3 Reasons Why Suzuki Ignis 1.2 GL is #CarsAwards Finalist
What makes the Suzuki Ignis 1.2 GL a strong contender in the Budget Car category of the 2017/18 Cars.co.za Consumer Awards programme – powered by WesBank? Read on…
The Ignis is the latest addition in Suzuki’s lineup and with its quirky styling and raised ride height, it brings crossover appeal to the budget car segment. With an attractive blend of affordability, practicality and frugality, the Ignis has much to offer.
3 Reasons Why Suzuki Ignis 1.2 GL is #CarsAwards Finalist
1. Brand strength and attractive pricing
Suzuki is the current #CarsAwards Brand of the Year champion, and for good reason. Suzuki has a sterling reputation for building durable, long-lasting cars. Locally it is one of the fastest-growing brands and customer satisfaction ratings have always been very good.
More than this, the Ignis 1.2 GL is attractively priced at R169 900 and is sold with Suzuki’s usual 3-year/100 000 km warranty and also has, as standard, a service plan of 2-years/30 000 km.
2. Practical city car
The Suzuki Ignis is powered by a naturally-aspirated 1.2-litre petrol engine offering 61 kW and 113 Nm of torque with a claimed fuel consumption figure of 5.1 L/100km. Suzuki is one of the few manufacturers that is often able to reach its claimed figures, so you can expect solid results at the pumps.
The Ignis combines its frugality with practicality by offering a sizable 260-litre load bay. With the 60/40 split rear seats folded down, space increases further to 947 litres. Furthermore, its 180mm ground clearance makes it well-suited to local conditions and will be particularly useful on gravel or poor road surfaces.
3. Value for money
The Ignis 1.2 GL comes standard with air conditioning, front and rear electric windows, a Bluetooth Radio/CD player with USB and auxiliary support. In terms of safety, the Ignis is fitted with 2 airbags, ABS with EBD and brake assist. The Ignis is therefore difficult to ignore in the budget car segment.

"The outgoing Swift (314) showed no signs of letting up, while the new Ignis added a useful 129 units for Suzuki."

#Drive360 Awards: The very best car of 2017 is...
The Suzuki Ignis is the overall winner of Independent Media’s 2017 Drive360 Awards.
The compact crossover vehicle was selected from 34 shortlisted cars chosen by Independent Media’s motoring journalists, and announced at a prize-giving ceremony in Rosebank, Johannesburg, on Friday afternoon.
The judges are from Drive360, a motoring supplement appearing weekly in The Star, Pretoria News, Daily News, The Mercury and Cape Times; and from the IOL Motoring website.
“The Ignis is a small car that punches above its weight in a very competitive market segment,” said Drive360 editor Denis Droppa, who was one of the judges.
“The competition was fierce this year from amongst the dozens of new cars, bakkies and SUVs launched in 2017, but our judges were unanimous in selecting the Ignis as their overall winner. With its sassy styling and appealingly modern cabin, along with surprisingly perky urban performance, this little urban adventurer goes above and beyond what is expected at the price, which starts at R170 000.
“It’s refreshing to see a budget car winning the title. Value for money is a very important criterion in our awards, and the Ignis was unbeaten in this regard. It’s a budget car with real appeal and desirability, rather than just something you settle for on affordability,” he added.
The Suzuki Ignis, which also won Drive360’s Compact Car category, was launched in South Africa in June in a range of three 1.2-litre derivatives priced between R169 900 and R204 900, packaged with a three-year/100 000km warranty and two-year/30 000km service plan.
Equipment levels across the range are generous, with the flagship GLX version boasting keyless starting, fully automatic climate control, rear park distance control, and a six-speaker audio system with Bluetooth connectivity. Range-wide safety comprises dual front airbags and ABS brakes.
Awards were also handed out in the following categories:
Family Car
The Peugeot 3008 was voted Drive360’s family car of the year, the judges citing its striking new exterior and class-leading cabin, which features some of the classiest looking materials and design details seen in this segment.
Luxury Car
The BMW M760Li xDrive got the Luxury Car award. “BMW’s ludicrous new limo takes the ‘more is more’ philosophy to the absolute extreme. Its twin-turbo V12 makes it the fastest BMW on the market, but it’s indulgently luxurious,” said the judges.
Adventure Vehicle
The Range Rover Velar scooped the Adventure Vehicle prize in a hotly contested category, the judges saying: “This right-sized luxury SUV packages the brand’s well-known offroad ability into the most modern and high-tech Range Rover yet seen.”
Performance Car
The Porsche 911 GT3 walked off with the Performance Car title. “It may not be the fastest 911 but it’s arguably the most exciting. With an engine that howls to 9000rpm, this purist Porsche lays on the emotion several layers thick.”
Coolest Ride
The Alfa Romeo Giulia QV took the Coolest Ride category, voted by readers of the Drive360 motoring supplement and IOL Motoring.

Suzuki UK has announced the launch of new special editions for the Ignis and Vitara models, dubbed the Adventure and the Kuro respectively.
The new Suzuki Ignis Adventure builds upon the SZ-T trim level, adding a selection of personalization options, including a rear spoiler, side sills, front and rear skid plates, coloured front grille center bar, side decals and color-keyed front fog lamp bezels along with a rear view camera, 16-inch alloys, roof rails and individually-sliding rear seats.
Customers get to choose from four colour options: Fervent Red, Boost Blue Pearl, Pure White Pearl or Super Black Pearl.
Suzuki reckons that the added value of the personalization options is £1,900, but the Adventure comes with a premium of just £1,000 over the SZ-T model, at £13,999.
As for the Vitara Kuro, this makes a return to the UK market after increased customer demand, with the company offering a further 1,000 units.
The special model is based, once again, on the 1.6-liter SZ-T 2WD manual model that features automatic climate control, navigation with smartphone pairing and rear privacy glass as standard.
The Kuro treatment adds satin black alloy wheels, a black body kit that includes bumpers, side body mouldings, door mirrors, rear upper spoiler, front grille and the necessary Kanji ‘Kuro’ badging. The cabin features piano black touches on the dashboard and a carbon-effect analogue clock.
The Suzuki Vitara Kuro is also available in four colours, including Superior White, Cosmic Black, Galactic Grey and Silky Silver.
