The Cultus retailed under various names globally, notably as the Suzuki Swift. While the Cultus-based Swift was replaced by the Ignis in Europe and Australasia, Japanese models were in fact badged Suzuki Swift—thus debuting the "Swift" name in that market.

II (facelift 2020) Overview:

Suzuki Ignis (II (facelift 2020)). With 107 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. Weighing only 940 kg, it’s quite light. All‑wheel drive provides excellent grip, ideal for off‑road use. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 12.8 s). The top speed reaches 165 km/h. A vehicle that combines characteristics of SUVs and hatchbacks for versatility. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.

1.2 Dualjet (83 Hp) Mild Hybrid 4WD Verdict:

Rating 4 stars

Performance Verdict

Combines the capable 4WD system with the efficient 83 Hp mild-hybrid engine. Acceleration is modest, but the focus is on traction and economy in varied conditions. Likely a manual transmission.

Fuel Economy

Good fuel economy for a 4WD vehicle, though the 83 Hp engine might feel a bit strained on highways. The mild-hybrid system helps maintain efficiency.

Best Use Case: Rural areas, light off-roading, and regions with challenging weather where 4WD is beneficial, coupled with a desire for good fuel economy.

Pros and Cons:

Pros:

  • • Excellent fuel economy across the range due to mild-hybrid technology
  • • Compact size makes it highly agile and easy to park in urban environments
  • • Optional AllGrip 4WD system provides genuine capability for light off-roading or challenging weather
  • • Surprisingly spacious interior and practical boot for its exterior dimensions
  • • Distinctive and charming styling that stands out from competitors
  • • Suzuki's reputation for reliability and low running costs

Cons:

  • • Modest engine power, especially the 83 Hp variants, can feel strained on highways
  • • CVT transmission, while smooth, can be noisy under hard acceleration
  • • Interior materials are generally hard plastics, reflecting its budget-friendly positioning
  • • Rear passenger space is adequate but can be tight for taller adults on longer journeys
  • • Small fuel tank capacity (30L) means more frequent refueling stops despite good MPG
  • • Basic safety features on entry-level trims (referencing 3-star NCAP without safety pack)
