Suzuki Ignis (2016-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Easy to drive around town	Plasticky cabin
Lively 1.2-litre engine	Very small boot
Cute and unusual looks	Noisy on a long drive

Quick Summary

The Suzuki Ignis (2016-present) is a characterful and compact SUV that excels in urban environments. Its diminutive dimensions—shorter than a MINI and nearly as narrow as a Volkswagen Up—make it ideally suited to navigating Britain's congested towns and cities. Despite its small footprint, the tall design provides comfortable seating for four adults. The funky styling, with fat wheel arches and a mischievous face, gives the Ignis genuine personality that sets it apart from more conventional rivals. Rear seats slide individually to increase boot space when needed, offering versatility unusual for a car of this size.

The peppy 1.2-litre petrol engine delivers impressive fuel economy of around 50mpg on average, with running costs kept low by the metal timing chain that requires no costly replacements. Air-conditioning and Bluetooth connectivity come as standard even on the entry-level SZ3 model. Whilst the interior feels somewhat plasticky in places and the infotainment system is fiddly, these minor compromises are forgivable given the affordable price point. The Ignis is a fun, characterful choice for budget-conscious buyers seeking a town-friendly vehicle with genuine charm and practicality.

Best for: Urban drivers seeking a fun and characterful small SUV, budget-conscious buyers prioritising low running costs, and those who value easy manoeuvrability and parking in tight spaces.

Not ideal for: Buyers requiring a spacious boot, those planning frequent long motorway journeys, or those expecting premium interior quality at this price point.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Ignis if: You're an urban driver seeking a fun and characterful small SUV, prioritising low running costs and easy manoeuvrability in tight spaces, or looking for an affordable vehicle with genuine personality.

Consider alternatives if: You require a spacious boot, plan frequent long motorway journeys, or expect premium interior quality at this price point.

Competitive Position: The Suzuki Ignis (2016-present) holds its own in the budget compact SUV market, offering distinctive styling and excellent urban practicality. Whilst the MG ZS achieves a slightly higher overall rating and user score, the Ignis matches it on expert rating and offers superior character and manoeuvrability. Against the Fiat Panda, the Ignis provides more SUV-like appeal and better value on deals. The Dacia Duster scores higher with experts but lacks user reviews. For buyers prioritising fun, affordability, and town-friendly dimensions over sheer space, the Ignis remains a compelling choice with low running costs and a metal timing chain requiring no expensive replacements.
