The new Suzuki Ignis 2017 really turned out to be modern and radically different from the second generation, as it becomes clear this is the third generation of the car. It's hard to say right away whether it's a compact crossover or a hatchback. All because of the high ground clearance and wide, convex wheel arches.
If we take for attention how the Suzuki Ignis 2017 was presented at the exhibition, then this is a subcompact hatchback. For the first time in Europe, the novelty was presented to the public in 2016 at the Paris Auto Show as a concept for the new iM-4 model. In the production model, the designers have left all the features of the concept, including the original cuts on the rear pillars.
The first generation Suzuki Ignis was introduced in 2000 and really looked like a compact city hatchback. But then the novelty did not reach the Russian market, and the imported Igni, as a rule, were right-hand drive.
Exterior of the new hatchback Ignis 2017
Speaking about the exterior of the third generation Suzuki Ignis 2017, it is radically different from the previous model. The features have become modern and austere. Critics point out that the front features the new Vitara, while the side reveals the Swift and SX4. The front part is distinguished by a large radiator grill, into which the front optics are literally mounted. In the center of the Ignis grille is the Suzuki emblem and two horizontal lines that emphasize the design rather than divide the grille.
In total, Suzuki will offer the buyer three trim levels of the conventional Ignis hatchback and one hybrid version. The optics in the basic and medium configuration will be halogen, with daytime running lights in a circle. It is the square shape of the optics that emphasizes the design, paired with the chrome edging of the black grille. A kind of Suzuki Ignis hatchback turned out to be like wearing glasses. The top-of-the-line Ignis 2017 will be equipped with full LED headlights.
The designers decided to divide the front bumper into three even parts, the middle one serves as an additional radiator grille with a place for mounting license plates. Halogen foglights with chrome edging were installed in the side parts. For the maximum configuration of the Suzuki Ignis 2017 LED fog lights. At the bottom, the bumper is accentuated by a black plastic splitter.
Rising higher to the hood, the features of the Suzuki Grand Vitara are clearly visible here. The hood was completely removed from the crossover, right down to the side inserts in the area of the A-pillars. The designers decided to make the windshield of Suzuki Ignis 2017 strict, with sharp ends.
The side section of the Suzuki Ignis 2017 is distinguished by convex arches both in front and behind. To the best of the design, they decided to leave the handles standard, on the door body, and not transfer the rear to the rack. Thus, the designers made it more like a hatchback or a compact crossover, otherwise it would be a tall coupe car. The side rear-view mirrors were located on the door body, since there is simply no room in the corner of the glass, and it makes no sense to make them even less.
A characteristic feature for the Suzuki Ignis 2017, as in previous generations, remained three notches (stripes) on the C-pillar. This is an unchanging tradition for this model, which the manufacturers decided to leave for all subsequent generations of Ignis.
The rear of the new 2017 Suzuki Ignis spoiled the design a bit. Compared to the austere and accentuated front end, the back looks like a child's toy, although some may like it. The upper part is occupied by the trunk glass, one might say, almost the entire width of the Ignis.
A wiper was placed at the bottom of the glass. Rear optics, depending on the configuration, can be halogen or LED (for the maximum configuration). Divided into two parts, one is located on the C-pillar, the other on the trunk lid.
In the center of the trunk lid, as befits the Suzuki emblem, under the emblem there is a handle for opening the trunk and a rear-view camera. A lot of space is taken up by the rear bumper. In the central part of the bumper of the Suzuki Ignis 2017, the designers added an insert made of black plastic, and on its sides there are rear fog lights.
The roof of the new Suzuki Ignis 2017, depending on the taste of the buyer, can be in the body color or painted black, as well as the front pillars with window edging. So far, the manufacturer does not offer sunroof options or a panoramic version of the Ignis 2017.
The dimensions of the compact hatchback are:
- length - 3700 mm .;
- width - 1660 mm. (normal version of the model);
- width - 1690 mm. (with optional Outdoor package);
- height - 1595 mm .;
- wheelbase - 2435 mm.;
- clearance - 180 mm.
With such dimensions, the minimum turning radius of the Suzuki Ignis 2017 is 4.7 m. All this pleasure will be installed on 15 "alloy wheels for the basic configuration, and for medium and maximum they will be 16". The volume of the fuel tank also depends on the equipment. For the front-wheel drive Suzuki Ignis 2017, the volume is 32 liters, and for the all-wheel drive version, 30 liters. Why so, and not vice versa, no one can really explain.
Available in 2017 Suzuki Ignis color scheme:
- red;
- bright orange metallic;
- neon blue metallic;
- golden metallic;
- white;
- silver metallic;
- the black;
- metallic blue;
- dark gray metallic.
For a metallic color, you will need to pay $ 410, for a two-tone body paint, the buyer will pay an additional $ 610. The curb weight of the Ignis 2017 ranges from 810 to 920 kg. The luggage compartment is a maximum of 267 liters, and with the seats folded 514 liters.
From the induced few characteristics, it becomes clear why the new Suzuki Ignis 2017 is attributed by some to compact crossovers, and all because of the drive and clearance. In general, the car turned out to be more attractive than its predecessor. Still, the compactness of the Ignis is very compact.
Salon of the new hatchback
Judging by the outer dimensions of the new Suzuki Ignis 2017, the interior is not particularly large, especially behind. Minimalism is visible around the entire perimeter. A 7 ″ touchscreen display of the multimedia system was placed in the center of the front panel. In the maximum configurations, the system works on the basis of Android Auto or AppleCarPaly. As expected, the navigation map will be displayed on the central display, the all-round view system will show the situation around Ignis thanks to surveillance cameras. They will be integrated in the side mirrors, on the front windshield and behind on the boot lid. For the most part, the display resembles a regular tablet with a distinctive bezel and fasteners.
To the right and left of the display, there are holes for air supply. Immediately under the display, an emergency parking button and a front passenger airbag deactivation button were placed. Going down below the climate control panel is visible, here you can clearly see from the buttons that starting from the basic configuration, both the front and rear windows will be heated. Under this panel, the designers of the Suzuki Ignis 2017 placed a 12V charging and a USB port paired with an AUX connector. Between them are control buttons for different security systems.
Near the lever and closer to the charges there will be a plastic sheathing of a certain color. It can be either in the body color or in another shade that the buyer chooses. Although the technology is modern, the engineers decided to leave the handbrake in the Suzuki Ignis classic, not electromechanical. The front panel and door trims itself will be white or cream in color, but the door handles from the passenger compartment are similar in color near the gearshift lever.
The steering wheel is made in the style of Suzuki and there is nothing particularly new, three spokes, two of them have multimedia buttons, with the ability to control functions on the display and individual car systems.Behind the wheel are control levers for turns, wipers, lighting, etc.
The Ignis dashboard is also located here. In the very center there is a large and easily visible speedometer, you can see it so that the car does not take off due to its low weight.
A monochrome display is located on the right, it displays various indicators, hours, tire pressure. For the hybrid configuration of the Suzuki Ignis 2017, the only difference will be in the presence of the battery charging indicator. The electronic fuel gauge will display the fuel level and calculate the range based on the average speed.
To the left of the speedometer is a tachometer, with many different sensors in a circle, for example, an open door sensor, a seat belt or a handbrake. In general, the front panel of the Ignis turned out to be quite good and pretty pretty, but unlike the strict exterior design, most of the interior details are made in a round shape.
As for the interior upholstery, the seats will only be in black fabric, while the steering wheel is in leather. The rear row of seats is quite simple, the seats are divided among themselves, in addition, there is an armrest. Each seat can be moved forward if desired. Although not to say that there is a lot of space for rear passengers, a tall or overweight passenger will immediately rest their knees on the back of the front seat.
Speaking of the interior of the 2017 Suzuki Ignis, it is generally quite good for a compact hatchback. The front panel could be made a little better and more saturated, since the squeezed out screen immediately looks like a tablet on a stand.
Hatchback specifications
The new Suzuki Ignis 2017 hatchback will not please with a special variety. In total, two engine options for 16 valves will be available, this is a 1.2 liter gasoline engine. DualJet and a hybrid version based on the DualJet SHVS ENG A-Stop petrol unit with a volume of 1.2 liters.

From such parameters, we can conclude that Suzuki Ignis 2017 is for the most part intended for travel over short distances or around the city, an economical and small one simply will not take a lot of things in the trunk for a train. It is reliably known that the type of engines will not be finalized, and the existing list is final for this generation of Suzuki Ignis 2017.
2017 Ignis hatchback safety
Despite the fact that the Suzuki Ignis 2017 hatchback is compact and small, the car is quite a lot stuffed with safety systems, both active and passive. A dual camera on the windshield attached to the rearview mirror will help you recognize obstacles in front of the vehicle. The system is configured in such a way as to avoid collisions as much as possible, and if necessary, the Ignis brakes will apply automatically.
Thanks to these cameras, the system recognizes the brake light of the vehicle in front and sends a corresponding signal to the driver. Also, the stabilization system of the car, with sharp turns or drifts, can be considered not unimportant. In the maximum configuration of the Suzuki Ignis 2017, adaptive cruise control will be installed. Cameras around the hatchback will allow the driver to understand the situation around the vehicle.
Not without airbags, two in front for the driver and passenger, as well as side curtains around the entire perimeter, to protect against side impact. The manufacturer Suzuki promises to bring up a complete list of what you can still equip the compact Ignis hatchback 2017 with.
Vehicle equipment and price
The differences between the three main configurations of the Suzuki Ignis 2017 are mainly only in the gearbox and the configuration of various systems and little things.
