The Suzuki Ignis is one of the quirkiest cars on sale today. It combines the Japanese company's small-car expertise and 4x4 know-how into one package. While the name is a blast from Suzuki's past (most notably on the rally-inspired Ignis Sport), the current Ignis is a car that trades on its style, as it really stands out from the crowd.
Supposedly inspired by the Whizzkid coupe of the late 1970s, the main talking point is the raked rear windscreen and the design of the C-pillars. Combine this with the chunky wheelarches and distinctive front end, and there really isn't any other car on the road that looks like the Ignis.
At a time where living costs are rising and cars are becoming more expensive with each generation, the Ignis is a genuine breath of fresh air - it offers everything a city car should at a reasonable price, and it's a shame that few other manufacturers are building such affordable machines in 2023.

Can you imagine what someone looking back on our driving habits would say 50 years from now... 'what, they used to take a 50k,. two tonne suv that did 20mpg, 1 mile to drop off a kid at school, then go and pick them up again 6 hours later' The world has gone mad. Well done on showcasing smaller cars!

Having previously worked in the car trade (over 10 years) selling nearly new cars and drove pretty much every car on the road under £70k, I don't think any other car has put a smile on my face quite like the Ignis.

[@robsmall6466]

Our roads are small. Car park spaces are tiny. On street parking difficult to find. A lot of us spend our drives in cars alone. So what to we do ? Force everyone to purchase an SUV ( by deliberately discontinuing alternatives ) to push through the electric agenda. There were loads of cars like these just a few years ago. Affordable transport for new drivers, people on a budget or people who just wanted a simple car. Well done greed. You've got the world you wanted through the green con.

[@rogerc4963]

Thanks for waking up to the big con. We need more people like you. They want to price us out of car ownership through the climate agenda. All that “own nothing and be happy” malarkey.

[@johnmoore2342]

Plus, the larger the car, the more fuel it consumes, the more tyre particulates it spreads, the more damage it does to the roads, the more it encourages pavement parking, etc., etc. ad infinitum.

[@robsmall6466]

@@rogerc4963 The sensible thing would of been to allow petrol, diesel, hybrid, electric, hydrogen and anything else that comes along to coexist. Then if you want to by all means purchase an electric SUV. But they don't want that because they know if a petrol alternative for example is demonstrably better value those expensive electric SUV are going to sit there and go nowhere and in a year and a half be discontinued like any other struggling model. So they fix the game and do untold damage in the process

[@baronvonjo1929]

Here in the US we did have a period where there were many options of different body styles, sizes,and pricing. Everyone went for crossovers. So here I would say it's definitely was because of the consumer choice. But tbh the smaller cheap stuff like Fiesta, Sonic, Spark, etc etc were really crap. Plastic fantastic. Low features and low safety. Plus people who could throw 16k ish on what the card cost new could afford something much nicer to be realistic. Automakers barely tried here. The styling was also bad on most of them. CAFE regulations and small profit margins helped kill them off.

[@robsmall6466]

@@baronvonjo1929 Assuming your Fiesta is the same as the UK Fiesta. That being the case can't say they are crap. Renowned as being good drivers cars. Interior is fine. Nothing outstanding but practical. As for safety they are perfectly safe. Is this due to it being a small car ? That's a misnomer in that case. We have motorways with 70mph limits and small cars are perfectly safe. It's how you drive and not what you drive. Modern safety scores are also skewed towards things like lane keeping assist etc. If a car doesn't have it then down goes the score.

[@anthonystevens8683]

A former work colleague has one of these and is very happy with it. OK it's about the size of a shoe on the outside but as you mention Suzuki have managed to make the most of the available space. If most of the time you don't need the extra space and do general commutes these cars could suite most of us. With city traffic slower than a triffid in a cracked plant pot and country lanes with err hmmm.... drivers that drive very, very carefully heading up a long tailback of cars, vans, tractor and the afore mentioned triffid there are fewer opportunities to really use the performance of most cars. It does not matter if 0-60 is in double figures. If like my former work colleague you need the extra space on occasion a roof box is available. Just take it off when you don't need it. Note, no triffids were harmed during the making of this post. Thanks for sharing Nicola.

[@Rapscallion2009]

They're actually pretty charming vehicles. I've driven them as they're like an original mini or fiat 500. They're just cheerful to drive. And you feel very socially responsible, too. If everyone drove a car like this, the roads would be emptier, traffic jams shorter and the air clearer.

I have a Citroën C1. I don't love it, but it's all the car I actually need. I question whether someone who drives, say, a Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV, really needs all that much car or, if by buying a huge electric car, are really doing anything "planet-friendly" either. I don't think my conscience would allow me to drive around in something so grossly unnecessary. A Suzuki Ignis driver, on the other hand, has my respect.

[@callsigncrusader9877]

Your thought is quite impressive

[@f.c.2475]

spoken like a poor person. These small cars do more damage than you wish to accept. These are made Cheap, made to be cheap - now go and try making something that is cheaper than the rest of the cheap alternative in the market. You will very quickly find out how dangerous this "cheap product" mentality is. They have it they can buy an EQS, you can't. Don't bring your conscience into this. you surely have things that most people in the world can't afford, Where did that conscience go when buying those things ?

[@joshbrailsford]

@@f.c.2475 do more damage to what? And we're only talking relative to big cars here. That was kinda the focus of this video. If you have some general hatred of small cars, why did you watch the video? Anyway, cars - and other things - that are designed to be cheap, are better than cars not designed to be cheap but made cheap. Compare, say, the Aygo/C1/107 with some Eastern Bloc car from the 1990s. Both cheap, not both good. I remember Top Gear's review of the Aygo - they pointed out the cost-cutting (not "corner-cutting") measures taken to make it a cheap car, but not a bad one. E.g., single front wiper, single tailgate strut, pop-out rear windows, no redundant electronics, etc. That's what makes a good small car, not a lack of investment in passive safety or production tolerances like those Eastern Bloc cars.

[@f.c.2475]

@@joshbrailsford nice of you to assume that I have a general hatred for small cars. Small cars that are well designed does not include cars like Ignis. Minis are small, Alfa Mito is small, Fiat 500 is small. These have some standards, way more than ignis or such cars can claim. So, yes cars like Ignis are just made to fill the roads "each house with a car". No need. And I also commented on your Pure-Consciousness. Would like a response on that too, since you must be a really good person. And one more thing about that "planet friendly", if EQS doesn't do anything friendly ? But there's only few EQS, ignis might be "eco friendly" in your mind, but there 100s of ignis for every EQS. Rendering your claim hollow.

What is there not to love about this car? Its perfect for cities and towns. Fuel efficient, compact, has all the must have features you would need in a car. I do not own one but my wife does. I myself drive a much bigger and heavier vehicle but I often love taking out this one. If you have the means I would say own a large car like an SUV/MPV and a small car like the Ignis. This car can get things done in less half the time I can with my big car. Parking in small, tight spaces? No problem. Narrow lanes? No problem. Definitely a great buy as a second car or a first car for anyone.

[@stevenbrooks3573]

Got one of these in the same colour. Great fun to drive, old school, a bit like an original mini. Easy to throw around the narrow lanes here in north Norfolk. Ground clearance is good for such a small car.

I have one - months now. This is a very honest review. My Ignis is a delight to drive - mainly being small and light - but is absolutely just as good on the long run to Truro where my Daughter lives as the bigger, thirstyer, Vitara we had before. And its big enough for three adults and a weekends luggage. 4 would be - interesting - but we don't have 4... Most of the time close to 60 mpg in real life motoring. On the long motorway trip 54 mpg without going slowly.

[@markpedley6133]

Incredible I've had 3 small Suzuki's as a second car since 1996 with the latest being a Suzuki Celerio purchase new late 2015. These cars are incredibly reliable, incredibly cheap to run and seem to last forever even when treated as a functional tool with little live. They were incredibly cheap to buy and journalists never reported them for what we're with semi bad reviews! Move forward to 2023, the price has rocketed, the build and all the goodness about them is as always been and a journalist says how marvelous they are! Seems the lesson from journalists to Suzuki is bang up your prices and we will sing the praises!

[@Jay-B1750]

The dealer I take my car to is a multi brand site and gave me a 66plate one a few years back, it was surprisingly fun to drive i think it was a 1.2 DualJet, I think you've hit the nail on the head, we need some more basic vehicles that just do the job, everything has to be premium and fancy these days!

[@NSWLancer]

Don't only use mine as a city car. Top of the line in Aust so no hybrid, but gets 5 km/100l even on long freeway drives at 110 kph, and the seats are comfortable, same colour, looks like a shrunken bushmaster. Really appreciate limiter and cruise control. Have to do the run Sydney - Canberra often. limiter to Mittagong then cruise control to Canberra. Not bad on mountain roads either, enough power and roll is not much if you are carrying luggage. Runs rough on 91 but smooth on E10, 94. Great car.

This car is just a bliss to drive, maintain and just to live with.. so comfy, has all the creature comforts (you actually need), the manual is good, has a lot of space, goes offroad, is reliable, has plenty power in traffic/city and then after all this, gives you 50mpg.

It makes me really happy to know they offer this with a 660cc engine in Japan, so that it can fit under the kei classes. It’s tiny and stupidly lightweight to begin with, and then to have it offered with such a small yet (…comparatively) powerful engine is fairly good tbh!!

[@sonicboyPT]

I have owned one for almost two years and I love it (previously had a BMW 3 series van and VW Golf). I drive mostly on very twisty mountainous roads, sometimes a bit of mild offroad. I love the looks, it has character, and reminds me of suzuki Jimny, Fiat Panda and other iconic fun cars with no nonsense that become classics. Also considered the Dacia Sandero, a brilliant car, but more expensive. It is small but I can fit 2 large surfboards inside or my road bicycle with rear seats folded. The fact it's very light and has thinner wheels makes it very fun to drive. I didn't know about this car, but when I saw one I was instantly sold on it. Sometimes I do longer trips on highways (once a month) and that is the only occasion where its shortcomings are obvious. It does the job and is fuel efficient tough.

[@arianbardez7149]

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

[@mattw7986]

Hi from the UK. I absolutely love my 2017 Ignis: it costs peanuts to run (average high 50s mpg with mixed driving, very reliable etc), great ground clearance and cavernous interior for such a tiny car, extremely nimble and personally I really like the somewhat contentious and 'quirky' looks.. but for the sake of balance, it's true to say that compared to a lot of modern cars it possesses the rigidity of an empty crisp packet and gets blown around by the wind like one too! As a city car (which to be fair, is what it's marketed as) it makes perfect sense for most people if you use it primarily for short/slow A to B journeys but for me, I also use it a lot on dual carriageways on my daily commute and despite the aforementioned liabilities regarding it's light construction, it's perfect for me too. Maybe it's because I also ride a motorbike I'm not quite as concerned with it's less than perfect crash protection and am used to 'defensive' riding/driving but if you have concerns about it's crash protection at higher speeds and regularly go long distances, especially if you regularly have passengers (I drive solo 99% of the time), it's probably best to look elsewhere. Otherwise, amazing little car!

[@shankarbalan3813]

Suzuki’s KeI cars took the ‘Mini’ concept to a whole new level. And we must appreciate Suzuki for that! They are great cars. Totally reliable. Absolute value for money. Suzuki’s space design and engineering is typically Japanese. Do much more with much less. Very good cars. Well Done Suzuki!

The problem with cars today is that people expect all cars to be built to the same spec as a 'luxury' car. 20 years ago a Corsa or Fiesta was filled with 'scratchy plastics' and nobody complained. The other issue is that a car with 'scratchy plastics' back then was less than £10K now it's double that, so I guess people better quality for the higher price.

[@megapangolin1093]

This is where driving should be going. Small, simple practical and low environmental impact. To influence the future of driving, discourage people from cruising around in vast SUVs with a smug grin on their face. Driving should be done with the least impact. Why does one person need a 2.5-3 tonnes behemoth to go to the shops/pick up the kids/commute? This car can hit 70mph, so why hundreds and hundreds of bhp in most cars? They don't offer anything over what this can. If one has any morals, this is the car to buy. Don't make cars an expensive delight to drive, make it a bit more basic and people will drive for necessity, not excess. Great message, great car. Also Suzuki produces cars that in another universe would be considered prestige, ie they are reliable. BMW and Mercedes also Range Rover are disastrously unreliable, like an old FIAT, so why are they prestige? History, from when they were actually good, and a bit of leather and wood (how original).

[@MrSensible2]

Actually the car us economically challenged Brits need is not the £16k 50mpg Suzuki Ignis but the £8k, 70mpg Suzuki Celerio. I've driven the car for a couple of months in South Africa where they come with Brit-friendly right-hand drive. The range starts at R183,900. The car screams 'budget & basic' but as the nation regresses back to the 1970s, maybe it will fit right in!

[@Stolas9]

Our family has 3 members, so we didn't wanted something big, a small car is more than enough for us. So I started looking up small cars and this Ignis was definitely on the list as the potential winner. Eventually we bought a Mazda 2. In my humble opinion, it's the best small car money can buy. It costs only a few thousands euro more than the Ignis, but the quality increase is absolutely worth it. We are extremely satisfied with this Mazda 2, it's quiet, it's comfortable, even in winter it eats only 5,6 liter/100 km, the 90 HP is more than enough for everything. I've looked up other small cars too but nothing comes close to this, even though that other cars costs more. This Ignis is still a great car, it's just my opinion about the topic.

[@albertov9664]

I got a Suzuki Jimny by coincidence, just looking to downgrade from a big 4x4. After a short while we understood Suzuki´s philosophy, and man, they are right, no nonsense, not expensive, reliable cars with everything you actually need and not many fail points from stuff you don´t need. (Jimny is not expensive compared to comparable 4x4s). Now we have 2 Suzukis on the driveway (hybrid Swift) and couldn´t be happier. As an engineer, "modern" cars make no sense to me: fail points on wheels; the fact that you can automate something doesn´t mean you should do it and doesn´t make it better.

[@dwm1943]

Cutest small car on the road. I fancied one, had a test drive, but went for the Suzuki Swift mild hybrid instead, because of that little bit of roll in the corners that the Ignis has. I love my Swift; more fun (even) than the Mazda MX-5 I had owned previously. Next car? Same tough decision, I expect.

I'm 63, and I remember my Uncle and Aunt and their Lloyd, and another Uncle/Aunt pairing and their NSU Prinz 4 and the neighbour's - two obese adults and three kids - Fiat 600 and our own VW Beetle 1200. And I remember how we all went where we wanted, when we wanted. Didn't need a 2,2 tonnes, airconditioned, 300 horsepower behemoth for that.

We need this in Canada

My SV5 does around 65mpg. £35 to fill the tank and you get around 350/370 miles before the next refill.

[@nanayawkoreebrako]

Can it go on long journeys and rough roads?

What is the best car cheap car for commuting? like 10 km through country roads and then 35 km on the motorway

[@SimpliciusTeutsch]

I always have the impression that the English drive on the wrong side. That being said, I ordered the Ignis this week.

Why does fashion dictate that we all drive around on stilts?

[@baronvonjo1929]

We are just returning to how cars originally were for decades. You ever seen them at the start of the 20th century?

[@johnmoore2342]

@@baronvonjo1929 So the Model T was like an F150?

Just bought a Jimny. Low tech, simple, tough, practical … I don’t want to drive a game console … I want somethin simple, that will last… Had a Jeep, absolute junk as the tech didn’t work …

Recently got one in October. Very zippy car . Zip zap through anywhere without headache. 182 km/pH is max speed though i won't recommend. Just touched for 2 seconds. You can easily maintain 90-100 km on highway. Space is surprisingly adequate.

Cars have got toooo big and toooo expensive, great video by someone with a cheeky personality, bit like the car.

I hav top range cvt and was surprised it did not have heated mirrors or intermittent rear wash wipe.

In the middle of fighting with the local Suzuki dealer about the hybrid performance....as in it doesn't work. According to the dealer, if the oil temp isn't warm enough the hybrid won't kick in and help. 40 min drive yesterday to the dealer....still didn't work, they stated it wasn't warmed up enough (it was right at 0c). Service got it going for the trip back....later that day, still won't work. By their way of thinking, the Ignis, which is a city car and really needs that hybrid to help out, won't help out unless the weather is warm? I like the car if the hybrid is working, but will be looking to sell a 2.5 month old car if the hybrid portion is worthless. It worked fine in November when we picked it up.....

I would expect this to be a welcome product in the US.

2 years ago i owned this car generation 1. only AMT transmition. Very good fuel economi 1: 17 km/ L

[@andrewholland1390]

Indeed a great little car and sadly discontinued in the UK now and across Europe I understand. Such a shame. Suzuki at least bring the Fronx to the UK to make up for it!

[@Hamachingo]

This is as close as you can get to a key car. Small, no-nonsense, movable rear bench, seats actual adults in the back. Having AWD as an option is huge, who needs a Jimny unless you're never on asphalt?

[@elyssantaris5146]

Does it come with left steering side?

[@rick23ro]

If they make this 100% electric, it will be a best buy. Of course, at a reasonable price, somewhere between Dacia Spring and Renault Zoe.

[@djnandozsunshine]

One of the best in Indonesia. I own one.

[@RainJHK-qo5de]

So beautiful and so nice

[@CharlieChaplinVideos]

Hello. Is this exported from Thailand or India.

[@gpierre90]

Hi Nicola, Great review, Umm... the Ignis, it's not a bad car, never really driven one, my sister has, and she didn't mind it. Was a car hire anyway, I prefer the more grown up Suzuki Swift, I had the previous generation 1.2L engine and I loved it, to me its a very capable car, probably won't do very well on the UK motorway, the Swift sport will do better there, however let's be honest, I live on an island, in the middle of the Indian Ocean, Paradise on Earth, narrow roads and it's just perfect,

[@polopowered]

Not to mention that the 4Grip is great off road....

[@radiansyahrizkyhanowo3362]

love the color!

[@Jack_Gatsby]

sad that Indonesia only got one trim. No mild hybrid, no AWD option. My friend has this, this is just a perfect car for simple life.

[@farthurf.5221]

Yeah we needed 4WD
