Suzuki Australia has increased the pricing of the second-generation Ignis ‘light SUV’ once more.
The entry-level GL grade is now $750 dearer, with the five-speed manual variant priced from $18,740 plus on-road costs, while the continuously variable transmission (CVT) version checks in at $19,740.
Meanwhile, the flagship GLX grade has become $1750 more expensive, with it only offered with the CVT.
Of note, the Ignis was facelifted last June, when the GL and GLX variants received $1300 and $1000 price rises respectively.
For reference, the light SUV is motivated by a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine that produces 66kW of power at 6000rpm and 120Nm of torque at 4400rpm.
No matter the version of the Mazda CX-3, Toyota Yaris Cross, Volkswagen T-Cross, Hyundai Venue and Kia Stonic rival, front-wheel drive is in tow.

Head of Editorial
Justin’s dad chose to miss his birth because he wanted to watch Peter Brock hopefully win Bathurst, so it figures Justin grew up to have a car obsession, too – and don’t worry, his dad did turn up in time after some stern words from his mum.
That said, despite loving cars and writing, Justin chose to pursue career paths that didn’t lend themselves to automotive journalism, before eventually ending up working as a computer technician. But that car itch just couldn’t be scratched by his chipped Volkswagen Golf R (Mk7), so he finally decided to give into the inevitable and study a Master of Journalism at the same time.
And even with the long odds, Justin was lucky enough to land a full-time job as a motoring journalist soon after graduating and the rest, as they say, is history. These days, Justin happily finds himself working at CarsGuide during the biggest period of change yet for the automotive industry, which is perhaps the most exciting part of all.
In case you’re wondering, Justin begrudgingly sold the Golf R (sans chip) and still has plans to buy his dream car, an E46 BMW M3 coupe (manual, of course), but he is in desperate need of a second car space – or maybe a third.
