Suzuki seem to be on a roll IMHO. New Swift looks good. The Vitara with the 1.4 petrol turbo engine seems to get a lot of praise. The new Ignis looks sharp, maybe capturing the funkiness that the wee Panda had about 12 years ago?

The ignis is not in the 'next size up' from the celerio, only marginally bigger it sits within the same 'city car' class. The swift, size wise, sits at the smaller end of the supermini class, whereas the baleno is at the larger end. As for the vitara and S-cross, apart from the bigger boot in the S-cross, they are about the same size.

This seems a bit odd at first glance, but is it?, or is suzuki being a bit clever?.

If you think about it, suzuki are providing cars for older drivers with more conservative taste, and also to younger more fashion concious types:

Conservative Trendy

Celerio Ignis

Baleno Swift

S-cross Vitara

If they can manage this and make a profit, good on them!

I think the ignis looks brilliant, so frankly, i'm jealous!.

Nothing really wrong with the celerio, it is a very spacious, practical and cheap car. But, it just looks so dowdy and bland, willfully so!. Compared to that, the ignis is so much more appealing to look at, and yes, in my opinion, trendy!
