The all-new Suzuki Ignis will go on sale in January 2017, priced from £9,999, with a choice of two or four wheel drive and the option of a hybrid.

Its 1.2-litre dualjet petrol engine delivers 90ps with emissions of 104g/km, or if you opt for Suzuki’s SHVS mild hybrid system (£12,999) the CO2 figure drops to 97g/km.

Two-wheel drive hybrid models can achieve an average mpg figure of 65.7, data for other models is yet to be released.

In part, this efficiency can be attributed to the car’s low kerb weight of 810kg which was a key credential in the development of the new model.

Dubbed a ‘compact crossover’ Suzuki says the car features excellent visibility, a spacious cabin and ample luggage space of 267 litres.

It also adopts sliding rear seat functionality that can increase load space by 165mm, plus the ability to fold down the rear seatbacks increasing load volume to 514 litres.

Standard equipment for all Ignis models includes six airbags, air conditioning, DAB radio with Bluetooth, 15-inch wheels, body coloured door mirrors, front electric windows and five seat capacity. 

SZ-T adds satnav, rear view camera, 16-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, wheel arch extensions and four seat capacity with individually sliding rear seats.

SZ5 adds climate control, Dual Camera Brake Support, keyless entry and start, rear electric windows and LED headlights with front foglamps.

The Ignis is available in one solid colour, five optional metallic colours and five two tone colours where the roof colour on all is Super Pearl Black Metallic.
