My daily drive is a 25 year old Suzuki, the most reliable and cheap to maintain car I’ve ever owned, and I’ve owned VW, mini, and Pajero. About to buy my wife a car in this segment, and we test drove them all, Ignis was the best. The UP has the well built feel VW offers, but lacks space, low on the road and has back windows that are fixed and cannot wind down, even on the 4 door. Ignis has auto windows all around and more space. Most importantly for me, I looked in the engine bay and was relieved to find an easy to access, simple engine to work on, so when 5 years is up, I can personally maintain the car if we choose to continue with it. I believe the UP is belt driven, so you can bet when your 3 years are up, the compulsory belt change at 90 000 km is gonna set you back some cash. Ignis is chain driven, probably lasts 200 000 km plus if car maintained well. Our VW polo hatch gave us wheel bearing humming issues all its time with us, and I believe VW has a general problem with this in their hatches, so expect the UP to do the same.
Many complains about the back side of the ignis, but it's cool in fact it's just crying out for spoilers, sport wheels and some front fenders. It's a bit like the FIAT 🐼 in oriental style.
I personally would take the Ignis. I however am biased. I own a Swift and love it. Also, my parents haven't had the best experience with VW. But it's just me :) Up is far from a bad car!
One should not underestimate the Fuel consumption in that Up! Its ridiculously good and is the only car that can actually do better than what VW actually claim. I've seen better than 4.6 to the 100!!!!
I’m currently 18 years of age and I must say I absolutely adore my 2015 VW UP! (Style edition). It just offers so much in a small package. With a beautiful rumble on start up as well as when you put your foot down. The Suzuki just seems incredibly boring compared to the UP!
I like the Suzuki's front end but the overall shape of the car just seems a little weird. The interior feels spartan because of the minimalistic center stack. Like Suzuki just slapped a tablet on there.
Mini cooper founder name is Sir Alec issigonis. Is name ignis related to Issigonis? But the purpose he made mini is to create cheap small good gasoline cunsumption car. Same with my ignis. I use this ignis in indonesia petrol tipe since 2018 that use AGS matic transmition that actualy manual transmition with computer so has only two pedal. Very valueble money car with price same as the cheapest toyota or daihatsu car in indonesia we get the Nexa car branded from suzuki in india. Imported to indonesia. Very top in gasoline consumption in indonesia 17 km/ L in trafic jam, quiet car , good looking exterior and nice interior design, we get extrem Air conditioner panel, LCD monitor music player JVC. I like using AGS transmition we can use manual that can fast aceleration in city and use automatic mode in highway. In maintanance fee and oil is 1/ 3 daihatsu or toyota. Body plat ignis is so thick, more thick than the highest price Toyota car Fortuner SUV. Ground clearence is high so match with the majority bad road in my country. Before i use Daihatsu Sirion hathback low ground clearance that often body repair because road condition. Since 2018 until now 40.000 km
A months worth of groceries....provided you don't have any dependents. Thanks, that gave me a laugh. BTW, I am surprised that the quoted trunk space for the Suzuki is (marginally) greater, sure you got that correct?
Compare standard safety equipment, Ncap ratings, resale value, amount of service centres. Compared both with road tests. Vw built quality excellent. Suzuki felt like cheap budget car.
VWs are known to fall apart. Suzuki may not have that percieved premium feel but without question will outlast a comparable VW and cost less to maintain.
2020 /2021 facelift Ignis III is great. In highest trim Level 5 stars for Security. Now with Mild Hybrid 11% better fuel consumption, 3.9l. New powertrain and better climate scores.
No. At the end of the day you need a safe car. The Ignis, with only 2 airbags and no traction or stability control, falls far short of the modern norm. It may be better in certain areas, but the lack of safety equipment makes it impossible to recommend. And for not pointing that fundamental difference out, this review gets a zero.
Up was such a piece of trash. Boring to drive, suv seating position and driving dynamics, deliberately designed to make you take it to the dealership instead of diy and they cant even cover up metal on doors. Lazy lazy lazy design but people praise it cause it has a vw badge. Meanwhile suzuki is actually good, fun, light, engaging, reliable and easy to work on. Frankly everyone who gets an up is a fool.
its city cars which you mentioned many many times ,so why not give us the consumption figures for city driving, also we dont care about the comfort on a long boring road, again how are they in the city, pointless review

Nice review with a clear and concise presenter thanks.
Great review!
Great review! I like the new guy 👍
Starting to really love him

Agreed. VW’s are hugely overrated.
One should not underestimate the Fuel consumption in that Up! Its ridiculously good and is the only car that can actually do better than what VW actually claim. I've seen better than 4.6 to the 100!!!!
A very good and decent review. Cheers!!!!

I love my ignis car
Same here
UP! GTI would be my pick.
John Grytbakk The GTi isnt a budget car though, its going to cost at least 50% more than a basic UP!
Until the engine blows...?
Actually the rear seats allow for a heap of headroom and legroom..
The Suzuki looks cute from the front but holy crap the back ha ha ha ha
Cool dude. Nice review.
The Ignis is a very good fun car 🚙
Informative, thank you
Vw up! LOGIC.!!!!!
Why was nothing said about the Up 5 star safety rating? Rather go for the better solid built UP!
VWs are not well made. They look well made but do not last very long without incuring huge maintenace costs!
Love the susuki
Great review I like the up where is ciro de siena I'm missing his reviews 😢
Great review, well done.
nice review .. {india}
बहुत सुंदर
Well done Fransisco again.
Driving Comfort is approved, 2020/2021 upgraded.
Hello, i was watching all the channel videos they are so professional, great job but, can we get a Mercedes A45 Amg full review?!
Great review
My opinion sazuki is the value of money.
I like the Suzuki's front end but the overall shape of the car just seems a little weird. The interior feels spartan because of the minimalistic center stack. Like Suzuki just slapped a tablet on there.
Wish you threw in the Hyundai Grand i10 though
Very good review
Nice n practical comparison.
great review

Does anyone know the song at 1:38?
Why doesn't he get in the back sooo we can see the legroom space ???
This guy is great
Susuki for peace of mind. Modern VW's are nothing but headaches.
I like this guy!
Do review on ford figo 2019
I'm sure that Trevor McDoughnuts son ..great review Suzuki for me vw up looks old

Awesome review! I'll take the Ignis thank you 👏🏽
2020 /2021 facelift Ignis III is great.
In highest trim Level 5 stars for Security. Now with Mild Hybrid 11% better fuel consumption, 3.9l.
New powertrain and better climate scores.
Nice video. Short n swt.. :)
Ignis. No contest,
IGNIS
to understand the Ignis look, take a look at his grandpa, the Suzuki Sc-100 / Cervo
A VW consuming less fuel than a Suzuki?!😲
Yes remember it's a 1.0
Mate you could have put your seat back in the up.
No. At the end of the day you need a safe car. The Ignis, with only 2 airbags and no traction or stability control, falls far short of the modern norm.
It may be better in certain areas, but the lack of safety equipment makes it impossible to recommend.
And for not pointing that fundamental difference out, this review gets a zero.
They all have ESP and an equal amount of airbags vs the UP.
The rear of the Suzuki though... Looks like a dog about to take a sh...
CPT_ROB First time I saw it I thought someone had crashed into the back of it.
LMAO 😂😂😂😂

that suzuki is abit different then the up or i10 it's looking cool I must say
Suzuki is very bad car
The Front grill and three extra Assistent Systems make Suzuki perfect now. In Europe.
The UP! Just handles waaaaaay better.
I am over six feet tall with looong legs. There is no contest for me. The Ignis is the roomiest small car that I have ever driven.
suzuzi I love Me Car :D
Why don't you wear REAl shoes.
if you buy a vw product in sa then don't complain when its stolen....
For a second I thought that was the bmw i3...
Suzo bolji 100%
its city cars which you mentioned many many times ,so why not give us the consumption figures for city driving, also we dont care about the comfort on a long boring road, again how are they in the city, pointless review
I’m
Should I trade my Fiat 500 for an ignis!! The back is so ugly
The Up! is a lot safer.
Theshen Thaver and cheaper
Both these cars are stupid expensive for what they offer
Suzuki 2020/2021 facelift with Highest trim level will win now clearly.
11% less fuel efficiency. Better Mildhybrid now.
Go Suzuki, awesome.
Drive a swift and i might get an ignis for my wife
i'm tryin to understand why wou'd i pay 190 grand for a Suzuki...! /...let alone pay 170 grand for a vw 1 liter engine......
Suzuki cheap quality and vw high quality craftsmenship is obviois
Suzuki is tier 2 company which manufacture shit.
You know shit about cars. Suzuki will outlast and cost half the amount to maintain than VW who are masters of perception deception.
Wish they sold the awd ignis in africa
Out of these two, ignis wins IMHO.
Suzuki is a joke 😂😂😂
No people who think VW is a good reliable long lasting product area joke.
Dont let this guy to make a review, he is not real...he should talking about mobiles
How much is Suzuki paying you?
He said the Suzuki is an SUV.
Great review.
