Discover whether Mitsubishi Space Star or Suzuki Ignis fits your lifestyle better.
The compact car segment presents two noteworthy contenders: the Mitsubishi Space Star and the Suzuki Ignis. Both vehicles cater to the urban adventurer seeking a balance of economy, style, and functionality. Let's dive into the specs and innovations each brings to the table.
Under the hood, the Space Star packs a 1.2-liter petrol engine churning out 71 horsepower, delivering a modest but practical performance. The car features both manual and automatic transmissions, with the automatic option utilizing a CVT for smooth shifting. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h ranges from a relaxed 14.1 to 15.8 seconds, with a top speed of 163 to 167 km/h, making it suitable for daily commuting.
In contrast, the Suzuki Ignis showcases a slightly larger 1.2-liter petrol mild-hybrid engine with 83 horsepower. It offers both manual and CVT options and can be configured with front-wheel or all-wheel drive. This configuration allows for slightly quicker acceleration, reaching 0-100 km/h in 12.7 to 12.8 seconds, and achieves a top speed of 155 to 165 km/h.
Fuel efficiency is a strong suit for both cars. The Space Star's consumption figures range between 4.9 to 5.5 liters per 100 kilometers, while the Ignis boasts comparable consumption rates of 4.9 to 5.4 liters per 100 kilometers. These fuel-efficient engines are complemented by their CO2 emissions, with the Space Star producing between 112 to 125 g/km and the Ignis at 110 to 122 g/km. Both offer a C to D CO2 efficiency class, underlining their commitment to reduced environmental impact.
Dimension-wise, the Space Star measures 3845 mm in length, 1665 mm in width, and stands 1505 mm tall. This compact footprint houses a trunk capacity of 209 to 235 liters, suitable for light cargo. Meanwhile, the Ignis measures 3700 mm in length, with a width of 1690 mm and height of 1605 mm, offering slightly more headroom. It compensates with a higher trunk capacity ranging from 204 to 267 liters, proving its versatility for urban errands and leisure travel.
Both vehicles comfortably seat five passengers, although the Ignis offers a slight variation with potential 4-seat configurations for specific models. This flexibility is a bonus for those who prioritize space over the number of seats.
In terms of technology, both vehicles provide standard infotainment systems designed to enhance the driving experience. The inclusion of modern connectivity options in newer models ensures drivers remain connected and entertained on the road.
The Mitsubishi Space Star and the Suzuki Ignis each offer a distinctive appeal. Whether it’s the Space Star's simplicity and economy or the Ignis's hybrid technology and versatility, buyers are presented with compelling choices in the compact segment. Ultimately, the decision hinges on individual preferences, whether prioritizing fuel efficiency, performance, or interior space.
