Design & Presence

The Ignis wears its compact-SUV ambitions on its sleeve with chunky wheel arches, upright glasshouse and a cheeky, boxy silhouette that stands out in city traffic rather than trying to blend in. At 3,700 mm long and 1,605 mm tall it feels taller than a supermini, which helps visibility and gives a proper small-SUV stance without bulk. The styling is playful rather than premium, with practical touches like short overhangs and visible bumper cladding that make it look tougher than the price tag suggests.

Interior & Usability

The cabin keeps things straightforward: durable plastics, clear controls and a layout focused on sensible ergonomics rather than luxury flourishes, so daily use stays fuss-free. Visibility is excellent thanks to tall windows and upright seating, and the front seats are comfortable for commute and short motorway stints even if long-distance cushioning is on the firm side. Higher trims add a touchscreen with smartphone mirroring and nicer trim inserts, but the overall atmosphere is honest and functional rather than lavish.

Space & Everyday Practicality

Boot volume sits around 267 litres in typical configuration, expanding to roughly 1,090 litres with the rear seats folded flat, which makes it useful for grocery runs, weekend bags or a collapsed pushchair but not for moving furniture. Rear legroom is compact—two adults can sit fairly comfortably for shorter trips, while three abreast will feel tight, so the Ignis is strongest as a city family car or second vehicle. Short overhangs and a tight turning circle make parking and narrow-street manoeuvres painless, which is where the small footprint pays off everyday.

Driving & Handling

Powered by a 1.2 Dualjet MHEV petrol unit that produces 83 hp (61 kW) and 107 Nm, the Ignis is tuned for urban agility rather than outright speed, with 0–100 km/h figures around 12.7–12.8 seconds and top speeds near 155–165 km/h. The mild-hybrid system helps low-speed response and start-stop feel but doesn’t turn the car into a punchy performer; overtakes on fast roads require planning. Steering is light and the ride suspension soaks up potholes well, while the optional all-wheel-drive model adds confidence on loose surfaces at the cost of a bit more weight and fuel use.

Efficiency, Consumption & Range

Fuel consumption officially sits in the 4.9–5.4 L/100 km range depending on gearbox and drivetrain, which translates to roughly 18–20+ km per litre in mixed driving and explains the Ignis’s appeal as a frugal urban runabout. Tank sizes vary around 30–32 litres, so a full tank typically delivers roughly 600–650 km between fills under normal use, with AWD and heavier trims at the lower end. The mild-hybrid system helps stop-start efficiency and city cycle economy, but real-world numbers depend on load and driving style.

Assistance, Infotainment & Practical Tech

The Ignis offers a compact but practical tech package: touchscreen infotainment with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on well-equipped trims, simple heating controls and straightforward menus that are easy to use while driving. Safety kit includes basic driver aids such as autonomous emergency braking and lane assistance options, covering essential modern needs without the complexity of high-end systems. Overall the technology supports everyday practicality rather than flashy gadgetry, which keeps costs and learning curve low for buyers.

Who Should Buy an Ignis?

The Ignis suits buyers after a compact, economical city crossover with a distinctive look, good visibility and genuinely useful packaging for urban life rather than those seeking pace or premium appointments. Current versions include manual and CVT automatic gearboxes, front- and all-wheel drive layouts, all powered by the same 83 hp 1.2 Dualjet MHEV engine, so choice centres on how much grip and convenience are needed. It is an efficient, characterful option for commuters, city families and those who want SUV styling in a footprint that never struggles to find a parking space.
