Used Suzuki Ignis Cars for Sale In Corby, Kettering, Northampton & Surrounding Areas

The Pocket-Size SUV That Outsmarts Midlands Roads

Is it a city car? Is it a 4×4? The Suzuki Ignis lives happily between the two! It is tall enough to see over estate car roofs and short enough to slot into that last space outside The Yards in Kettering. Add a frugal mild-hybrid system and optional ALLGRIP four-wheel drive, and you’ve got a machine perfectly suited to the A14 sprint, the B-road wiggle through Market Harborough, or the cobbled back lanes of Cambridge on a Saturday.

Five-Second Suzuki Ignis Facts

The Suzuki Ignis is perfectly tailored for local life. Its compact 3.7-metre length means you can slide into tight parallel parking spots outside Corby’s Savoy cinema with ease, no awkward three-point turns required. The AllGrip AUTO system lets you simply select “Snow” mode to confidently tackle the steep 14% incline of Kettering Hill, even before the gritters arrive.

Thanks to mild-hybrid assist, the Ignis automatically cuts the engine during A14 queue crawls and restarts it silently, saving fuel in stop-start traffic. With a 500 kg tow rating, it’s more than capable of hauling a camping trailer to Grafham Water—no need to upgrade to a larger SUV. Weighing just 1,100 kg, the Ignis delivers impressive efficiency, with customers regularly achieving 50–55 mpg on the Bedford bypass.

Which Ignis Fits Your Life?

Choosing the right Suzuki Ignis depends on your lifestyle! The SZ-T is a great fit for first-time buyers navigating Northampton’s urban sprawl, offering Apple CarPlay, roof rails, and a reversing camera for added convenience. For most couples in Market Harborough who are seeking extra comfort and tech, the SZ-5 adds keyless entry, LED headlamps, and automatic air conditioning, which delivers a noticeable gadget boost.

If you’re often parking on muddy verges near Wakerley Woods, the ALLGRIP SZ-5 is ideal, featuring the same advanced equipment plus push-button four-wheel drive and hill-descent control, making it especially popular with dog walkers and outdoor enthusiasts. A helpful tip: Ignis models built before 2022 have a two-piece rear bench, while 2022 models onwards switch to a three-across design; therefore, if you regularly juggle child seats, the newer layout could be a real advantage for you.

Questions We Hear Weekly

“Does the Ignis feel twitchy on the A1 crosswinds?”
Not if tyres are at 32 psi and the rear-seat backrests are locked. We demonstrate on your test-drive.

“Will four adults really fit?”
Two six-footers can sit behind two six-footers—provided rear seat bench is slid fully back (SZ-T/SZ-5).

“How long does the mild-hybrid battery last?”
It’s a 12 V lithium pack costing ≈£350; we’ve yet to replace one under 90 k miles.

“Can I roof-mount two bikes?”
Factory rails accept the standard Suzuki cross-bar kit; max dynamic load 30 kg—two MTBs or one e-bike.

“Is ALLGRIP worth the premium?”
If you live on a farm track or in a hilly village like Great Oxendon then yes. Otherwise, winter tyres on FWD do 90 % of the job.
