2005 Suzuki Ignis?

chrisducati

anyone seen anymore info on it? I bet the new Suzuki suv will be a rebadge of the new Daewoo/Chevy that is on the show circuit

Is there any information out there at all regarding this car?

I haven't seen anything more. There was never anything official from Suzuki about it...I inferred it from the fact that they registered Ignis as a US trademark. But they will have to bring out some more new models soon if they are to meet their goal of 9 new models by 2007. So far they have launched 4 of them: Verona, Forenza, Forenza Wagon and Reno. They are not counting the Aerio restyle as a "new model", based on what their press releases say. So they have 5 models to go...

All I know about this car is what I've read on foreign automotive sites, sounds like a fun car. Hope they get it here.

I hope it comes here too. And the new Swift. Not the GM/daewoo Kalos badged swift plus that Canada has but the real Suzuki model.

I own the twin of the Swift+, the Aveo. It's a good commuter, but I would love to see Suzuki bring these cars over!

 

There is a review of the Ignis Sport on an Australian "auto web" site that makes me desperate to drive one.

Could this possibly be a modern day Suzuki Samurai?

Suzuki makes a modern Samurai. It's called Jimny

more models to go.... from the Edmunds, MT , ,AW, Intellichoice, etc, Future Models, you can find out more on Suzuki for 07-08,etc...

They are calling for the SX4(wagon Aerio?), and a Sporty Edition of the Reno(New model in the line up).

Would a Sporty Reno be considered separate from the normal ones?

Same for SX4. Aerio, or separate from the sedan?

I've seen the Swift's over in China, cannot say anything about quality as I did not drive one. But those things have a distinct European flavor and I'd buy one if the price was right and crash tests were good.

New Swift crash test got 4 stars out of 5 on the euroncap, same as the Honda Fit.
