I´ve driven the automatic Ignis earlier this year, pretty good car. Fuel economy was awesome, i got 5L in town and 6,5L outside with 100km/h. The Autobox was okay (i prefer torque converter).
I bought one recently and I have to say that in an urban/suburban environment in consumes around 5.2l/100km On the highway when I brought it home though it did 4.7l/100km ... all you need to do is understand that it is not really meant to go 130km. My previous car was 31 years old, so I was used to going up to 100km on the highway. I returned home while doing 110km which was an improvement for me, but also a good speed for the 5th gear of this car. They still haven't really addressed the issue with the reverse gear though. Sometimes it is smooth, sometimes it does seem to not want connect there.
Great review! The price of pretty much any VW nowadays is just unjustified. They aren’t the best in class at anything, yet price themselves with the likes of Audi, JLR, Merc, and etc... And more relevant to the video, doesn’t this comparison say it all? The VW has no major pluses over the Ignis, and doesn’t even have premium materials and AWD for around double the price. As for the Ignis design, I think the front is fantastic, though I do think the rear needs an update.
Thanks for the video, nobody is reviewing this car anymore :) And glad to see you not mentioning the Android Auto as a plus, because it is not working (for the most time). Anyways, where does it cost 14k Eur for the top AWD version (list, no discount)? Just checked, in Germany top range hybrid AWD (the one reviewed here is not hybrid, presumably, but top trim, no doubt about it) costs closer to 19k, while in, say, Poland a regular manual top trim AWD is ~16700 Eur. And the metallic paint (i.e. not red, usually) will cost even more. 14000 is a typical list price for a red mid-range non-hybrid, manual AWD with a normal infotainment system, rear view camera, heated front seats and sliding rear seats, but with no dual-camera driving aids, no climate control, no LED lights, no leather wheel cover (yes, just a soft plastic wheel), no electronic back windows, no navigation, no cruise control, etc. By the way, that's the one I've got (though it's not red ;).
These are the prices here in Slovenia. Most of the time, you'll be paying more for a car here than you would in most other countries, due to heavy vehicle taxation.
Base model in the Netherlands starts at 16.749 euros. Top model with all possible accessoires will set you back close to 35.000 euros. Slovenia is cheap!
really thinking to buy one, im looking for a small city car with character, what you said about the motorway kind of scared me, for sure you dont buy it for long trips, but in case you take it for a trip it shouldn't make your trip miserable
It's definitely not a car you'd want to drive long-distance every day. Every now and then, sure, if you can get over the loudness of it. I suggest you take it for a test on a highway yourself first. If you're mainly driving in cities and suburbs, it's a very cute and fun car to drive.
@@Pit-Stop i did a test drive(the auto version) in the city which seemed pretty fine,i couldn't take it on a highway, really loved the car it clicked too many boxes for me, price, safety equipment, android auto, almost same size than my fiat 500 on the outside and twice as big on the inside(lol), it has character as you said in your review and an amazing 7 year warranty!
Sounds like a pretty good fit, then. Just don't go on too many long trips, although that was just my opinion, of course. You might be less annoyed by cabin noise.
@@nikosbays8766 What country does it have a 7 year warranty in, if you don't mind me asking? Where I checked, all Suzukis were sold with a 3 year manufacturer warranty. Thanks!
3500rpm @ 130kmh (80mph) is not so short gearing. A turbo car could have higher gearing but then would be crippled when off boost and the economy would tank even more if you make use of the boost. Tbe boxy shape does it no favours, the economy of all cars goes off a cliff over 70mph. What it really needs is a larger engine but eco loons call all the shots these days.
indian variant ignis is made of cheap quantity plastic thin sheet outer body. it doesn't get hill assist like safety features. ppl don't worry abt them, they buy maruti suzuki cars for mileage, cheaper maintenance and cheaper spare parts and tension free after sale service.
I have one, it is doing 5.2l/100km at the moment in the town. At some point when I drove it on bigger roads the dash said 4.7l/100km. What are you doing to get it to 6l/100km? Crossing the town on first gear???
I agree. I got one 18 months ago - very happy on all respects. This reviewer's analysis is all over the place. Highway driving is extremely good in the Ignis - very stable and not noisy in the cabin at all. All reviewers neglect to mention that the dual port engine is high compression (12.5:1) meaning that 98 fuel is awesome in the Ignis - much better performance and economy - Cheers.
@@jetrex1986 I'm in Aus - no all grip offered here. I got the GLX top spec CVT auto (no manual in top spec). surprisingly good with 98 fuel even though it's CVT - city driving I want an auto.
I own an Ignis car and I'm from India, ignis is completely loaded with practicalities and will never fail to surprise you
My ignis is like my pet and he loves me back.
I love this man's rules of thumb - for fuel use! He needs to see USA Pick Up truck gallons per mile. Ignis is the car enough.
We have one just like this for a year and a half now and we love it ❤️. It's not perfect but as you said it has a heart 😊
hard to find another car with about 5l/100km fuel consumption, full LED lights, 4x4, AEB and that price
I rented this car when I was on holiday and surprisingly it’s actually a good car to drive and it’s big inside.

No I don't think they should any of the exterior of the ignis but maybe find a way to manage some extra USB ports and in in the back

in Slovakia the prices are around 14 000 EUR. For the highest trim level (GLX):
2WD 5MT 12 290 EUR (including metalic paint)
4WD 5MT 13 390 EUR (including metalic paint)
4WD 5MT SHVS 14550 EUR (including metalic paint)

Zelo dober video :)
It is what you use to drive we went on a holiday with a opel corsa and had a great time 😊
Brate, simpatičan si, dobri su vam pregledi auta, ali gde nađeš taj komplet majci, pitam za ćaleta.
I'm sorry but color contrast in this video is really bad. Otherwise it's good review.
Definitely horrible colour clash
Crashed blacks is the problem. It's a pity that probably the post production ruined a really good effort
Yes ur right, it have a character
So basically the achilles heal of the is car is that it doesn’t have a 6th gear. That’s one biggest upgrade that suzuki needs to make to this car.
What's the road noise like st say 100km/h? Would it be to close to redlineing?
Not even close. But it's definitely not meant to cruise at 130 all day long. It would do it but it would also be quite tiring.
@@Pit-Stop okay thanks just asking as I live in a rural area where go 100km/h for about 30 min each time thanks for your advice!
9:50 - Take her doon, captain. She Cannae take nae more!
I need more powah!
The basic 2WD is 21,000 Euros in Italy...

indian variant ignis is made of cheap quantity plastic thin sheet outer body. it doesn't get hill assist like safety features. ppl don't worry abt them, they buy maruti suzuki cars for mileage, cheaper maintenance and cheaper spare parts and tension free after sale service.
Change that camera pls .
Why?
Why does nobody talk about the SAFETY of the car? It only scored 3/5 on the Euro NCap test.
5/5 with the safety sensors
5l/100km? BULLSHIT! You'll get it at least 6l/100km if you drive very economically and shift up and down immediately.
I have one, it is doing 5.2l/100km at the moment in the town. At some point when I drove it on bigger roads the dash said 4.7l/100km. What are you doing to get it to 6l/100km? Crossing the town on first gear???
