Overall Rating
Suzuki Ignis:
The Suzuki Ignis is an automobile nameplate that was first produced by Suzuki in 2000 as a subcompact car, replacing the Suzuki Cultus, and subsequently as a crossover-styled city car from 2016.
The Cultus retailed under various names globally, notably as the Suzuki Swift. While the Cultus-based Swift was replaced by the Ignis in Europe and Australasia, Japanese models were in fact badged Suzuki Swift—thus debuting the "Swift" name in that market.

II (facelift 2020) Overview:
Suzuki Ignis (II (facelift 2020)). With 107 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. Weighing only 895 kg, it’s quite light. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 12.7 s). The top speed reaches 165 km/h. A vehicle that combines characteristics of SUVs and hatchbacks for versatility. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
1.2 Dualjet (83 Hp) Mild Hybrid Verdict:
Performance Verdict
The 83 Hp engine provides sufficient power for city driving and relaxed cruising. Acceleration is modest, but the mild-hybrid system aids low-end torque. Likely paired with a manual gearbox.
Fuel Economy
Very good fuel efficiency, potentially the best in the lineup due to lower power and likely manual transmission. The mild-hybrid system is key to its economical nature.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Excellent fuel economy across the range due to mild-hybrid technology
- • Compact size makes it highly agile and easy to park in urban environments
- • Optional AllGrip 4WD system provides genuine capability for light off-roading or challenging weather
- • Surprisingly spacious interior and practical boot for its exterior dimensions
- • Distinctive and charming styling that stands out from competitors
- • Suzuki's reputation for reliability and low running costs
Cons:
- • Modest engine power, especially the 83 Hp variants, can feel strained on highways
- • CVT transmission, while smooth, can be noisy under hard acceleration
- • Interior materials are generally hard plastics, reflecting its budget-friendly positioning
- • Rear passenger space is adequate but can be tight for taller adults on longer journeys
- • Small fuel tank capacity (30L) means more frequent refueling stops despite good MPG
- • Basic safety features on entry-level trims (referencing 3-star NCAP without safety pack)
