If I remember correctly, Suzuki Ignis should be the last new car released in the domestic market before Suzuki withdraws from the Chinese market. Because it is an imported car, this brand new Suzuki small SUV is destined not to save Suzuki, which was already in jeopardy at that time, in the domestic market. Therefore, I don’t think most people will have any impression of this Suzuki Ignis that briefly appeared in the domestic market.
And recently, Suzuki released the facelifted Ignis. After this year’s Geneva International Motor Show was canceled due to the epidemic, the debut of the new car was placed on the Internet.
From the appearance point of view, the main changes of Suzuki Ignis launched in the European market focus on the changes of the air intake grille and the front bumper mask. After replacing the porous air intake grille, the exterior texture of the vehicle has been improved to a certain extent, and the sense of thickness of the vehicle has also been strengthened.
Inside the vehicle, the facelifted Suzuki Ignis has also re-adjusted the color scheme of the interior and redesigned the image of the instrument panel. Other than that, it hasn’t changed much.
The facelifted model has more changes focused on the power aspect. The new car is replaced with a brand new 1.2L gasoline engine. Compared with the old model, the new power adopts the variable valve timing of the electric intake valve. Variable displacement oil pump, etc. According to Suzuki’s official news, the optimization of this series of details will make the power of the facelifted Suzuki Ignis more powerful and efficient.
The new model also gets an improved mild-hybrid system, with a larger 10-amp-hour battery pack replacing the older model’s 3-amp-hour battery pack. Obviously, this will allow the facelifted Suzuki Ignis to capture more deceleration braking energy. In terms of the market, the new Suzuki Ignis will be the first to be launched in the UK this spring.
