[@Indiawithignis]

Hey bro... Don't underestimate ignis... I have using it for 1 year... I drove 13000 km... No problem yet.. And I have drive in hilli region of himalayas several times... Much better in fuel economy.. Much better torque... Best economic car for a middle class Indian.. Obviously... More the money you drain for car.. More the features you gain.. But what I needed I found in my ignis... I am satisfied with it.. And no trace of doubt

[@RealeaD]

Hi. Thanks for your comment. I am considering to buy Ignis to drive in a rural area with hills in Mongolia 😀 Ignis is not so popular in Mongolia (for now I guess) and I saw Ignis only once or twice and got interested in. More I research more I find it appealing. In case I buy it, I will buy hybrid version which is kind of 4wd from Japan. We mostly import second hand cars from Japan. What is the reliability and built quality in your experience? Another option I am considering is a second hand Toyota Prius 20/30 which is the most driven car in Mongolia. Are you familiar with Prius?

[@Jack_Gatsby]

@@RealeaD if it is made in japan, than you have nothing to worry about. The used cars and electronics from japan are still good. Ignis with AWD or 4WD is just the best in its class. I hope you will get the best out there. Make sure you do proper car inspection before buying it. Bring someone you trust who understands car. My friend has FWD ignis and it can climbs on smooth road very good.

[@Indiawithignis]

@@RealeaD with the constant operation over one year, ignis is basically made for city ride, due to it's less fuel consumption...i have manual patrol version of ignis in overcrowded city like Delhi.. And it is fantastic for fuel economy.. Though I had long travel several times in Himachal pradesh, kashmir and uttarakhand those are in Himalayas, I have drive through kunzum pass greater than 4000 ft, very smooth driving in offroad due to admirable ground clearance... Talking about built quality: it is to be improved( India made).. Mongolian terrain in similar to our ladakh region, where ignis prove itself eligible for driving... Thank you

[@RealeaD]

@@Jack_Gatsby thanks for the reply and your time 👍

[@RealeaD]

@@Indiawithignis thanks for your reply and time. The fact that you drove it in Himalaya region several times caused me to ask a question at the first place. It really sounds convincing. 👍

[@unknownuser6809]

I watch a lot of car reviews. Usually to get off on some sick fantasy that I might actually buy a new car. But this was the funniest car review I’ve seen. Love your work boys

[@gaufrid1956]

My adult son has a 12 year old Suzuki Alto which he bought brand new, and he intends to drive it until it dies, and then buy a Suzuki Ignis. He drives daily from Macquarie Hills in Lake Macquarie to Ramm Botanicals at Kangy Angy on the NSW Central Coast, and he won't even think of anything else but an Ignis. Where he lives the driveway is very steep, and the Ignis is the only small car with enough ground clearance to make it easy to enter the driveway without bottoming. Add to that the fantastic turning circle and it's a no-brainer!

[@Uchiha_Itachi459]

Alto is known as " Lord Alto " in India

[@jankentmann6470]

I´ve been driving the Ignis Hybrid CVT for 3 months now, and ignoring the fact, that you cannot get it here with the full equipment, automatic a/c, cruise control, and keyless go, I absolutely love this wee car. It´s not a racer, for sure, but it´s comfy, spacy, doesn´t need much gas, fits into every parking lot, and is even able to pull my tent-trailer.So, what else do you want? A bonnie wee car. I just can tell, try it, and you will fall in love.

[@maxjulien188]

The 2018 Ignis that I purchased from Japan, has every feature that this one has. Additionally, it is a mild hybrid system that gets me more miles per gallon and launches me from 0-100km in 11.1 seconds. It also has dual camera brake support (DCBS) attached to the front windshield, to warn me in advance of a collision, or to warn me if I accidentally swerve onto another lane. (Lane assist) The dashboard flashes or lights up in a bright red colour in addition to beeping, to alert me to engage the brakes or get back onto my lane. If I do not engage the brakes in time, the computer engages the brakes for me. I absolutely love this feature. Mine also has 4-wheel drive, 360 camera, shifters at the top of the steering wheel, and heated leather seats.

[@andreidieor5387]

4 wheel drive !!! 😮

[@NSWLancer]

I am now on my second Ignis. Bought the first one in 2018, I had a manual Mazda 2, but needed a small automatic to teach my grandson to drive, I had attempted to teach his mother in a manual. At an intersection, I was checking traffic and looked across to see her looking under the steering wheel watching the raising of the clutch. Then in early 2022 I was checking-out cars online and saw one, same spec (incl colour) as the one tested here ready for delivery (unusual what with COVID); could not resist; had to promise the family accountant not to buy another high end video camera or laptop for a couple of years. The car is everything these gentlemen say. I mostly use mine to transport the youngest grandkids to and from school, shopping and shorter (Penrith to Parramatta) volunteer work trips. On the freeway it is great, have experienced it on a not so good road from Nowra to Canberra recently, bumps were felt. What was not mentioned was the speed limiter, a great feature, desirable alternative to cruise control in traffic.

[@wolffury5019]

I drive a July-2022 model Maruti Suzuki Ignis in India with a Peppy 1.2 litre Engine & it's a Front wheel Drive. It is very steady at 80kmph at Highway and DOESN'T BOUNCE if you keep company recommended Tyre Pressure. STEERING is Precise and 180mm GC makes this car bit tall but not so tall. My 83 years old Precious Mother found Ingress and Exit So Easy which is the main criteria for me in choosing Ignis. I am SO HAPPY with my Ignis in Nexa Blue Color 💙

[@jagpreetbrar1413]

❤

[@siamlawma]

i owned ignis for a year now. never regret it

[@bmull81]

Well done guys! Great fun, and informative too. We just bought a (used, 2017) manual shift hybrid 2WD Ignis, and it is delightful. It replaces another Suzi - a Liana - after 20 years of immaculate reliability... Yes, I'd recommend doing a long term Ignis test, they do seem to wear well, and just think of the fun you can have pulling unexpected U-ies! We found a Latin-American site with a comparison of off-road between a slew of cheaper 4WD cars, and their 4WD Ignis was not quite the best at the severe dirt hill-climb test. The trick seems to be to throw it at the hill . . . but then if you have one on long-term you can experiment with different techniques. Thanks!

[@carolinetilbury8787]

It's brilliant, I told my son I was going too buy one of these, he said it will be great for you mum as it's just right for your age. 😂😂😂 He's right, I don't need another fast car! It's so sweet just right for me. So now I'm saving up for one. Thanks boys fie such a brilliant commentary you have sold it for me. 🙏😉

[@fredhicks7483]

Do you live in cool weather? The hybrid system doesn't work when it's below about 8C. Really irritating.

[@samikbasu2155]

Proud owner of Suzuki Ignis in India. But we do miss many advance features offered Globally by Suzuki.

[@eagle1effi]

Very fine Review. 5 gears is great also. Have one with Hybrid System 3.1 hp. Highest Trim Level. About 40.000 km. Love it. Hill Assistent is my favorite.

[@greyandblue4323]

I have one, same colour, best two things are...I get 58 mpg even with the cvt version and my dog adores it. Perfect shopping and runaboutery little car.

[@Quokka_VR]

Brilliant & hilarious review... I almost want to go and buy one!

[@Exceltiaawesome]

I bought a used 2021 GLX recently with 54000km on the odometer as my first car! As a fairly nervous (yet decently experienced) driver I found this so much easier and less nerve-wracking to drive than a standard hatchback or SUV. Especially with the tiny parking space I have at home. The amount of visibility I have, being seated higher up, makes me feel quite confident on the roads and it comfortably sits both my 6'2 (188cm) boyfriend and our 5'10 (1.78cm) heavy-set best friend on weekend road trips across Victoria, along with all of our various belongings. My boyfriend will soon be doing his driving lessons, and ultimately his driving test in my car too (thankfully I am fully insured for this purpose) and I feel like it would be the perfect starter car for him as a new driver to share with me.

[@nishagarwal7797]

Bro I've already driven this car for 100000 km,no problem

[@xeniosaias]

You guys are hilarious, I love your reviews. As for the car I am 1.95cm and seriously loved it for its interior. Seriously I wouldnt mind having one!

[@petermedhurst6089]

I have a 2018 Ignis from new, awesome car done 32k miles and still love it

[@parshakamarsh]

I've had one for nearly 3 years now and it's a great little city car with occasional longer runs. It's fun, really economical, and rarely for a car of this size, a nice high seating position which is great for mobility issues. I'll probably get a new one next year

[@randy_sl8585]

I have mt ignis 73k km and still going. Using for almost 5 years. No problem at all

[@johnblythman542]

With everyone buying bigger cars the Ignis is perfect for nipping through the gaps, getting my second one this week they are that good

[@stewartwatson5466]

W e have owned 3 Suzuki's we now have a 2023 Ignis we are 78 years old have only done 1024 Ks so far and love every thing about except for the suspension its a little hard but we intend looking into that if you looking for a small car don't pass having a drive of the Suzuki Ignis it could be just what you want

[@tiguidong1]

Excellent ! So fun to watch ! Great review ! Bravo !

[@ondrejtarcal6909]

I own the first gen with the 1.3 M13A engine, it makes 68kw and jeez it's so much quicker than this and even heavier. That CVT is really killing it

[@Joel-sr9qh]

Great review! I just ordered one of these last week. Looking forward to its arrival!

[@TheWahyuwirawan]

it's a great city car or micro suv like somesay. It's compact, fuel efficient and the departure angle is quite high for its size never been stucked while other minis did (like brio, agya or old yaris). So good and looks like suzuki still making formula for the next gen (we got only facelifted so far from a 2015-ish first batch)

[@campbellreither550]

waaaaaaaay tooooooo expensive. They used to sell for about $17,000. Suzuki are seriously taking the piss. Jacked up prices all round and they are not worth it!

[@wosamosman9814]

Agreed. For the prices they're asking I'd rather import a Suzuki Xbee or Hustler as they come with mild hybrid plus 4wd if optioned ( Hustler got a turbo 660cc engine but the Xbee got the 1 Litre 3 Cyl turbo in the Swift )

[@Nancy-pt7hi]

I genuinely love ALL Suzuki cars! ❤❤❤

[@letsdrive6606]

Never underestimate this small car, I have been using it for the last 2 years in India. It's awesome

[@arianbardez7149]

The Only Problem I feel about the Suzuki Ignis is that the Length should have been 3900mm - ie. 10cm more in the Reardoor and Backseat space. And 10cm more in the Bootspace. That would have been Perfect.

[@javinx21]

amazing review!

[@petergibson2318]

Great review. I think my next car will be an Ignis. The thing that most surprised me was the countryside in that part of Australia. It doesn't look very "Australian" (like the Nullarbor Desert). It looks just like here in Ireland. Even the rain obliged and gave the car a good drenching. P.S. If you paint the spare wheel black (to match the other wheels) nobody will notice that you are using it. LOL.

[@wakeupcall2665]

Living in the Bavarian Forest mountain range, a 4x4 for me and my dogs is extreme appealing! It is different, funky, ugly and cute ant the same time. It actually causes emotions. Fabulous!

[@bonnong]

I hv Ignis for 3yrs. Still feel like new one.

[@countrychef29]

i remember selling these when they first came out and they were a great little fun car. But i would keep them to the city, i found very floaty over 80kph on the hightway.

[@CarSauce]

Haven’t changed, then!

[@wolffury5019]

It is not floaty or Bouncy in Highway if you keep recommended Air Pressure!

[@jbjb3372]

Great review. I almost want to go and have a look at one!!

[@thrasher613]

This car is not for me but your review makes me want to go out and drive one. It looks super fun! Too bad they do not have any in my country. Another great review gents!

[@letsseeif]

Welcome back to Oz Matt. And Jacob thanks for holding the fort (not fart). Wish Ignis had a digital speed dislay 'cos as I get older, I rely on it compared with a clockshape device.(speedo I think). And. How does it stack up against the Kia Picanto, one of the last cars in this segment even though I recognise the Ignis is actually an SUV, albeit a very small one.

[@annsmith5377]

Car for someone not trying too hard to prove something ❤ I have one love it ❤️

[@theadoresmith2777]

Very good review ... takes the mickey as well. Great! "Factory optioned with asthma " ... a little underpowered?

[@nurglesgrin8257]

Very entertaining guys 😂

[@givensur4982]

It's a four-wheel motorcycle.😅 But, in fact, it has almost twice the displacement compared to Japanese Kei cars.

[@gourabdeb895]

Milage how much with full ac?

[@CarSauce]

Read the full written review (with some extra insights!): www.carsauce.com

[@gokulv6172]

Only cons i find is lower thigh support in rear seat & yes agreed harder suspension to avoid wobbling for tall boy cars, but still could have been little softer. Also would recommend to have Bridgestone tyres with more wheel base, gives more confidence when moving above 100 kmph( downside drop in mileage), still easy drive car

[@fredhicks7483]

I've had the car (cvt) since Nov 2023. Overall I like it.....just wish the hybrid system worked in cool weather (under 7C for me). Seems an issue with all of the cars....although for some that temperatur cutoff is a little lower than mine.

[@SLIDESHIFT]

Love your content guys! More reviews to come.

[@Heroji04]

Two vehicles that i love from suzuki- ignis and jimny

[@chowettgoes]

Simply brilliant review 👏 loved it and want an Ignis now

[@DashRendar308]

Its much cheaper than the competition and you even get a four cylinder. Most other tiny SUVs get turbo charged three cylinders or crap like that.

[@Midlife_mike]

The slats on the side are from the Suzuki Wizkid back in the day. Also; this channel needs so many more subscribers such a good channel!

[@Syulang-nt4kj]

I wish we had the hybrid and AWD versions here.

[@letni9506]

There's something that puts me off looks wise. The Adidas stripe doesn't need to be there and it just looks a bit off at the back end from the side view. For some reason though it looks better in white. I was quite tempted but in the end preferred the swift.

[@encoreartz1028]

I love mine. Got at the end of 2022. Zippy little car.

[@radissimo1]

Love the design, I would buy it with 100+ kW engine

[@xclusive2b]

most hilarious and amusement review have watched by far ! :)

[@MrRaysweet]

First time on Ur channel and to be honest. You make too much unnecessary noise & clearly pass too much comments as well. It get annoying 3mins into the video. Thanks

[@waleniafs]

90hp in that thing, on 900kg is great

[@gunlock111]

suzuki ultra boost , lightweight good runner it is for sure 😏😏 Great work guys.

[@jamesz7743]

Is it a safe car? How many stars it get in ANCAP test?

[@ashutoshshahi9321]

The avg India weighs around 60 kgs and is about 5'7 5'8 so this is ideal for Indians even the Japanese, don't know who they expect to sell this in Australia. Then again the Asian population in Australia would absolutely love this car, it's practical, economic and sensible.

[@steamedtiger5223]

the shock harder? I had 2019 very hard

[@Mkhehla]

I can't get over the Adidas reference😅

[@stefanogoldoni5059]

Have you tried the AllGrip version?

[@Daytona53]

Love your channel. Do you reckon you could do a review of the Suzuki Baleno?

[@ydmf2]

Love it👍

[@vishnunaik5632]

Good impression 🎉🎉

[@breeana2879]

And this is hilariously good review 😂

[@eyebeesindia]

I am a very happy owner in India❤❤... But here it's highly underrated 😢

[@wolffury5019]

I love my July-2022 model Ignis Sigma in Nexa Blue color 💙

[@azairaza]

Mine is December 2022 Sigma Nexa Blue!! We are car buddies!!@@wolffury5019

[@avm6638]

Soy de la CD de México. Tengo un ignis ya tiene 180mil km. Y anda como pumita. Volvería a tener otro sin dudarlo!!

[@bostjanerjavec4146]

I love this car:)))

[@oladokunsamuel5923]

This car is very practical !

[@a64738]

With such a low weight of 865kg why is it so slow 0-100 with 90hp? It seems very strange, no torque? My 1993 Opel Astra 970kg 100hp did 0 to 100 in 11 seconds and this is one second slower. When that is said it looks like a fun little car :) I look forward to test drive it as my mom is baying one and get it next week. I on the other hand plan on buying a older Porsche Cayman, cost only 5000 $€£ more (but a lot more expensive to own and it is a 30.000 engine repair ticking time bomb...)

[@kevincroft9848]

Thankyou for reviewing this Suzuki Ignis . Ido like it . Very practical car good handling a little on the small size for to be called a s u v . But it is a small nice looking s u v. I would like to buy one for next time . Good all round car Kevin from UK 🇬🇧 Manchester Radcliffe England

[@bobjea]

Interesting as waiting for car, CVT mild hybrid, to be put on boat from Japan to UK that the Australian import has a new infotainment screen to what I am expecting. Is this an Indian built Ignis.

[@AmbientBeat99]

Australian Ignis is built in Japan.

[@bobjea]

@@AmbientBeat99 Is it a new infotainment screen or one that was fitted due to shortage of parts?

[@PeterPanQuails]

Wish Suzuki would import the XBee to Australia. It's also a compact car but more spacious and versatile.

[@chrispbacon3042]

A car so silly looking it is actaully quite appealing. I like the little box on wheels.

[@teampatsy9856]

Can you guys review the SUZUKI SPACIA

[@JohnnyFD]

I really like these light weight cars. It's like a Miata. This is all 99% of people need.

[@Luceq]

If they imported the awd version, would it be a "SUV?" (ps. id totally buy a awd one for a city runnabout/tiny surf van/pps. the first gen 90s ingnis was awd)

[@JaimeeTyrell]

Only available with a hybrid and a CVT in my country.

[@waleniafs]

Was that a tiny pop from the exhaust????

[@muhammadmusthafan1955]

Which Country is this?

[@jamesz7743]

This car made in Japan or other Asia countries?

[@bent2153]

Just wondering why every car tested needs to be performance tested to it's limits? Not everyone will drive their cars like this. Wouldn't it be more useful for viewers to see the car driven at a proving ground and relevant tests conducted in a more meaningfully way and evaluated according to their intended design and market segmentation?

[@j.s.haller2244]

😂😂... They are just being honest, that's how you make a review. Totally funny guys. Anyway i got one today, and i'm proud of it.

[@vishal9676]

From what angle it looks SUV ?

[@stevemunene4034]

not a lightweight SUV but definitely a small car with a personality you can't overlook. Yes! I said it 🤣🤣🤣

[@Bigcountry_littlelegs]

The ignis and jimny are fun cars to drive

[@khodakara7879]

"Door opens 90 bloody degrees "😂

[@piti6678]

so cute ❤

[@pradeepmagan6951]

this would make a good EV

[@freddiejones2551]

Though u guys loved the Ignis but gives it a slap on the Picanto vid. 0-60 of the 1 litre new Picantgo is so slow it that I seen slugs walk faster. We got new Suzuki so we looked at the Swifty and the Ignis. The Ignis was more practical but I ain't buying that. No way no how. So got the Swifty. U boys doing the Swifty?

[@chriskross1660]

Suzuki understand ... a lightweight car with good settings and very practical. No Sportscar as well but we can buy enough sports car today but a good 4 seat practical city car ? thats great. I love this Ignis, I would buy one when I don't own my nice Smart 4two (451) from 2012.

[@zandahstarick1136]

I believe the new yet shitter displays are as a result of the shortage of chips or something?? Similar to why the Kia carnival came with analog gauges on the top spec in Australia but not anywhere else

[@nischal1848]

To all the Indians this is not India made Ignis this is for the global market so a whole lot different, with different specs, different engine and whole lot better build quality.

[@DaxterSnickers]

The Ignis is an unknown diamond.

[@carlobi]

Driving this thing to the limit while staying within the speed limit is better than driving something 10x more powerful and not being able to legally use the performance you payed for.

[@robrob4753]

The 1.0L Glx turbo would do wonders in the ignis, not sure why Suzuki haven't done it yet.

[@derhkist]

Because turbo engines have their own issues. If it was turbo I wouldn't have bought one.
