Another great review!! This car will sell like hotcakes in Cyprus. It is perfect for young couples who want to have a cheap fun car for doing a little rough driving if needed. It would have been perfect for my wife a few years ago, exploring the mountain roads of cyprus, then popping down to the local village shop where the roads are small.. In fact, I do see many of the older generations in Cyprus and the cars such as the SX4. I love the new design language, not too girly like others of this kind of size. The interior looks great, and I would think our suitcases would fit. Cheers to you both :)
Thank you Matt, you’ve hit the nail in the head, the perfect vehicle for narrow roads and a bit of adventuring at the same time, a ride height that copes with most tasks, and a hybrid system that really helps the 1.2 - we do love this colour scheme too.
Another brilliant in-depth review which is invaluable when purchasing a new or used car. Recently bought a used Berlingo Mk3 and the time you take reviewing models is priceless and certainly helped me pick the right car for my family. Keep up the excellent work.😍
@@PlanetautoUK After repeated watching of your Rifter and Berlingo reviews, I opted for the Berlingo as they are fundamentally the same car but the Berlingo was cheaper with the 1.2 petrol 7 Seater XL more common than then Rifter 1.2 petrol 7 Seater Long. Many may think the 1.2 is a crazy choice for the 7 seater but the 1.2 engine, whilst no hotrod, has plenty go, is willing with enough torque to get the beast moving and has a lighter clutch than the diesel. It's returning over 40mpg in hilly rural driving and is super comfortable. Love the high driving position and space inside. The equipment level is good and its a world away from van based MPVs of old. I tried a Vauxhall Combo Life 7 Seater SWB and it feels more nimble but that rear row of seats is tight and your knees are pressed against the second row plus there is no boot space with the 3rd row in place. Having watched your reviews, I knew more about the vehicles than the salesmen at each test drive 🤣 Stellar work and the amount of time/effort you pour into the reviews is truly appreciated. 👏
Knowledge is power, that’s hilarious - it’d be nice to drive the Vauxhall, thank you for continuing to watch and support us, can I ask if you seen our latest review the Golf GTE? we tweaked the format and made it a bit shorter and more streamlined. It’d be great to hear your view, thank you
@@PlanetautoUK Another great review crammed full of facts, figures and opinion covering every key aspect of the car. I have to say it felt a little hurried compared to your normal format. Best way to describe it.... previously I enjoyed a full ploughman’s lunch, today I had a triple ploughman’s sandwich. All the elements were there, I just scoffed it down quicker but probably didn’t savor the experience as much.
Thank you, that’s exactly what we needed to hear, the challenge is after c19, people’s attention spans have plummeted - meaning we need a happy medium, we’ll keep perfecting
This is certainly not a car I’d be in the market for guys but I watched your thorough review to the very end because they are always so well put together. I must admit, I am a fan of the latest Jimny even though it is way to small for my needs. I must say that for a little car, this one has pretty much everything anyone could ever need and to have the 4x4 is excellent for people who live in places that can often get snow and ice. Thank you for your hard work guys. I look forward to your reviews. Greetings from Cumbria in the U.K. Stay safe and well everyone. One question: was this filmed around the south of Cumbria and possibly Morecomb?
Thank you, @Trevorfoggia - so glad you enjoyed this review 👍Your response has made our day! Well spotted - we filmed this in Arnside, Silverdale and Milnthorpe (we live in Silverdale) *A
@@PlanetautoUK I live in a tiny little hamlet called Nethertown, if you blink you’d miss it. When we are out of all this bloody COVID crap you’d be most welcome to stop by for a tea break on your road trip reviews - you’d be most welcome.
Ah thank you, that would be most welcome - we know where you are too, Annabelle has a friend in Seascale and we both used to do mystery shops in Whitehaven .
I'd like to know how the width felt in comparison to the similar width Toledo of Lloyd Vehicle Consulting fame? I believe there is only 16mm difference but the Toledo always seems to come across much wider and spacious
@@PlanetautoUK My pleasure and I will write back. A couple of months from now and it´s here ;) I really like your reviews as well as the locations seen in the videos. Cheers from me in Denmark.
Even when we have a base level model, we highlight the features on top of the range, as many choose to upgrade, also if we didn’t cover the majority, we wouldn’t be doing the vehicles justice. Hopefully this goes some way to explaining, thank you Leo and we hope you enjoyed the review.
You mention the LED headlights - is that both dip and main beam? ( I have a Vitara SZ5- LED dip only, so bright that going to main beam adds almost nothing)
I just can't seem to identify the target market for the Ignis especially on higher level trims. Youth will likely want something cheaper and/or sporty with the usual trending brands, family buyers will likely want something much larger so I'd imagine older buyers maybe with motability scheme etc. With that said I have seen previous generation models doing the rounds so what do I know
@@PlanetautoUK the Panda certainly attracted the budget conscious older buyer or maybe the younger buyer more interested in insurance premiums and super low running costs over performance and image. Newer generation Panda owners may also have been kids in the older generation Pandas of the late 80's and 90's, Ignis wasn't a common sight at any point. I can see many youth opting for the lower specified but mainstream Clio/Fiesta/Corsa family as the safe bet
I have a SUZUKI IGNIS and I'm 23 years old, I choose it beacuse of it's unique design I just fell in love with it. The size is very comfortable for city and veryy fuel efficient, feels really stylish and with the mini SUV look also looks more hight end. Great value for your money
Don't be mislead by its exterior size, it's incredibly spacious on the inside. Thanks to the clever design it beats my old Audi A4 when it comes to leg room. You can fit a massive child seat in the rear seat and it is still not too cramped for a mid-sized adult in the front. Boot still compares well enough to a Polo or a Fiesta. It's the perfect family city car.
What Suzuki and Hyundai are failing to tell customers is that their ‘hybrid’ cars aren’t hybrid. They’re mild hybrid and offer zero distance on electric motor and almost all models barely add any discernible performance or power to the engine - purely a cash grab swapping the battery for a 48 volt one to cope with infotainment and air-con under the guise of a ‘hybrid’ badge. When the government define hybrid vehicle as specifically being able to power a motor vehicle ‘x’ number of miles for the new euro emissions standard, you’re screwed. You overpaid 1000’s for just a 48v battery and bought it labelled as a hybrid, but WONT be able to sell it labelled as a ‘hybrid’ lol.
Many motors are 48v MHEV, even ones that aren’t offer no pure electric range, it’ll be interesting to see what actually sticks, for example all houses from June need to have an EV charger, it’s a strange time.
Drove the 2022 hybrid model. Drove Toyotas and Honda's all my life. Decent car for the price. But wasn't much enjoyment while driving. Decent for a run around.
6 foot 3 and you can sit okay. Amazing!
I can, very easily, thank you Sutats

Thank you Derek
Most enjoyable and informative review. The two-hander format works well. Thank you.
Thank you for the kind words gb
Just bought a used 2021 MHEV Ignis SZ3 so let’s see how good it is.
They’re a joy 🤩 they really are sad they’ve gone now 🎃
Love my Iggy, love your review ❤
Fantastic vehicle, thank you 😊

A very nice and relaxing car review channel. A pleasure to watch. If im right, isnt that near Arnside and Silverdale ?
Thank you Simon for such kind words and yes you are correct, we live in Silverdale.
Nicely presented review,thanks for posting.
Thank you Mel
Very much enjoyed your review you work well together as a team review definitely subscribing thank you
Thank you very much Annemarie

Super review and I am about to order one. Sure I am ;) Thank you.

Why do reviewers always use the "top of the range" versions and insist on highlighting the features that don't come with the other cheaper versions?
Even when we have a base level model, we highlight the features on top of the range, as many choose to upgrade, also if we didn’t cover the majority, we wouldn’t be doing the vehicles justice. Hopefully this goes some way to explaining, thank you Leo and we hope you enjoyed the review.
Wow...In India this colour not available...I love this...
Oh yes, it looks amazing and really sets it off,thank you Bijoy
You mention the LED headlights - is that both dip and main beam? ( I have a Vitara SZ5- LED dip only, so bright that going to main beam adds almost nothing)
Good point, we’ll double check? Think it’s both
@@PlanetautoUK I'll let you know myself soon - SZ5 allgrip on the way
Good review
Thank you Craig
Probably no grab handles cause of the curtain airbag being there??
Others manage it though, it’d be interesting to know, thank you Durgam
@@PlanetautoUK a few Ford cars don't get grab handles too
@@Durgam.Bhargav yes where as Genesis etc have handles above every door, it’s strange just being the drivers on most.
@@PlanetautoUK it could also be a way of cost cutting by manufacturers. But you never know hahaha
Yes, it’s perplexing, we’ll maybe never know 😀 - that’s both of ours mission, find out - thank you Durgam

It’s an interesting one, bit like the Panda, an alternative small vehicle with capabilities to go off the beaten track, maybe? Thank you John

Where is this nice area you try this ignis?
AONB Morecambe bay, thank you Fabrice
@@PlanetautoUK thank you, and interesting informations about the ignis
Thank you Fabrice, this is where we live too, have a lovely day
Is the ignis GLX the same as rhe tz5???
Which country are you in, this’ll help us find you an answer.
@@PlanetautoUK oh okay I'm in Australia! :)
There’s no TZ5 Do you mean SZ5 or SZT😊
@@PlanetautoUK yes whichever is comparable to the glx
The engines are all the same, well at least in the UK, are you after All Grip?
Allahumma sholli'ala Muhammad wa'ala ali Muhammad 🙏
شكرا لك
Bad colour,other drivers have a problem seeing green,that's why army vehicles are green.
Camouflage you mean, that relates to virtually any surrounding where motor blends, surely?
♥️
Thank you 🙏
noise is bad
It isn’t, our mic is sensitive

What’s a K car?
Do you mean Kei car?
It has Kei car characteristics of course it’s not it wasn’t dev’d for solely JDM
@@PlanetautoUK yeah
Drove the 2022 hybrid model. Drove Toyotas and Honda's all my life. Decent car for the price. But wasn't much enjoyment while driving. Decent for a run around.
Sorry to hear it wasn’t enjoyable, Fearghal. I found it a great little run around, and especially nippy on the back roads around here. *A
