- The all-new Ignis is a five-door city car that gets stylish SUV looks, a roomy interior, hybrid tech and the option of all-wheel drive. So can this new city car make its mark?
Available in three trim levels, SZ3, SZ-T and range-topping SZ-5, you can pick from two powertrains, two transmissions and two or four-wheel drive.
The Ignis gets a 1.2-litre four-cylinder petrol engine as standard while the range-topping trim is available with a mild hybrid system bolted on with a lithium-ion battery. As standard, it gets a five-speed manual gearbox with a five-speed automatic being a £800 option.
The all-wheel drive system activates as and when required, so the Ignis predominantly remains front-wheel drive until a loss of traction is detected, then the rear wheels are set into action. This is a £1000 option and is only available on range-topping SZ-5 trim.
Adding to the abilities of the Ignis for terrain trickier than Ikea’s car park after a sprinkling of drizzle is a hill decent control and Grip Control. This sends torque to the wheels that need it most and brakes the wheels that are spinning, working at speeds up to 18 mph.
Despite being the entry level version, and steel wheels aside, the SZ-3 gets an impressive amount of standard kit including; DAB radio; Bluetooth; air conditioning; and rear privacy glass.
SZ-T (T for technology) adds; sat nav; a review view camera; a sliding rear and 50/50 splitting seats (only seats 4 rather than five in the SZ3); roof rails; wheel arch extensions; and 16in alloy wheels.
The full pint SZ5 version further adds; LED headlights; front fog lamps; electric rear windows; leather steering wheel; keyless entry and start; automatic air con; and cruise control.
We’re testing the all singing all dancing SZ5 with the hybrid engine and ALLGRIP which costs £13,999. - Авто та транспорт
Reviews are getting better all the time....Keep them coming.
Really good review - thanks
Great review.
Very nice review. Nice car. Thank you.
Great little car, the rear actually looks when it's in red.
The look of the back is softened by getting a rear spoiler ... it makes the look a little less dramatic.
the ignis is a neat little car and i really like the front of it, the back, not so much...
i think the biggest opponent in this category will be the new panda cross, 1.3l 95ps diesel with 4 wheel drive for roughly the same price.
the ignis looks spacy and fresh, the panda on the other hand is a bit more refined all around i think. will be a tough choice, both cars are great! :)

Great review. Any thoughts on the auto version?
Andrew K, Northern Ireland Hi Andrew, thanks for the note and your kind comment. Unfortunately there weren't any automatics on the launch. There was a range of trims and 2wd or 4wd but all were fitted with manual gearboxes. When we get in one I'll come back to you.
That would be great thanks.
Andrew K, Northern Ireland some news on the auto.
Production of the auto versions started later than the manuals however the Suzuki press office has one on order and will advise us when it arrives.
It's the same transmission that's available in the current Celerio, therefore an ASG box which has a hydraulic actuator on the top of the gearbox casing to shift the clutch lever.
Does it have a coolant temperature watch?
do a review on Baleno suzuki
be funny coming this week
be funny here's that Baleno review: ua-cam.com/video/tOtG5HiWWIs/v-deo.html hope you enjoy
You didn't give any details of the hybrid function
Our review of the Ignis will have a few details of the hybrid system. The video will be coming in the next few days.
Would you say this car is practical for two kids and a buggy
Raquel Brown small children and toddlers yes and the boot should take a single buggy, although there won’t be space for much else once it’s in.

Too much noise?
We didn't think so. Have spoken to some journalists who complained about noise on the motorway on a long journey, although, we didn't find it too intrusive.
Driver's Seat ok.☺️
Ignis vs new Swift? Top models, petrol. Which one is a better car. Price is not an issue, Thanks 🚗🚗
The Ignis has lots more character and looks brilliant. Still smile every time one passes by.
A great car but not a real comprehensive review, when simply tootling around a horse racing track! The real world is a network or proper roads.
Not sure which bumps you went over pal lol. Reviewers talk some shite. It's so takkie inside.
