Suzuki Ignis UK Review 2023 - Should You Buy One? | OSV Short Car Reviews

__________________________________________
Meet the Suzuki Ignis!
The second-generation Suzuki Ignis arrived on UK roads in 2017 and over the years it’s been one of the Japanese brand’s most popular offerings. It occupies a rather strange place in the market as it can be considered both a city car or small SUV, depending on who you ask. WhatCar recently named it the best small SUV for value, yet it’s more similar in size to a Volkswagen Up than a Ford Puma.
The Ignis received a facelift in 2020 that gave it even more rugged compact SUV appeal with revised exterior styling, as well as the addition of a new hybrid powertrain. Like other Suzuki models, it's easy to wrap your head around the Ignis range thanks to three clearly defined trim levels and just one engine option.
So, which version should you go for? And is it the perfect choice if you’re looking for a small car with SUV capabilities?

Let’s find out...

Own one since 2016 and it's nice.

majority of the noise in this car is cause of the tires. Yokohama Earth1 and a Continental model which I forgot significantly reduce road noise

[mrgurulittle]

It's like a baby Jeep. Probably better than a Wrangler.

[vilvismargots]

Great review! I am looking forward to owning this little beauty in the future!

[svkguha]

I own this alongside my Nissan Kicks. Love both my cars ❤

[jbravery]

Could be a future replacement for my mk3 Panda… very similar style of car but I think this looks abit more practical

the 7 inch central touch display is not a pioneer system if it was it may have been ok, its a Bosch SLDA incar infotainment as fitted also in jimny and some renault and is pretty awful..

[stijnVDA]

That screen actually doesn't look like a pioneer system, the pioneer system that i know of on it has only buttons on the bottom and has a disc drive...

[bondjamesbond]

Yes you should buy one. They are very roomy, reliable and reasonably comfortable for a small car. For the money they are the best small car on the market.

Loved mine, brilliant little car. Superb MPG and loads of fun and suprisingly comfortable.

[cheungman]

I rented this car on holiday, at first I was bit embarrassed but after driving it’s actually quite fun to drive and it’s very revvy engine and very roomy inside.

[stephenguckel]

Had mine for 2 years now. It's an amazing little car. I agree with most of this report.

[juliasomerville]

I am really hoping I'll like it, iv been waiting over 11 months for mine to come.

Hi the first Bs I found about the Ignis as an owner in Australia is that it is a city runabout. My little ignis loves the highway. I live in the Mallee Wimmera Victoria, very flat. Travelling at 100 KPH on the flat 1800 RPM's. A very steep hill it got to 2700 RPM's (6300 RPM's before it harms engine.) for a short burst. It cruises at around 24 kilometers per litre at 100 KPH. It is an amazing vehicle. Only fault is road noise. You have to learn to drive the cvt gearbox from take off for a smooth effortless acceleration. I maintain a constant 2000 revs under acceleration (gently) until I reach my required speed then taper off. Roundabouts I approach like a racing car driver slow down then progressively accelerate around the roundabout for a smooth cvt operation. Solid built vehicle, open the boot bonnet doors then close them and hear that clunk that only comes from a well built car. I am 6'1"(185 cm) and it is so easy to enter exit my Ignis. I still have height adjustment in the seat. Only thing I will doing is changing the oil/filter every 7.500 k's. 15000 km services are BS.

some say it is comfortable with soft ride and some other review says it is hard ride?
maybe not all Ignis are the same, who knows

[leoseries]

I like the Ignis but my big complaint with the ignis is that Suzuki only give you one remote key. This is not trivial - try buying an after market one!

[downburst]

What a guy, I’d be flying about a city and he is out on a country road. He hasn’t a clue. Another waste of time with a clueless Starbucks mentioning chap. Plus he says esh UV

[mikeriley]

Used to like this companies reviews. This guy has a grinding voice. Has a common way of talking, but trying to sound educated. Bring back the proper reviewers.

[angeliquemarais]

How long does the battery of this hybrid car last?
