- The Ignis’s $15,990 starting price is the same as its predecessor cost in 2005.
- At 3.7 metres long, Suzuki’s compact SUV is smaller than key competitors though it stands and rides tall to ensure it offers both elevating seating and good headroom.
- All-wheel drive is available as an option in some other markets but, for now at least, the Ignis powers its front wheels only in Australia.
- Mini-style customisation is possible both inside and out – and via dealers rather than the factory. An Exterior Highlights Pack adds a colourful dash of red, orange or blue to the grille, foglight surrounds, side mirrors and wheels. The same colours plus a Titanium hue are available to brighten up the interior in the areas of vent surrounds, centre console, and door handles.
- Satellite navigation is standard even on the base GL variant – a rare feature at this Suzuki’s price point. Other inclusive equipment includes a 7-inch touchscreen, rear-view camera, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. The pricier GLX adds features such as daytime running lights, keyless entry and engine start, and 16-inch alloy wheels instead of 15-inch steel wheels.
- Seating layouts vary between the GL and GLX variants. The GL is a five-seater with 60:40 split-fold rear seats. The GLX trades the centre rear seat for a more versatile sliding rear bench with 50:50 folding seatbacks.
- The Ignis uses a 1.2-litre four-cylinder engine, which is teamed with either a standard five-speed manual gearbox or optional CVT auto in the GL. The GLX is auto only.
