When it comes to providing affordable vehicle options in the Philippines, the Japanese automaker Suzuki is one of the go-to options in the country. Suzuki is known to put the 'value' in 'valuable' with a lineup that's less about the price and more about the prize. Here are some of the most budget-friendly Suzuki cars to help you avoid breaking the bank.
Suzuki Dzire
First on the list, the Suzuki Dzire, which might look compact, but is actually spacious enough for comfortable city driving and the occasional long-distance journey. The car is powered by a 1.2-liter engine, pushing out a modest 82 hp and 113 Nm of torque. You can pick a manual transmission for a hands-on driving feel or go for the automated manual if you prefer an easier drive. The Dzire's cabin is simple yet really functional, with a seven-inch infotainment system for your tunes and maps, and even rear AC vents to keep everyone cool.
Suzuki S-Presso
Did you have your daily dose of coffee this morning? You should have, because next on the list is the Suzuki S-Presso, a small hatchback, but it sits higher off the ground than you'd expect, making bumpy roads less of a problem. The 1.0-liter engine and 5-speed manual transmission make it fun and agile for weaving through traffic. Inside, it comes with a touchscreen for basic entertainment and manual air conditioning controls. It's an easy-to-drive car for getting around town, much like what a caffeine does that help you get through the day - what a way to live up to its name.
Suzuki Celerio
For a bit more room, the Suzuki Celerio offers a great combo of compact size and clever space. The car's 1.0-liter engine is frugal, keeping fuel costs low. There's 295 liters of trunk space, and you can fold down the rear seats when you need to fit more stuff. The touchscreen infotainment is a nice modern touch, keeping you connected on the go.
Suzuki Ertiga
Families might turn to the Suzuki Ertiga, a seven-seater that can juggle passengers and cargo with its adaptable interior. The Ertiga is moved by a 1.5-liter engine from the rugged Jimny, offering a smooth ride without guzzling gas. Inside, there's a touchscreen for entertainment, and some versions even come with a mild-hybrid system, cutting fuel consumption further.
Suzuki APV
Lastly, the Suzuki APV is all about being versatile. Yep, you heard it right! With its boxy design and sturdy 1.6-liter engine, this vehicle is ready for both family outings and delivering goods. The interior is really roomy and flexible, catering to a range of needs, whether that's carrying people, packages, or both, so long as it's legal.
So, that was quite a list, huh? Suzuki really makes it possible to keep your bank account as happy as your drive. Get a quote for these vehicles now, or you may also take a look at the current lineup of Suzuki if you prefer something else.
