There is no thread on this quirky Suzy as yet but it's rather relevant. Will come to SA later in 2017.

"Suzuki Motor Corporation unveiled the new Suzuki Ignis for Europe at the 2016 Paris Motor Show as its new global compact crossover and it clearly demonstrates convenience and comfort in a stylish new exterior. It exudes Suzuki DNA from every pore, while at the same time introducing an entirely new design with unique character.

In addition to its stylish exterior design in a compact size of just 3,700mm long, the Suzuki Ignis features excellent visibility, a spacious cabin and ample luggage space. The development goal was to create compact crossover styling that is undoubtedly Suzuki.

Under the 'SUZUKI NEXT 100' plan announced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2015, Suzuki developed a new platform strategy for its future models and the Suzuki Ignis is the second model (following Baleno) with this new generation platform to be introduced in Europe.

This new platform targets the reduction of weight as well as further increased rigidity and the lightest Ignis model has a kerb weight of just 810kg.

Exterior design

The impressive shape of the Suzuki Ignis body begins with the distinctive front face that integrates the striking gaze of the LED headlamps and the strong lines of the front grille. It continues with the robust shoulders that suggest strength whilst utilising a simple design that at the same time presents a familiar, lovable expression. It also inherits the first-generation Cervo's (SC100 Whizzkid) slit-like 'C'pillar design cues and also the Swift's distinctive blacked out 'A' and 'B' pillar design.

Interior design

In addition to its simple yet unique design, the characteristic image of the Ignis is further enhanced by its interior ambience. The round shape of its air-conditioning system's panel and the advanced feel of its distinctive instrument cluster design combine to give the cabin environment a futuristic look.

Depending on the choice of exterior colour, orange and metallic titanium accent colours add an extra touch of quality to the cabin and help establish an active image that befits a crossover."

Is there a competition between manufacturers to see who can make the ugliest rear end of a car or do they just not give a damn?

Oh my god a million times yes! This is right up there with the Fiat Multipla, and that's a rare (dis)honour.

Whoever is designing Suzuki interiors also needs to perform Harakiri, quickly.
 
I submit that Suzuki will have the Ignis and then Baleno.
Swift will disappear.

The 1.2 motor is a gem.
It will feature in the Ignis and the Baleno.

The other motors that Suzuki have do not thrive on our fuel standards.

Hey if Ssangyong could manufacture the cars with the back-ends they did, and sell them...

Indeed.

This looks good from every other angle.
 
Everything but the back looks good.

Nice cleanup mods:D
