Chevrolet Spin 1.5L LTZ AT (2015) vs Suzuki Ertiga GL AT (2016)

Chevrolet Spin 1.5L LTZ AT (2015) vs Suzuki Ertiga GL AT (2016): which should you buy?

Both the 2015 Chevrolet Spin 1.5L LTZ AT and the 2016 Suzuki Ertiga GL AT sit in the same M‑segment MPV class and are priced very close, with the Spin at ₱858,888 and the Ertiga at ₱865,000. The Spin edges out on performance – it delivers 109 PS and 141 Nm, compared with the Ertiga’s 96 PS and 130 Nm – and it also offers a smoother 6‑speed automatic versus the Ertiga’s 4‑speed unit. In terms of interior space the Spin is longer (4,620 mm vs 4,265 mm) and its 2+3+2 seating gives a more balanced three‑row layout, while the Ertiga’s 2+2+3 arrangement puts two seats in the middle row, which may feel cramped for three‑passenger trips. The Spin’s warranty is listed as “Unlimited/3‑years,” whereas the Ertiga provides a clear 100,000 km or 3‑year limit, which can be easier to track. A key practical difference is availability: the Spin is discontinued, meaning spare parts and dealer support may be limited, while the Ertiga is still in production and backed by an active dealer network. For buyers who prioritize raw power, a longer wheelbase, and a more conventional three‑row seat plan, and who are comfortable with a discontinued model, the Spin is the better fit. For most Filipino families seeking a current model with reliable after‑sales support, the slightly higher‑priced Ertiga is the safer, more practical choice.
