Used Suzuki Ignis for sale

What types of used Suzuki Ignis cars are there?

The Suzuki Ignis is a supermini-based crossover similar in size the the Ford Ka+, but it has plenty of unique selling points.

For example, there are ALLGRIP models that use four-wheel drive to tackle muddy tracks and icy car parks.

There’s also the fact that many models come with mild hybrid technology, badged SHVS, to reduce emissions and keep running costs low.

All of that aside, the Suzuki Ignis is a really good-looking crossover with a quirky style and plenty of interior technology – especially for a car of this size and cost.

Popular Suzuki Ignis trims

The usual array of Suzuki SZ-branded trim levels are available for the Ignis, however, in its later years on sale, lower-spec SZ3 cars were dropped.

> Suzuki Ignis SZ-T - base-spec car with reversing camera, air-con, automatic headlights and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto

Suzuki Ignis history

While the Ignis name may have been used previously for a slightly bigger but similar-looking boxy crossover, the name went unused until Suzuki revived the Ignis in 2016.

> Second-generation Suzuki Ignis (2016) - striking compact crossover with an amazing amount of appeal

> Facelifted Suzuki Ignis (2020) - focus on efficiency and refinement, with new mild hybrid option and CVT gearbox (replacing the old automated manual)

What features does the Suzuki Ignis have?

The Suzuki Ignis has been on sale for a number of years, and because it’s on the affordable end of the spectrum, low-spec cars might not have all the bells and whistles you’d expect from a larger crossover.

Post-facelift models offer more standard equipment, with things such as a reversing camera, digital radio and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto all coming as standard.

It’s worth scouting out top-spec models, which shouldn’t cost too much more, for luxuries like keyless entry and an automatic climate control system.

ALLGRIP models with four-wheel drive also get hill descent control and grip control functionalities, giving the little Ignis some real off-road credentials.

Is the Suzuki Ignis reliable?

Like other Japanese manufacturers, Suzuki has built itself a reputation for building reliable cars, and the Ignis is no different.

Despite it having some advanced powertrain options like mild hybrid technology, four-wheel drive and a CVT gearbox, all of the mechanics are reasonably simple compared to larger SUVs – helping long-term dependability.

How much does the Suzuki Ignis cost to run?

One of the many attractions of owning a used Suzuki Ignis is that it’s extremely light on fuel – most models should be able to achieve 40-50mpg on a long run, and town figures shouldn’t drop much below that anyway.

In fact, consumables like tyres, other maintenance costs and insurance are all about as low as they get, especially for a crossover. What’s not to love?

Who is the Suzuki Ignis suitable for?

A used Suzuki Ignis for sale is an excellent pick for anyone after a compact car or supermini. Plus, it can double as a family car on the odd occasion.

It appeals to the growing number of SUV and crossover buyers, and walks the walk with its optional ALLGRIP system.

If that’s important to you, you might also consider a Fiat Panda 4x4. But if you just like the rugged look, a Ford Fiesta Active might be more up your street.
