Suzuki is well established globally for its expertise in small cars and the Ignis compact crossover was launched in the UK in early 2017. For August 2020 launch, Ignis has now undergone a facelift with some striking styling upgrades for a more rugged ultra compact SUV appearance along with an enhanced Hybrid powertrain.

While retaining the iconic design characteristics of the current model, the new Ignis further reinforces its unique position as the only ultra-compact SUV on the market. It has a new front grille and bumpers, refined interior and exterior colours, and an efficiency-enhanced engine with expanded hybrid system capacity.

Since first launching in Europe in 2016, the Ignis was chosen as a top three finalist in the 2017 World Urban Car awards and has continued to gain popularity. The facelifted Ignis further builds on that iconic styling in a compact and functional package, increasing its appeal as a playful yet practical proposition in the market.

Exterior
Ingrained with Suzuki’s design heritage, including a slit-like C-pillar inherited from the first generation Cervo (SC100), blacked out A- and B- pillar, bumper garnish and clamshell bonnet.

The facelift model retains these iconic features, while adding a new Suzuki SUV-style 5-spoke front grille along with front and rear bumpers featuring trapezoid shape silver under garnishes, amplifying the overall SUV character and unique style.

Interior
Complementing the characteristic styling of the exterior, the interior of the Ignis was designed with futuristic urban styling and sweeping horizontal lines that convey breadth and a feeling of space.

The instrument panel, featuring a newly designed meter cluster, has been updated with a contrast of black and white that is simple in composition but leaves a bold impression.

New interior accent colours – Lazuli Medium Blue Pearl and Medium Grey Metallic as well as a newly designed instrument panel improve the stylish urban taste of the interior.

Body colours
Ignis is available in 13 colours of which seven are single-tone and six are two-tone colours and includes three new shades – Caravan Ivory Pearl Metallic, Rush Yellow Metallic and Tough Khaki Pearl Metallic.

Specification Highlights
Standard equipment for all Ignis models in the range is comprehensive and the SZ3 model includes six airbags, air conditioning, DAB radio with Bluetooth, 15-inch wheels, LED headlights, body coloured door mirrors, front electric windows, rear privacy glass and five seat capacity.

SZ-T adds rear view camera, 16-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, wheel arch extensions and four seat capacity with individually sliding rear seats and Smartphone Link Display Audio with Apple Carplay and Android Auto.

SZ5 adds auto air conditioning, satellite navigation, Dual Camera Brake Support, Lane Departure Warning, Weaving Alert, keyless entry and start, rear electric windows and front foglamps.

A full equipment list is provided at the end of this press release and on the media website.

The latest Ignis is included in the current attractive PCP and PCH Finance offers available until the end of September. Taking the SZ-T Hybrid model at £15,499 as an example with a PCP agreement over 49 months and an 8,000 miles per annum limit, payments are £159 per month with just £2,060 deposit and an optional final payment of £5,807 to keep the car. The finance deposit can also be zero or a higher amount with monthly payments adjusted accordingly.

Engine and transmissions

New K12D Engine
Suzuki first introduced its 1.2-litre Dualjet technlogy (K12C) in 2014, initially in the Swift, and then utilised in the Baleno and Ignis models. This engine is now replaced by the new K12D Dualjet unit which offers greater fuel economy and even lower CO₂ emissions.

The updated K12D 1.2-litre engine powering the new Ignis features a new dual injection system and offers both powerful response and high fuel efficiency. This high-level balance is made possible through advances that include an electric intake VVT (variable valve timing), a variable displacement oil pump and electric piston cooling jets. Maximum power output is 83PS with a torque figure of 107Nm at just 2,800rpm.

Hybrid technology across the range – Enhanced hybrid system
Fuel efficency is further enhanced when paired with the self-charging hybrid system powered by a new lithium-ion battery with capacity upgraded from 3Ah to 10Ah to improve energy recovery efficiency.

Available as standard equipment for all Ignis models, the upgraded 12V Hybrid system is a compact and lightweight unit that incorporates an Integrated Starter Generator (known as ISG) which acts as both a generator and starter motor, the ISG is belt driven and assists the engine during vehicle take off and acceleration and also generates electricity through regenerative braking. The ISG unit has a power output of 2.3kW with a torque figure of 50Nm and the components of the system add just 6.2kg to the overall weight of the car.

For the Ignis with 2WD manual transmission the Hybrid system helps Suzuki reach a CO₂ emissions figure of just 114g/km (WLTP regulation) plus achieve a fuel consumption figure of 55.7mpg (WLTP) on the combined cycle.

CVT Gearbox
Suzuki’s CVT powertrain is available as an option on the facelifted Ignis SZ-T and SZ5 models with 2WD, and is combined with the 1.2 Dualjet Hybrid powertrain. The CVT system can vary the actual gear ratio continuously and stepless from low-speed to high-speed range depending on the driving conditions. The CVT allows improved driveability with reduced shift-shock in comparison with a conventional automatic transmission.

4WD (ALLGRIP AUTO)
The Ignis adopts Suzuki’s ALLGRIP ‘AUTO’ four-wheel drive system which is available optionally on the SZ5 model with manual transmission. First introduced in Swift, this is a well proven and simple fully automatic and permanent four-wheel drive layout which transfers additional torque to the rear wheels when required via a viscous coupling. It is also an ideal choice for customers living in rural areas who may need additional mobility across rougher terrain or for crossing slippery surfaces during winter months without owning a more conventional SUV sized vehicle.

The Ignis ALLGRIP ‘AUTO’ system includes Hill Descent Control and also Grip Control which activates on slippery surfaces at speeds of less than 18mph. Once switched on by the driver, it focuses torque on the driven wheels that have grip and will quickly apply braking to the wheel that is spinning. Hill Descent Control also activates once switched on by the driver and when the vehicle is travelling on an incline at under 15mph in first or second gear.

With lightweight components and available in combination with the 1.2 Dualjet Hybrid powertrain, Ignis ALLGRIP Auto models have impressive fuel economy of 51.9 mpg and low CO2 emissions of just 123 g/km (both WLTP combined).

What a good dealership. I strolled in off the street with some fairly unusual requests and was dealt with very efficiently and to my complete satisfaction.What is noticeable, and not at all common in car dealers, is that there is obviously a very good culture at Tracks. Everyone is very clearly working, but they're also smiling, helping each other and making sure their customers are all happy.Most dealers have that air of toxicity around them, but not Tracks. It's a nice place to be and, judging by the number of cars they're selling, it's how it should be done.

Tracks Suzuki is quite honestly the best dealership I have ever set foot in. I purchased a Swift SZ3 from Tracks in July 2021, after being intrigued by some of my family members, who, at one point, had *four* Suzuki’s on their driveway!Since then, I’ve honestly never looked back. I have sadly dealt with various car garages who have proven to not be overly trust worthy, or have your best interests at heart. However, thanks to Tracks, they have completely and undeniably restored my faith in car dealerships.As of February this year, 2024, I returned to Tracks to seek my next vehicle. After experiencing an amazing customer service over the last two years, Tracks was my first choice. And, of course, they did not disappoint. The service plans at Tracks are so affordable, and yet seem to have a variety of options and lengthy cover for all aspects of your vehicle. It takes the stress out of potentially paying large, one off payments. The team go above and beyond to help you with anything you need, as well as being incredibly warm, friendly, and approachable people.I would like to express my particular gratitude to Anita and Dave on the Aftersales team. They are both an absolute pleasure to work with, and can’t do enough for you should there ever be any circumstances or issues that might be tricky to work around.Lastly, a big thank you to Jack, on the Sales team, who has just sold me my beautiful SX4 S-Cross. I came to Jack with a rather picky list of criteria for my next car, and without shadow of a doubt, Jack exceeded all of my expectations. Not just the spec, or the car itself, but consideration of the price range, after care, and any requirements for an effortless handover. Jack always made himself available to me, whenever I needed to ask a question or seek his support. And everytime, he was so reassuring, kind, helpful, and generally just made this whole process nothing but genuinely enjoyable, fun, and effortless. This is by far the best way I could ever imagine buying a car.I love Tracks Suzuki. It’s the best place, and I will always be its no.1 supporter! I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else now, and I wouldn’t change that for the world either!

Just bought a Suzuki Vitara from Tracks Suzuki! What a pleasurable experience. Came up looking at one car, which wasn’t to my liking, however was quickly shown something more to my taste. After looking around at different garages, I retuned to Tracks as their customer service was perfect, they were keen to help me is every way possible and kept in contact whilst I was making my decision without being overbearing.
I have collected my car today, which was to an impeccable standard, brand new MOT and service. I was shown how to use different aspects of the car and then I was given the keys and had driven away in less than an hour! Perfect service! Thank you Jack for being so patient! It’s just what I was looking for.

Recently part exchanged my Fiat for a used Suzuki Ignis. Very pleased with the deal and with the friendly and efficient service I received from William who sorted out all the paperwork and showed me how to operate its controls and adjust the seats. The car is a pleasure to drive and very economical on fuel, I have been averaging over 60 mpg so far.

Bravo Tracks! After the despair of finding Rowes Suzuki in Plymouth closed, I went to Tracks, even if it is twice the journey. They really could not have been better, an easy swap of service plan, an excellent major service, and a repair to the front wing leaving it looking showroom new. The whole attitude was highly efficient and welcoming. Cannot recommend enough.

Excellent garage excellent car, purchased Sept 2022, I did review positively when bought but wanted to update now that I have had my suzuki boosterjet over a year now. I have had no problems at all with my car, the service I received was 1st class by all in Exeter. I was worried as I'd never bought a car before without seeing it, but they put my mind at rest and kept me completely updated and delivered the car to me. They are fab

We recently bought our second Suzuki from Tracks and just had it serviced. It is so nice to see the same staff year after year, knowing they are the best. Edit: Unusually for Suzuki, we needed a warranty repair - this is why we stay with Tracks; they performed brilliantly getting us back on the road again.

Sadly it’s sometimes difficult to find loyal, honest, and caring people to look after your car - however, I am so pleased that I chose Tracks Suzuki.

Whilst looking for my next car, I found it difficult narrowing down my options. With that being said, I was recommended Tracks by a family member, who was proud to have had nearly 3 Swift’s in the last 15 years! I was so glad I listened to their recommendation as Tracks couldn’t do enough to meet my requirements and I am very confident that I’d buy my next car from them too!

TracksCare is a great service/care plan for my Swift - it’s affordable, the service is great, it covers a lifetime warranty on your vehicle, and you can’t get much better than that. Free labour, discounted parts, and a complimentary coffee and valet too! (Made me feel better when I had to drop my car off first thing on an early morning!) 😉

The team are great and are always happy to help - they’re very accommodating and deal with you in a very professional and friendly approach. I would love to name a few people in particular but I wouldn’t want to be unfair to the rest of the team and therefore I think my appreciation must go towards the whole of Tracks itself, as I’m yet to come across a single person who doesn’t carry that great work ethic. I purchased my Swift from Taunton and now go to the Exeter dealership due to it being more local and both places are equally as great to work with.

Thank you Tracks!
