- Big on space, easy on the pocket; That is what the subcompact MPV has to deliver, and then some. It's not enough that it carries seven people on board. It has to be comfortable, well-equipped, fuel efficient and hugely versatile.
For this episode of head to head, we sample two subcompact MPVs that meet the demands of the modern consumer. Despite Honda being a relative newcomer to the segment, the Mobilio has been a success for the automaker, becoming the marque's second best-selling car in their lineup. Suzuki meanwhile has just recently refreshed the Ertiga, giving it more equipment to keep it competitive in its segment. We take a look at both and see what each has to offer.
It's Honda versus Suzuki for this week's head to head as we take a look at their respective subcompact MPVs, the Mobilio and Ertiga. Each MPV promises to deliver loads of space in a small package. Let's see how each one stacks up.
Under the hood of the Suzuki Ertiga is powered by a 1.4 liter, four cylinder engine with VVT. Derived from its platform siblings, the Swift and Ciaz, the engine in the Ertiga produces 92 PS and 130 Nm of torque. It is the lone engine option for the Ertiga. Moving to the Honda Mobilio, is uses a larger engine, packing an i-VTEC 1.5 liter mill with 120 PS and 145 Nm of torque, putting it on top of its class in terms of power. It is the same engine used in the City and Jazz and, like the Ertiga, there are no other choices for its engines.
Honda has taken a different route with their transmission. Instead of a traditional torque converter, the Mobilio can be equipped with a continuously variable transmission in its mid-level and top of the line models. As for the Suzuki Ertiga, it uses a more conventional four-speed automatic. Both can also be specified with five-speed manuals.
With both being derived from car platforms, the Mobilio and the Ertiga ride on similar suspension set ups. At the front, both feature MacPherson struts and, at the rear, a torsion beam.
Inside, the Mobilio follows a gray theme with its seats being trimmed in fabric. Round shapes can also be seen throughout the dashboard from its air-con vents, cupholders and gear selector. Behind the urethane steering wheel is a comprehensive instrument cluster. The dial surrounds light up in blue when stationary or when driving spiritedly and turn green when driving economically. The Mobilio also shows average and real time fuel economy readouts. The Mobilio also features tilt steering and adds height adjusters to the seats.
As for the Ertiga, it boasts of a more formal looking dash with a more squarish look. While the seats are also trimmed in fabric, the Ertiga brightens up its cabin with a tan theme. The Ertiga also comes with an LCD multi-information display, showing relevant information to the driver such as average speed, odometer and average fuel economy. Like the Mobilio, it comes with a tilt wheel and seat height adjusters.
There are a variety of entertainment systems available for both Ertiga and Mobilio, depending on the variant selected for each MPV. In the Ertiga, the base model uses a 1-DIN audio system while moving up to the mid-level model gets you touchscreen with an offline navigation system. It also includes Bluetooth, Auxiliary and USB capability. The top of the line Ertiga gets an Android-based infotainment system with Wi-Fi capability, on top of the standard features of the mid-spec variant. Moving to the Honda Mobilio, it too starts with a 1-DIN audio system in the entry-level variant. Mid-spec models meanwhile get an upgraded 2-DIN system which adds Bluetooth. Opt for the top of the line Mobilio and it gets a 7" Touch Screen with Navigation and DVD/CD as standard.
For their exteriors, the Honda Mobilio comes with a more wagon-like design that's lower to the ground. The front end is the same one found in the car it's based on, the Brio. Moving to its side, the roof sweeps upwards while the window features a downward kink for visibility. At the back, the tailgate comes with a low liftover for easier loading into the cargo area. - Auta a dopravní prostředky

I like the interior of the Ertiga!
Honda Civic tapos Avanza pa, kahit na rear-wheel yun at body-on-frame at di kasing comfortable ng dalawa ito.
The suzuki ertiga has a quieter and more comfortable ride than the mobilio with more stylish interior.
