Ertiga
Seven seats at the lowest price in the UAE — the frugal family MPV that makes the numbers work · 7 seats
REPRESENTATIVE PHOTOBadborders / PexelsOur verdict
6.8 / 10The Suzuki Ertiga is the UAE's most affordable new seven-seater, offering a practical three-row cabin at a price that barely clears AED 71,000. Its 1.5L engine is modest by any measure — 103 hp through a four-speed automatic is uninspiring on UAE highways — but the Ertiga earns its place through relentless frugality and low ownership costs. Boot space is tight at 153 litres with all rows in use, and the cabin feels its budget origins with manual AC and a basic audio unit. Yet for buyers who genuinely need the seven seats and want the lowest possible monthly outgoings, nothing else comes close to this price. Suzuki's reputation for mechanical simplicity keeps service bills low and reliability high.
Who it's for — Large families, school-run buyers, and small business operators in the UAE who need seven seats on the tightest possible budget. Ideal for buyers who prioritise running costs over refinement and don't need the prestige of a Korean or Japanese premium MPV.
