Suzuki Ignis Price in Australia 2026: Run-Out Grades, Drive-Away Deals and What Is Still Available

The Suzuki Ignis has been one of the cheapest and quirkiest ways into a new car in Australia for years. It is tiny, light, cheap to fuel and easy to park, and it still wears the slightly retro SUV look that made it stand out. It is also a car nearing the end of its run, which matters if you are thinking of buying one now.

This guide covers the Ignis grades Suzuki Australia still lists, the official drive away prices and October 2026 offers, the key specs and safety equipment, why the Ignis is a run out model, and whether a leftover Ignis still makes sense against newer cars under $25,000. Prices and specs were checked on Suzuki Australia's website on 14 October 2026.

Suzuki Ignis price in Australia at a glance

Suzuki's drive away prices include registration, compulsory third party insurance, estimated dealer delivery and stamp duty, for private buyers. Premium, metallic and two tone paint costs extra. Suzuki Australia notes that it does not operate in northern New South Wales or Queensland, where a separate distributor sells Suzuki cars, so pricing there may differ. Our guide to on-road costs, drive away vs list price explains what these charges cover.

Which Ignis grades are still available?

Suzuki Australia's Ignis model page still lists all three grades: GL, GLX and Shadow. Its October 2026 offers page, however, only features the Ignis GL and Ignis Shadow, both with drive away pricing for cars purchased and delivered between 1 and 31 October 2026, while stocks last.

The GLX is still shown on the model page at $26,490 drive away, but it is not part of the October offer list. That usually means stock is thinner, so if you want a GLX, call a few dealers before you set your heart on a particular colour. Because the Ignis is a run out model, you are buying from stock that is already in the country rather than ordering a car from the factory.

Suzuki Ignis GL: the cheapest way in

The Ignis GL is the entry grade and the one Suzuki leads its offers with, at $25,135 drive away. It is also the only Ignis with seating for five, thanks to a conventional 60:40 split rear bench.

Standard equipment includes a 7 inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, steering wheel audio and voice controls, a reversing camera, cruise control, four speakers, manual air conditioning, front fog lights and roof rails. It rides on 15 inch steel wheels with 175/65 tyres, which give a little extra sidewall for kerbs and rough roads.

Suits: city drivers and first car buyers who want the lowest Ignis price and the extra rear seat.

Watch for: the basic feel of steel wheels and manual air conditioning, and the lack of autonomous emergency braking, which is covered in the safety section below.

Suzuki Ignis GLX: more comfort features

The Ignis GLX costs $26,490 drive away, $1,355 more than the GL. For that you get digital climate control, keyless entry and push button start, automatic LED headlights, daytime running lights, rear privacy glass, a chrome grille surround, two extra tweeters and 16 inch alloy wheels.

The biggest change is in the back. The GLX swaps the GL's bench for two individual rear seats that slide and recline, with a 50:50 split fold. That makes the Ignis a four seater, but it lets you trade rear legroom for boot space. With the rear seats moved forward, Suzuki quotes up to 516 litres to the window line.

Suits: buyers who want the nicer features and flexible rear seats and do not need a fifth seat.

Watch for: availability, since the GLX is not on the October offers page.

Suzuki Ignis Shadow: the styled top grade

The Ignis Shadow is the top grade at $27,690 drive away. It is based on the GLX and adds black side decals, a black roof edge spoiler and a Shadow badge. Mechanically and in equipment it matches the GLX, so you are paying $1,200 extra for the look.

Suits: buyers who like the styling and can find one in a colour they want.

Watch for: value. At this price you are close to the drive away price of newer small cars with more safety technology, as the comparison below shows.

Suzuki Ignis specs

Every Ignis uses the same drivetrain: a 1.2 litre DualJet four cylinder petrol engine with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) driving the front wheels.

The 4.9 L/100 km figure is Suzuki's official combined fuel consumption under the Australian ADR 81/02 test. On paper, a full 32 litre tank is enough for well over 600 km, though real world use will be higher in stop start traffic. At just 865 kg and 3.7 metres long, the Ignis is one of the lightest and shortest new cars you can buy, which makes it easy to park and cheap to run.

Ignis safety: what it has and what it does not

Suzuki lists six airbags (dual front, side and curtain), anti lock brakes, electronic brakeforce distribution, brake assist, electronic stability control and traction control, hill hold control and a reversing camera. There are two ISOFIX child seat points and three top tether anchorages.

What the Ignis does not have is autonomous emergency braking (AEB). Suzuki Australia's Ignis specification sheet does not list AEB, lane keeping assistance, blind spot monitoring or adaptive cruise control on any grade. Those features are now standard on most new small cars.

The Ignis also has no current ANCAP safety rating. A search of ANCAP's ratings database returns no rating for the Ignis, so there is no independent Australian crash score to compare against rivals.

Why is the Ignis being run out?

The official facts are these. Under Australian Design Rule 98/00, all new passenger vehicles must be fitted with an advanced emergency braking system. The rule applied to newly introduced models from 1 March 2023 and to all vehicles from 1 March 2025, based on their date of manufacture. Suzuki Australia's current Ignis specification sheet does not list AEB.

Suzuki Australia has not published a statement on its website explaining the Ignis's future, so we cannot quote an official end date. What buyers can see is that the Ignis is sold from existing stock, with offers that run while stocks last, and Suzuki's newer small car line up is built around the Suzuki Swift Hybrid and the Suzuki Fronx Hybrid. If you want an Ignis, buy from current dealer stock and do not expect to order a new one.

Warranty, servicing and roadside assistance

The Ignis comes with Suzuki's five year, unlimited kilometre new car warranty. Suzuki also offers up to five years of roadside assistance, which renews each year when you service the car at a Suzuki dealer under its genuine service program. Suzuki promotes five years of competitively priced genuine servicing. Check the exact cost of each service with your dealer or on Suzuki's servicing page before you buy.

A run out car is still a new car with a full new car warranty. New car warranties normally start from delivery or first registration rather than the build date, but ask the dealer to confirm the start date in writing. The build date does matter for resale, though, which we cover below.

Is a leftover Ignis still worth buying?

For the right buyer, yes, but it is no longer the obvious bargain it once was. Several newer small cars now sell for a similar or lower drive away price, and most of them have AEB and more modern safety technology.

Here is how the Ignis compares with other small cars around $25,000, using each brand's official Australian drive away offers. These were the October 2026 offers on each maker's own offers page.

A few things stand out:

• The Swift Hybrid is cheaper than the Ignis GL. At $24,990 drive away, Suzuki's own Swift Hybrid undercuts the Ignis GL by $145 and comes from a newer generation of Suzuki small car. If you like Suzuki and want a small hatch, test drive the Swift first.

• The MG3 and BYD Atto 1 are much cheaper. Both start at $19,990 drive away under their current offers, more than $5,000 below the Ignis GL. The Atto 1 is fully electric, so it suits buyers who can charge at home. Our MG4 Urban vs BYD Atto 1 comparison looks at that car in more detail.

• The Picanto is the closest in size. Kia's micro car is similar in footprint to the Ignis, and the Sport automatic is $23,390 drive away estimate under Kia's offer.

• The Fronx is Suzuki's small SUV. It costs more, but it gives you a bigger, newer small SUV with mild hybrid power from the same brand.

So who should still buy an Ignis? It makes the most sense if you specifically want its combination of very small size, light weight, higher 180 mm ground clearance and an upright SUV style driving position, and you are comfortable without AEB. It also suits buyers who like the GLX or Shadow's sliding rear seats, which no rival in this table offers.

If safety technology is high on your list, and for a first car it should be, a newer rival with AEB is the safer choice for the same or less money. Our best first cars for P platers guide explains which features matter most for new drivers.

Resale and ownership considerations

A run out model with no direct replacement can be harder to sell later, because buyers may see it as an older design. Keep that in mind if you plan to sell within a few years. If you plan to keep the car for a long time, resale matters less, and the Ignis's low running costs and simple mechanicals work in its favour.

Also check the build date on the compliance plate. Two cars with the same drive away price can have different build dates, and a newer build is usually better for resale. Ask the dealer for the build date in writing before you sign.

How to get the best Ignis deal

• Start with Suzuki's offer. The GL at $25,135 and Shadow at $27,690 drive away are Suzuki's published October prices for private buyers. Use them as your ceiling.

• Ask about remaining stock. Dealers with run out stock may be keen to clear it, especially as the month ends. Ask whether floor mats, tinting or a first service can be included.

• Compare colours and paint costs. Premium and metallic paint is extra, so a white car may be cheaper than the one in the photo.

• Check delivery timing. Suzuki's October offer requires purchase and delivery between 1 and 31 October 2026. If delivery slips into November, the offer price may not apply.

• Get a quote on the Swift Hybrid too. It is cheaper and newer, so it is a useful bargaining reference even if you prefer the Ignis.

The bottom line

The Suzuki Ignis is still on sale in Australia from $25,135 drive away for the GL, $26,490 for the GLX and $27,690 for the Shadow. It remains a charming, compact and fuel efficient city car, but it is a run out model without autonomous emergency braking or a current ANCAP rating.

Buy one if you love its size, style and flexible rear seats and you can find the grade and colour you want in stock. If you mainly want the cheapest, safest small car for your money, compare it carefully with the Swift Hybrid, MG3, Kia Picanto and BYD Atto 1, which all match or beat it on drive away price.
