Hyundai i10 1.1 GLS (FL) MT (2015) vs Suzuki Ertiga GL (2015)

Hyundai i10 1.1 GLS (FL) MT (2015) vs Suzuki Ertiga GL (2015): which should you buy?

The Hyundai i10 1.1 GLS (2015) is the clear choice if you prioritize a low entry price, compact dimensions and a longer warranty. At ₱528,000 it is about ₱184,000 cheaper than the Suzuki Ertiga GL and its unlimited/5‑year warranty beats the Ertiga’s 3‑year/100,000 km coverage. The i10’s 1.1‑litre engine delivers 66 PS and 99 Nm, enough for city driving and daily commutes, while its 3565 mm length and hatchback body make parking and maneuvering in Manila’s tight streets effortless. It seats up to five (2+3) and uses a unibody construction, giving a more car‑like ride. However, if you need a larger family vehicle, the Ertiga’s 7‑seat layout (2+2+3), 4265 mm length and MPV body provide the practicality that the i10 cannot match. The Ertiga also offers more power—98 PS and 130 Nm—making it better suited for highway cruising and heavier loads, albeit at a higher cost of ₱712,000 and a shorter warranty. In short, choose the i10 for budget‑ conscious city drivers or small households; choose the Ertiga if you need extra seats and stronger performance for longer trips or larger families.
