Champion Motors Bring Back the Legendary Suzuki Ignis
After almost ten years of silence, Champion Motors has snuck the classic Suzuki Ignis back into the Singapore market. The 2022 edition is not just a facelift—it’s a bold reimagining of what an urban sub‑compact SUV should be.
Why the Ignis deserves a spotlight again
The true charm of the original Ignis came from its tiny size paired with a zippy, spirited drive. This new model keeps that mojo alive, weaving together compact dimensions and a playful performance into a car that feels alive and unmistakably personality‑filled.
- Dinky proportions – perfect for tight city streets.
- Sporty handling – a punchy, responsive ride that never feels over‑engineered.
- Distinctive character – color palettes and styling cues that shout “here’s something different.”
- Modern amenities – safety tech and connectivity that keep it practical yet fun.
Get ready for fun on the go
When you hop into the 2022 Ignis, it’s like stepping into a lightweight racing sedan that’s happy to roam the city. The combination of its compact chassis and lively engine makes every stoplight and bus stop a quick, joyous detour.
Key takeaways
Champion Motors isn’t just reintroducing a name; they’re offering a characterful, confident driver’s experience that’s ready to steal highway shares without taking up much space. If you’re craving a vehicle that’s as enthusiastic about the city as you are, the new Ignis might be the answer you’ve been looking for.
Meet the Suzuki Ignis
Suzuki says the Ignis is “big on charm but low on fuel consumption.” That sounds like a recipe for a sweet, economical ride, but let’s see what that really means.
Power Under the Hood
- Engine: 1.2‑litre Dualjet
- Hybrid Tech: SMVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle) mild‑hybrid system
- Horsepower: 82 bhp
- Weight: 920 kg thanks to lightweight, high‑tensile steel
Despite the “low” 82 bhp, the Ignis is a trickster— it can sprint from 0‑100 km/h in a quick 12.7 seconds. Yep, all that skin‑deep lightness really makes it lean.
Fuel‑Efficiency That Feels Good
The car delivers a respectable 18.5 km per liter, proving you don’t always have to sacrifice speed for savings. It’s like getting the best of both worlds: a charming little beast that also keeps your tank happy.
Exterior design
Sporty Small‑Scale Design, Big Extra‑Credit
Despite its modest size, this model delivers a full‑blown sporty vibe straight out of the showroom. Picture a sleek, compact box that packs convenience and comfort with a splash of style—all while keeping the unmistakable Suzuki flavor.
Design DNA
- First‑generation Cervo & Vitara echoes: Clean lines that shout “retro cool.”
- Last‑gen Swift touches: A subtle nod to modern flair.
- Ignis‑only quirks: Straight edges and comforting curves that give the car its own personality.
Why It Stands Out
By merging classic Suzuki heritage with a fresh, distinct aesthetic, the car becomes more than just a ride—it’s a statement on the road. Its simple yet striking exterior pairs perfectly with an interior that feels both delightful and functional.
Meet the Car With a Face That Turns Heads
At first glance, this car’s front end is a showstopper. Think of the Cervino vibes, but with a little extra sparkle from the LED headlights that practically shout, “Look at me!” The grille lines are razor‑sharp—no, not cutting corners, but cutting glares—in a way that screams confidence and technical flair.
Why It’s a Talk‑of‑Town
- Front Face: The grille and headlights combine for a look that’s both bold and approachable.
- Powerful Shoulders: Those broad, muscular edges give the car a sense of strength, like a superhero in travel gear.
- Expressive Lower Body: The lower chassis twists and turns with a fluidity that feels alive—almost like the car is dancing under the street lights.
The Final Verdict
Picture a vehicle that’s not just a means of getting from point A to point B, but an experience that owns every curb it rides on. This front‑end design isn’t just for aesthetics; it’s engineered to tell a story of power, confidence, and an irrepressible personality—all while keeping you looking good in every photo op. Go ahead, hit the road and let the world know who you’re starring with!
On the inside
Compact Car, Big Heart
When you see the Ignis, you might picture a pocket‑sized sprite, but step inside and it’s like a roomy, cozy clubhouse.
So How Roomy Is It?
- Roll the rear seats straight back and you’re looking at over 500 L of cargo space—that’s more than a median midsize SUV, and plenty enough to cramp in a grocery run, a pair of duffel bags, or even a spontaneous weekend adventure.
- Short and sweet: it’s small on the outside, but it’s got a generous interior that feels surprisingly spacious.
Ignis: The Space‑Jet of Your Neighborhood
First Impressions
Right from the steering wheel, the Ignis jabs at the future with a rounded AC panel that feels more like a sci‑fi panel than a mundane accessory, paired with a meter cluster that screams “cool tech” every time you glance at it.
Dashboard Drama
Its dash isn’t just a bunch of buttons—think of a sweeping horizontal line, coated in richly textured materials that give the whole cabin a wide‑open, almost cloud‑like vibe. You’re practically cruising through a sky of comfort.
Plug‑In Nation
The Ignis doesn’t just seat you; it connects you. It comes pre‑loaded with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, plus the Suzuki Safety Support (ADAS) Suite for a full tech‑stack that keeps you safe and in sync while you drive.
All the Good Stuff Inside
- Android Auto integration for your favorite apps
- Apple CarPlay for a seamless iPhone experience
- Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) for added safety
- A dashboard that feels less like a car and more like a spaceship control panel
1. Dual camera brake support
How Smart Cars Keep You Safe on the Road (Below 5 km/h? No, On 5 km/h and Beyond!)
Picture this: you’re cruising along a city street, the radio pumping your favorite playlist, when suddenly your car’s stereo cameras pop up a warning. “Heads up!” they chirp, pointing out a traffic jam or a jogger in the crosswalk. Why? Because even at just over 5 km/h, modern vehicles are on guard duty, zooming in on everything ahead to keep you out of harm’s way.
What These Cameras Do (and Why It Matters)
- Spot Vehicles: From a quick delivery van to a leisurely golf cart, the cameras sniff out any cars creeping closer than you expect.
- Track Pedestrians: Those arm-wrestling pedestrians or on-the-move joggers never go unnoticed.
- Alert You: A discreet warning pops up on your dash—think of it as a friendly, robotic “Hey, be careful!”
- Auto Braking: If the situation escalates, the car has a built‑in “panic button” that triggers emergency stopping, shaving off unpredictable damage.
So next time you glide past 5 km/h, remember that you’re not just driving—you’re riding on a silent, ever‑watchful partner that loves to keep you safe.
2. Lane departure warning
Turn Signal Alert!
When you hit speeds of 60 km/h and up and forget to hit the turn signal, your car gives the steering wheel a gentle vibration and lights a warning icon on the dash. It’s like the machine is saying, “Hey, you’re driving a car, not a rocket—keep your eyes on the road!”
Why It Matters
- Safety first: The vibration is a friendly reminder to keep everyone on the road safe.
- Road courtesy: A quick nudge that helps you stay alert and avoid surprises.
Quick Action Tips
- Tap that turn signal before you start driving.
- Feel the steering wheel’s gentle buzz—now you’re on the right track.
- Enjoy a smoother ride, knowing the car’s got your back.
You’re in control!
Just consider it your car’s way of saying it cares about your safety—and gives you a gentle “shush” when you forget to signal.
3. Weaving alert warning
Sorry, but Your Car Has a Personal Trainer Now!
Ever felt like you’re doing a low‑speed dance instead of driving? That’s the Lane Wizard action—our car’s built‑in personal coach that keeps you from turning your road trip into a freestyle remix.
What the ‘Wizard’ Does
- Speed Check – kicks in once you hit more than 60 km/h.
- Weaving Detector – watches your steering wheel for that pesky lane‑wiggling.
- Buzzer Blowout – flashes the warning trumpet the moment you do.
- Meter Panel Light – activates a bright LED to keep you honest.
Neatly, it’s not a street‑law enforcement officer, just a polite reminder that staying in the lane keeps you safer and saves you from getting a ticket.
How It Feels
Picture this: you’re cruising, enjoying—then—ding! 👄 The buzzer pops up, the panel lights up, and suddenly you realize you might just need a pair of new driving gloves. A gentle nudge that keeps your journey smooth and your seat‑belt loosely snug.
