2017 Suzuki Ignis

Tweed Jacket Reviews: 2020 Suzuki Ignis 1.2 SZ-T SHVS - Lloyd Vehicle Consulting

In this review, suitably attired, we go for a drive out in the Kent countryside to test a wonderful 2020 Suzuki Ignis 1.2 SZ-T SHVS and see how practical it is, what it is like to drive and what it is like to own.

 
Updated Suzuki Ignis touches down in SA ... with prices unchanged!

The facelifted Suzuki Ignis has officially arrived in South Africa three years after the original model’s launch, sporting updated looks but (rather refreshingly) the same price.

As before, the local Ignis line-up comprises three variants (now that the two special-edition derivatives have left the range), each powered by Suzuki’s familiar 61 kW/113 N.m naturally aspirated 1,2-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine driving the front wheels via either a five-speed manual gearbox or an automated manual transmission.

The Ignis 1,2 GL is still priced at R182 900, while the 1,2 GLX is at an unchanged R204 900 and the 1, 2 GLX AMT still R221 900.

So, what’s new? Well, the “S” badge up front is now flanked by four chromed square slots spread across the grille. The Japanese firm has also added a new lower bumper design, which now incorporates the foglamps (on GLX models), as well as a bolder faux skidplate. Round back, the black bumper insert has been ditched in favour of another faux skidplate.

This new generation is now serious value for money. Would seriously consider this for a next car without destroying my financial independence.
 
An Ignis with the 1,4 turbo motor and six speed box.
Can you imagine the fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(probably would have to fit wider rubber.)
 
Suzuki Ignis 1.2 GLX (2020) Review

Fast Facts:

Price: R216 900
Engine: 1.2-litre 4-cylinder petrol
Power/Torque: 61 kW/113 Nm
Transmission: 5-speed manual
Fuel consumption: 5.1 L/100km
Boot capacity: 260-947 litres
Performance: 0-100 kph in 11.6 sec

Pricing and after-sales service

Pricing for the Suzuki Ignis range starts at R188 900 and this top-spec 1.2 GLX costs R216 900 (August 2020). There is also an automatic version available for the GLX. The derivative comes standard with a 2-year/30 000 km service plan and Suzuki’s promotional 5-year/200 000 km mechanical warranty, which includes 5 years' roadside assistance.

Verdict

The tastefully updated Suzuki Ignis continues right where its predecessor left off. Not only is it charming to look at and drive, but it's not going to cost you a fortune to own and run: the 1.2 GLX is remarkably light on fuel and comes with the enviable backing of vehicle brand that has won the #CarsAwards Brand of the Year title on 2 occasions!

Its cute looks will win it many fans and those who have the chance to take it for a test drive will be impressed by how energetic it feels to drive in an urban environment. The target market for this vehicle is typically younger buyers and the array of connectivity options availed by the advanced infotainment touchscreen is likely to impress them. If you're looking for an interesting first-time new-car purchase that won't break the bank and offers quite the "cool factor", the Ignis should be near the top of your shortlist.

Suzuki Ignis 1.2 GLX (2020) Review

Suzuki SA recently introduced an updated Ignis to the local market. While the model does incorporate revisions, they're relatively minor – and the 1.2 GLX's asking price is now well above the R200k-mark. Does the Ignis still represent good value as a "budget hatchback"? We like: Excellent fuel...

Suzuki Ignis 1.2 Boosterjet Hybrid 4WD SZ5 2020 UK review

Should I buy one?

The Ignis is no replacement for Suzuki’s sadly departed (in passenger car form) Jimny as a proper off-roader, but it certainly is the only real option for rural dwellers who want a small runabout with four-wheel drive for when the weather turns against them. The Allgrip is decently priced, too, at £17,499, that also getting you range-topping SZ5 trim. You won’t find a countryside-capable little car for less than that – apart from the Fiat Panda 4x4, but then that now feels very dated.

Lesser, front-wheel-drive mild-hybrid Ignis variants start at £13,999, which again isn’t over-priced, although perhaps then you would instead look around at the likes of the Dacia Duster from the SUV side or very-well-rounded Kia Picanto from the city car side.

They stopped making this amazing small car, but you can still get one - for just £4500! | Autocar

Suzuki's SUV is good enough - and cheap enough - to forgive its cheap-feeling materials and unsophisticated ride

ROAD TEST: Suzuki Ignis 1,2 GLX MT

TEST SUMMARY

With a market increasingly skewed towards crossovers, it was a smart move from Suzuki to introduce the Ignis here. It’s good value for money, has a roomy interior and, in GLX trim, offers loads of standard kit. Some elements could do with attention – most crucially, braking performance – and hopefully these will be addressed when a brand-new model arrives. That said, the facelifted Ignis remains true to the brand’s characteristics of like-ability and practicality in a value-for-money package.

Maruti Suzuki Ignis Facelift Review - carandbike​

Yes! The Maruti Suzuki Ignis facelift was launched almost eight months ago, and we are only getting our hands on it now! Not much changes on the facelifted model and maybe that's not a bad thing.

For more details, watch our comprehensive review of the Maruti Suzuki Ignis facelift.

Fiesta do you go to the Face book of Car Mag?
I did and I see that someone called them out when they published their results of this test
The test results were exactly to the 1/100 sec of the tests that they did when they tested the Ignis in their August 1917 edition.
This is NOT possible, with different drivers, different conditions and a different car.
As this dude says: They did not test the car, the had a freebie and some good lunches, on the house.
What's more they had no comment about the brakes in the earlier edition.

Here's this something else about this glorious mag: From January to June 1997 the average monthly sales was 123,100. The average monthly sales for the first quarter of 2020 was 63,509.

To really rub it in: When they accepted the Ignis into their long term fleet, they described the engine as a three cylinder. Refer Car mag June 2019 page 98.

Please stop posting their **** on this forum.

Let me WTF.
You have posted a report that has been proved beyond all reasonable doubt to be a load of rubbish and my request is not to quote from this source because it is not reliable, add value and is misleading.
Do you have a problem?
The proof of the pudding is for Car magazine to post here and declare that they did retest the car and all the performance tests were exactly like the original test.
Then I'll apologise. Until then they are not truthful ; that is my opinion.
 
TESTED: Suzuki Ignis is still funky, and surprisingly rational

The GLX also comes with keyless entry with push-button start, automatic climate control and silver interior trimmings.

But if you can live without the aforementioned luxuries, in other words you’re happy to slum it with manual aircon and a conventional radio, then the GL base model probably makes the most sense in the range, starting at R193 900. The GLX will set you back R223 900 in manual form or R240 000 if you want it with the AMT automated manual transmission.

As far as we’re concerned, the Ignis is still the best all-rounder in Suzuki’s compact car range.

Suzuki Ignis 2021 Review | Well-Priced Slice Of Joy - Car Obsession​

Long term viewers will remember that I reviewed this car all the way back in 2017, but the second generation Ignis has recently been given a facelift. This means tweaked looks, improved efficiency, and also a choice of a CVT gearbox.
