual transmission / manual / 4-speed Automatic transmission / automatic; the layout is Front-engine, front-wheel-drive. Worked together, those figures give roughly 61 horsepower per tonne — the single number that says more about how a car actually moves than any of its parts alone. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.
Within Suzuki Motor Corporation's own catalogue the Suzuki Ertiga sits alongside the Fuji Cabin, the Geo Metro, the Suzuki A-Star Concept (2005), the Suzuki APV. Design is credited to Hisanori Matsushima. Assembly is recorded at India: Gurgaon (Maruti Suzuki) / Indonesia: Bekasi Regency (Suzuki Indomobil Motor Tambun plant, 2012–2015; Cikarang plant, 2015–2018) / Malaysia: Proton City (Proton Holdings / PT.
This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.
A specification sheet is only half a car's story. The other half — what breaks, what it costs to keep, which years to avoid — lives in MotorJury's ownership database, computed nightly from federal complaint and recall records and EPA economy data. Where the Suzuki Ertiga was sold in the United States, its model years carry full ownership verdicts there.
Specifications come from the Wikipedia infobox for this model (CC BY-SA) and the open Wikidata record, and are shown only where a source actually carries them — nothing here is estimated. Figures are manufacturer specifications, not measured results.
