While the
Honda Odyssey J 2021 has a starting price of AED 112,900, the Suzuki Ertiga 2021 1.5L GLX stands at AED 52,900 including VAT. One of two available trim levels, the 1.5L GLX is equipped with features such as Airbags, EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution), Foldable Rear Seats, Power Steering, Steering Tilt Adjustment, Door Mirrors with Side Turn Signal, Electric Door Mirrors, Fog Lamps - Front Only, Halogen Headlamps, AUX, CD Player, Manual AC, and MP3.
This Japanese Mini Van is powered by a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine, generating 103 horsepower and 138 Nm of torque. In comparison, the Honda Odyssey and Luxgen 7 are offered with 2.4-litre and 2.2-litre engines, respectively.
In the United Arab Emirates, the average price of the Ertiga across all versions is AED 50,900, and factoring in an annual depreciation of 15%, we expect the 1.5L GLX to cost AED 44,965 on the
used car market by next year.
With a 45-litre fuel tank and an average consumption of 5L per 100 kilometers, filling up the 1.5L GLX would cost approximately AED 98.1, based on the current fuel price of AED 2.18 per liter for unleaded gasoline 95. For an average commute of 25,000 kilometers per year, you would need about 9 fill-ups, totaling AED 4,415.
The Suzuki Ertiga is known for its spacious interior, making it an ideal choice for families in the UAE. Its fuel efficiency is particularly appealing in the region's growing market for economical family vehicles. Additionally, the Ertiga offers versatile seating arrangements, allowing for easy conversion from passenger to cargo space. With a strong reputation for reliability, Suzuki continues to gain traction among UAE consumers seeking value in their automotive purchases.
