“The Suzuki Ignis is a real breath of fresh air in the city car class, offering desirable crossover-style looks and a distinctive character that sets it apart from rivals. Love or hate the exterior, you have to accept that there’s little else at this price with so much personality.”

“The Suzuki Ignis is a likeable and stylish little crossover no matter what spec, but we reckon removing four-wheel drive and hybrid assistance makes this 2WD 1.2-litre version the sweetest of the lot.”

“Kept within its limits the Suzuki Ignis is a good mix of useful and enjoyable. It’s no fuss in town, and punches slightly above its weight when you feel like hustling it along a B-road. But on longer trips it falls foul of its lack of power and refinement.”

“The Suzuki Ignis is a small SUV that’s not much bigger than a city car. It has character in spades and should prove cheap to run, but it’s a flawed gem.”

“The Suzuki Ignis bears a familiar name but, if you think this new model shares the boring Euro-box design of the old cars, think again.”

“Not as sensible or solid-feeling as some rivals, the SUV-style Suzuki Ignis can still raise a smile”

“Its light weight is a key reason for it being fun to drive, and an important factor in why it was so economical. It’s also more capable than virtually all other cars in its sector because it’s four-wheel drive. However, you can’t get away from the engine feeling dated and unrefined compared to most rivals.”

“There’s a lot to like about the Suzuki Ignis, not least because it’s something a bit different. It looks great, is well specified, decent to drive and should be cheap to run. It’s not as classy or as nicely finished as some rivals and gets expensive if you choose the wrong spec, but it’s a good choice if you don’t want to follow the herd.”

“If you want to avoid the typical small hatchback choices, the Suzuki Ignis is a quirky-looking alternative with more character than its rivals. But it’s also well-priced, well-equipped and cheap to run, so as outside choices go it’s very sensible.”

“Aimed at the value-end of the market, the Suzuki Ignis’ quirky styling, low running costs and practical nature make it an attractive option for those who want something left-field from the current crop of city cars.”

“It’s quirky and bright and boxy and will be love/hate but it’s also light and clever and practical – and mega value.”

“With its slightly raised driving position, easy access, spacious interior and the availability of four-wheel drive, the Suzuki Ignis represents a unique offering in the city car class. True, its dashboard design is basic and a Volkswagen Up is more comfortable, but the Ignis is still an intriguing – and impressive – little car.”

“A lightweight, rugged city car big on charm, and small on thirst. A true Top Gear hero.”
