Once upon a time, a hatchback and an SUV fell in love. Many rejected the idea, but they knew deep down that they had something special. They married and bonded, and after several years, small SUVs were born. With the space and comfort of an SUV, and the fuel efficiency and performance of a hot hatch, their offspring were set to dominate the automotive world… okay, so maybe all that didn’t happen, and technically cars can’t give birth. And selling their offspring would be a whole problematic ethical and legal debate. What did happen was that the genius minds at Suzuki were responsible for creating some of the best small SUVs around.
The Ignis has worn many names. Compact SUV, ultra-compact SUV, compacts compact SUV. Whatever you call it, make sure to add an adverb and compact. While you ponder the title to bestow upon it, let us regale you with tales of the new design and unique colour options, of the retro-yet-modern touches and the generous storage space of 1101L* that rivals that of its larger SUV competitors. The interior matches the new look, with a sleek, urban style with flashes of funky colour and of course, Ignis has within reach all the conveniences that Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ provide. This compact SUV also has outstanding fuel efficiency—just 4.7L/100km^. When you think about it, the Ignis might just be the best small SUV ever created.

This small SUV's kerb weight is only 820kg† , allowing it to achieve such low fuel efficiency. Whilst the GL offers room for 5, the GLX 4 seat configuration will enable you to slide and recline the rear seats, which is quite nifty and practical. The GLX also offers keyless start and digital climate control. You name it, the Ignis can do it.
