About the Suzuki Ignis
The second-generation Suzuki Ignis, launched in 2016 and facelifted in 2020, is a distinctive 'ultra-compact SUV' that blends city car dimensions with rugged crossover styling. The 2020 update introduced a revised 1.2-litre Dualjet engine paired with an enhanced 12V mild-hybrid system, improving efficiency and low-end response. In SZ5 trim, it features a sliding rear bench that allows owners to prioritise either class-leading rear legroom or boot space. Its exceptionally low kerb weight, often under 900kg, makes it surprisingly agile and efficient despite its modest power output.
