What kind of car is the Suzuki Ignis?
The Suzuki Ignis is a small hatchback with a raised, crossover-like stance. Its upright shape and compact footprint make it well suited to town driving, while giving it a distinctive place among Suzuki’s compact cars.
The name spans two generations in Europe. The first-generation Ignis (FH and MH) was sold in the UK from 2001 to 2006. After a gap, the second-generation model (MF) arrived in 2016 and was sold in Europe and the UK through 2024. Suzuki introduced it as a mini crossover, pairing compact-car proportions with a taller stance.
Engines and power
In the European Union, Ignis engines range from 1.2 litres to 1.2 litres, with power from 61 kW (83 PS) to 99 kW (135 PS). The fuel categories include petrol, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and other. UK versions range from 1.2 to 1.5 litres and from 61 kW (83 PS) to 83 kW (113 PS); the listed fuels are petrol and hybrid. France’s ADEME figures list a 1.2-litre hybrid with 61 kW (83 PS).
Specifications vary by market and year. Hybrid versions pair electric assistance with a petrol engine, and the European Union listings also include plug-in hybrids.
Fuel consumption and registrations
The lowest stated European Union consumption is 4.7 L/100 km on the WLTP test for petrol, diesel or hybrid versions. The lowest plug-in-hybrid figure is 4 L/100 km WLTP, an official weighted figure that assumes some driving is electric. The UK low is 4.3 L/100 km on NEDC. WLTP and NEDC are different European test procedures, so their figures are not directly comparable.
Official European Union registration figures record 472,768 Ignis registrations from 2010 to 2025. UK figures span 2001 to 2024, and France’s ADEME listings span 2026.
