On my second Ignis Auto now. The 2023 is much improved from my previous 2018 model with improved steering and the mild hybrid addition. The CVT is much better than the Auto gear selector that it replaced although I would have preferred a conventional automatic box. I tried all the small city cars before I chose the Ignis but rejected them all. The closest rival was the Hyundai i10 but this had much less leg room for the driver (I am over 6ft with long legs) and rear passengers. It didn't have room for a spare wheel either, which the Ignis does. I regard this as essential. On a recent long journey the ignis returned an average of 65mpg with my average speed of 55-60mph. Around town I get 52mpg. A small thing that I like on the SZT model is is the wind down windows at the rear because I always used to open them by mistake when opening the front electrical ones.

The great thing about the wind down windows in the back of the Ignis is that they are positioned so that driver and front passenger can operate them by just stretching their arm behind them

I purchased a New Maruti Suzuki Ignis Automatic in 2023 in Nexa Blue color! My 84 years old Precious Mother finds ingress and exit very Easy! Sharp steering and Awesome Engine Response makes me thrilled all the time.1.2l-83 bhp with 11.2NM torque is sufficient for Indian Highways where speed limit is 120kmph. I never cross 80kmph as the Engine run in period is on. Autocar India Magazine suggested me to fix the run in period upto 5000 kms. Milage is 11kmpl in Town and 15.1 on Highway with A/C on all the time. I am So Happy Buying this Magnificent Car- IGNIS!

Probably the best and most comprehensive review on the Ignis I have seen..And I’ve seen a few… The only negative was it would have been good if you had put the car in ALLGRIP mode on some muddy land, and given us your views on how it handles in that situation. Never a serious off-roader, of course, but it would have been interesting to see the system employed somehow during the review. I own a 73 reg SZ5 ALLGRIP version, and opportunities to use it in ‘4WD’ to date have been rare. Delighted overall with the car.

I would actually recommend the CVT gearbox over the manual for the Ignis - the 4 cylinder engine sounds nice when combined with a bit of CVT rev-hunting and there's no performance penalty. The mild hybrid assistance also counters the occasional rubber banding on the CVT so overall it's easy to drive.

I have a top spec cvt and they have certainly improved on my old ford escort that used the daf system. One quirk is if you hold the car at a traffic lights on the footbrake the engine turns off for petrol saving but if you put it into neutral it comes back on. It's very quick away if you put your foot down. One surprise for a euro spec car, there is no heated wing mirrors or rear intermitant wash wipe that my previous Splash had. Both cars are Suzuki Swifts (same engine) in disguise. The Ignis doesn't have a coin tray or spectacle case holder that the Splash had. I did purchase a spare wheel on the recommendation of a RAC breakdown driver.
