Comparison: length Suzuki Ignis vs. competitors 2024

When Suzuki introduced the Ignis, it was as if they had squeezed all the essence of a cheerful Labrador into a car’s body. With each wag of its tail, or rather each turn of its wheel, the Ignis promised joy, agility, and an urban readiness unseen in many of its contemporaries. Moving through the bustling city streets or fitting into that 'just-about-right' parking spot, the Suzuki Ignis, especially the latest facelift model, stands out not just because of its distinctive design but by virtue of its size. With a length of 3700 mm, it is quite the compact maverick, offering a blend of practicality and personality hard to find elsewhere.

Suzuki Ignis - How has the length changed over the generations?

Oh, how the times have changed, but has the Ignis kept pace? From its first barking debut in 2000 to the latest facelift model growling on the streets today, the Ignis has seen a breaststroke of evolution in size. Initially stretching a mere 3615 mm, the first generation was like a puppy finding its feet. By the second generation, it had nibbled a few more millimeters, growing to an impressive 3770 mm, only to settle, or perhaps crouch, back to 3700 mm from 2017 onwards, including the facelift version. It's like watching a dog trying to fit on a smaller bed, adapting yet still managing to sprawl with panache.

The difference in length between first generation (1.Generation) from 2000 and last generation (Ignis 3.Generation (1. Facelift)) from 2020 is 8.5cm mm.
The length of the current generation of Ignis is 3700 mm.

The length compared to other Suzuki models

Within the Suzuki pack, the Ignis isn't the smallest pup. That honor might go to the likes of the smaller yet equally feisty Suzuki Jimny, mirroring the Ignis at 3645 mm. The Suzuki Swift and its sportier sibling, the Swift Sport, are the bigger brothers, stretching at 3840 mm and 3890 mm, respectively, teaching the Ignis that size isn't everything. The giant of the family, the Across, towers above with a length of 4635 mm, watching over the compact Ignis like a protective older sibling. Yet, in this diverse family, the Ignis holds its own, proving that it's not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog.

How does the length of the Suzuki Ignis compare to it's nearest competitors?

But what of the neighbors? The competition is more like a dog show. You have the Audi Q3, sprawling at a lengthy 4385 mm, and the BMW X2, both larger but perhaps not as spirited in the city's concrete jungle. The lesser-known Daihatsu Terios, at 3845 mm, and the Cinquecento-inspired Fiat 500X, stretching 4248 mm, might look down upon our Ignis from a few millimeters up. Even the Jeep Renegade, posing at 4255 mm, and the Nissan Juke, puffing its chest at 4135 mm, outsize our plucky Suzuki. Yet, none wear their dimensions with the same audacious charm as the Ignis. It may not be the largest in the park, but it sure knows how to chase the bigger tails with an agility and heart unmatched by many. To this day, the Suzuki Ignis packs more fun per millimeter than most cars on the road.
