Suzuki Ignis MF

2016 – 2021 — Japan

Summary: The Suzuki Ignis is an automobile nameplate first introduced in 2000 as a subcompact car, replacing the Suzuki Cultus. In 2016, the Ignis was rebranded as a crossover-styled city car. While the Cultus was sold under various names globally, it was known as the Suzuki Swift in some regions. The Ignis replaced the Cultus-based Swift in Europe and Australasia but in Japan, it was sold as the Suzuki Swift. The name "Ignis" is derived from Latin, meaning "fire." Additionally, a collaboration between General Motors (GM) and Suzuki resulted in the Ignis serving as the basis for the Chevrolet Cruze starting in 2001. Key Points: 1.
