Should be much higher

Should be much higher

I concur that the sales for the Ignis are disappointing and I'd like to hear your opinion as to why they are so woeful. Perhaps the Swift GL is too close to price tag of the Ignis.
The only aspect that turns me off is the white colour scheme of the interior.

I can't understand why the Baleno sales simply can't get off the ground.

Could be a couple of factors.

It's still a brand new vehicle on the motoring scene. We can hope things stabilize better in the coming months.

For this model Suzuki's local arm has been rather lackluster in actually advertising the model.

Baleno segment in particular (B-segment) is extremely competitive. It was always going to be a challenge. The local engine range is rather limiting as well (no diesels; no turbo petrol offerings).

No cruise control?

Suzuki Ignis 1.2 GLX (2017) Review

Pricing and Warranty

The Suzuki Ignis 1.2 GLX sells for R189 900 (August 2017). For a limited period (until December 2017) the warranty has been extended to 5-years/200 000 km, which is unmatched in this segment. A service plan of 2-years/30 000 km is also included. It is worth highlighting once more that Suzuki is our current Brand of the Year, which would not have been possible if its owners didn't believe the brand offers outstanding after-sales service.

Verdict

Arguably the most controversal angle of the Ignis, but it can't be mistaken for anything else. Pinched looks notwithstanding, it is spacious.

If you've read this far, you'll have realised that we were quite taken with this newcomer from Suzuki. What we like about it in particular is how it manages to combine seemingly opposing talents without compromise. It is compact, yet surprisingly spacious. The engine delivers fun, strong performance, yet the overall efficiency is remarkable. It is priced very well, yet offers an excellent mix of attractive standard features, with the only black mark really being in the safety features department. And, finally, it offers all the peace-of-mind and trust that is part and parcel of purchasing a Suzuki, yet also delivers a refreshing dash of style and character. It's a winner.

"Suzuki fell just short of 1 000 passenger vehicle units in total in August (but hit the 1 004-mark when its handful of commercial units are included), with the Swift (350) soldiering on at the top of the pile. The Ignis weighed in with 144 units and the new Baleno 85."

Busy buying one. There is a month long waiting list, apparently Suzuki SA didn't bring enough of them in initially. All the dealerships are waiting for stock.

Post pics when you get it

Did you opt-in for the optional infotainment screen?

 

[dielaksman]

Will do.
Nah, it's an aftermarket Pioneer unit and at R7k, it didn't sound like value for money.
It is not the nice infotainment system the overseas cars get.

Excellent choice.

Will highly likely be the same unit fitted to the local Baleno. Dunno why SA does not get the proper system. Rather a half-arsed one.

So got my Ignis, awesome little car. Super maneuverable and light on petrol.

Fitted wider tires, 195's as opposed to the 175's they come fitted with. Cost me like R600 after trading in the factory fitted tires. Makes the car look much better and also improves the handling and road holding.

Also fitted some anti smash and grab, 35% in front and 20% in the rear.

That was quick, though you would be waiting till month end. Enjoy it, looks good!
