MF Series II GL Hatchback 5dr CVT 1sp 1.2i Suzuki's light-class Ignis SUV has plenty of quirky charm. Powered by a thrifty 66kW/120Nm 1.2-litre four-cylinder petrol engine driving the front wheels through a CVT transmission, it is more a mini hatchback than an SUV. The appealingly chunky Suzuki is available in GL and GLX model grades, both standard with sat-nav, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, voice control, cruise control and roof rails. The pricier GLX gets bigger, 16-inch alloy wheels, climate-control and push-button starting. Though the boot only measures 264 litres, the Ignis will carry four adult passengers with surprising comfort. Although it scores well for active safety, the Ignis misses out on the latest electronic safety aids.
ABS brakes automatically sense when a tire has stopped rotating under extreme braking, and will modulate the brake pressure to allow the tire to rotate.This increases the vehicles ability to turn while braking.
Stability control automatically senses when the vehicles handling limits have been exceeded and reduces engine power and/or applies select brakes to help prevent the driver from losing control of the vehicle.
Front-impact airbags for the driver and passenger have been designed to protect the head during a frontal crash.
Side impact airbags for the front seats have been designed to protect the torso during a side impact collision.
Overhead airbags are used to protect the occupant's heads in the event of a side collision or rollover.
Seatbelt pretensioners automatically tighten seatbelts to place the occupant in the optimal seating position during a collision.
Anti-whiplash head restraints actively react to rear collision forces and craddle the occupants head in an effort to reduce the likelihood of a whiplash injury.
The vehicle is equipped with a means of anticipating and/or detecting unwanted vehicle intrusion. The vehicle is equipped with an ignition disable device that will prevent the engine from starting if the correct original manufacturer key is not used.
