Car Review: New Suzuki Ertiga GX AT

Kanjenkautomotive.blogspot.com - Suzuki Ertiga present the latest figure premiere in mid August and PT Indomobil Suzuki Sales (SIS) believes this is a new Ertiga MPV (Multi Purpose Vehicle) that is capable of presenting a sense of driving more stable. The proof according to SIS, New Suzuki Ertiga directly posted sales of 1,915 units up to close the month of August 2015.

To prove the improvement in attendance at the New Suzuki Ertiga, Suzuki invited us to test New Ertiga route Jakarta - Cirebon. We had the opportunity to test New Ertiga GX-type automatic transmission. Suzuki stated that New Ertiga suffered 30 significant revisions mainly on the exterior and interior details.

Display nuanced chrome grille and new fog lamp bezel increasingly making New Ertiga even fresher. While at the rear, has now pinned parking sensors and also outside mirrors can now be folded automatically. The interface is also increasingly stout thanks to a new design alloy wheels.

Entry into the cabin, Suzuki seems to want to show the advantages of the New Ertiga in its class. A combination of black and beige appear dominant. The proportion of seats with fabric material is not made thin, even quite thick and comfortable. When behind the wheel will be called audio control buttons, although the order of audio in the dashboard is quite easy to reach hands.

While the instrument panel uses a combination of analog and digital with Multi Information Display (MID) that gives mileage options A and B, up to a fuel consumption average. Unfortunately no ECO features that can give you an idea whether the driver has to drive fuel efficient as it is already available on its nearest competitor.

The position of sitting in the second row, the seating position is quite comfortable because of leg room so relieved, even the second-row seats can slide back and forth. Passengers in the second row now do not have to worry about the hassles to recharge his smartphone. because in the second row is already available New Ertiga powered 12V car charger. In the third row bench is now more functional thanks to collapsible until 50:50.

Suzuki still equip New Ertiga with engine K14B 1.4-liter 4-cylinder VVT. Just like that embedded in Ertiga previous generation. However, SIS revise prod power generated. New Ertiga engine power actually dropped to 92 hp at 6,000 rpm from the previous 95 hp at 6,000 rpm. Donny Saputra, Head of Product Development 4W PT SIS reasoned if the ultimate goal is more on fuel efficiency.

"Yes strength down but brought forward early peak torque at rpm with the intention that the torque is more easily obtained in the early rounds so that the engine does not need a deep stepped on the accelerator," he explained. Suzuki trying to optimize engine performance by making improvements in the fuel chamber to the ECM (Engine Control Module). Despite the decline in power but the torque 130 Nm can be obtained at a lower engine speed. Suzuki claims if New Ertiga is capable of 8 percent more efficient than previous models.

In addition, improved from the previous engine compression 10.1: 1 to 11.1: 1. These consequences make New Ertiga recommended with fuel RON 90 (Pertalite). Changes in machine parts are believed SIS in order to improve fuel efficiency. It is quite difficult to find differences in acceleration, but in general, this car we feel is quite responsive when accelerated following the other cars on the highway. Reaching speeds of 160 kph was quite easy. Muffled engine sound is quite good, even when the car drove up to touch the engine turns 3500 rpm.

All models New Ertiga namely GA, GL and GX is equipped with airbags, including for the front passenger. Unfortunately, it is no safety feature is removed, the system brakes with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brake-Force Distribution (EBD), which was available on the type GX.
