Used Suzuki Ignis for sale in Europe

About the Suzuki Ignis

The Suzuki Ignis is a small, tall city car with a short body and a high seating position. It suits drivers who want easy parking, light controls and a compact footprint, and it can also work as a small family second car. It has always been a five-door hatchback.

Two distinct generations appear in used listings. The older car is from the 2000s and uses small petrol engines, with a diesel offered on some later cars. The newer one dates from 2016 and uses a 1.2 petrol engine, with a mild-hybrid version and an optional four-wheel-drive system.

Listings in several countries also include cars running on LPG or CNG. These are usually conversions, so the paperwork and installation matter. Because the two generations are so different in age and price, it helps to decide early which one you are comparing.

Generations

• First generation (2000-2008) — A small hatchback with 1.3 and 1.5 petrol engines, a four-wheel-drive option and a sporty 1.5 Sport version, plus a diesel on some later cars.
• Second generation (2016-present) — A compact crossover-style hatchback with a 1.2 petrol engine, a mild-hybrid option, manual or automated manual gearbox and optional AllGrip four-wheel drive.

Typical prices

Asking prices in our listings split into two clear groups. Cars from the 2000s are cheap, with a median of around €2,000 for 2005, and condition matters more than year. Cars from the 2016 generation rise steadily with each model year: the median is €10,500 for 2017, €13,600 for 2020 and €19,400 for 2024. Within one year, the gap between lower and upper quartiles often reflects mileage, trim, hybrid or four-wheel-drive equipment, and the country of the seller. These are asking prices in our listings on 2026-11-10, not a valuation.

What to check when buying a used Suzuki Ignis

Start with a cold start and a test drive on mixed roads, then compare the service history with the mileage. Look at the car in daylight and ask for the paperwork for any optional equipment or conversion.

• Rust on older bodies · First generation (2000-2008)

  Cars of this age can corrode around the sills, wheel arches, door bottoms and underbody. Look underneath and along the seams. Check that any repair work looks tidy, because poor patching can hide deeper corrosion.

• Four-wheel-drive versions · First generation (2000-2008)

  If the car has four-wheel drive, ask when the transfer and rear drive components were last serviced. Listen for noises from the rear on tight turns and check that the tyres are all the same brand and wear level.

• Diesel and ageing parts · First generation (2000-2008)

  On a diesel, check for smoke, hesitation and a full service record. On any car from this period, inspect rubber parts, suspension bushes and cooling system hoses, as they age with time as well as mileage.

• Automated manual behaviour · Second generation (2016-present)

  Where the car has the automated manual gearbox, test it in town traffic and at parking speed. Shifts should be predictable without harsh jerks. A manual gearbox should engage cleanly, with no grinding or slipping clutch.

• Mild-hybrid equipment · Second generation (2016-present)

  Check the specification to see whether the car has the mild-hybrid system. Make sure there are no warning lights on the dashboard. Ask whether the dealer or previous owner has had the hybrid components checked during servicing.

• AllGrip and general wear · Second generation (2016-present)

  On four-wheel-drive cars, ask about servicing and check for uneven tyre wear. On all cars, inspect interior trim, infotainment function and the rear seat sliding mechanism if fitted, as small cars often work hard in city use.

• LPG and CNG conversions

  If the car runs on LPG or CNG, ask for the installer's certificate and inspection records. Check for gas smells, find out where the tank is, and make sure the car also starts and runs smoothly on petrol.
