2023 Suzuki Ignis Exterior
The Ignis Shadow is based on the top-of-the-range GLX variant and gains a black roof spoiler, black side decals, and a Shadow badge. These features are all added locally.
This second-generation Ignis first arrived on Australian shores in late 2016 and received a mid-life update in 2020.
The ‘Series II’ update was centred around cosmetic changes to the Ignis and didn’t bring any additional safety kit, nor did it bring the mild-hybrid powertrains offered in Europe.
2023 Suzuki Ignis Safety Rating
The 2023 Suzuki Ignis remains untested by ANCAP, though the European-market model received a three-star safety rating in 2016 which has since expired.
In Euro NCAP testing, the Ignis scored 79 per cent for adult occupant protection, 79 per cent for child occupant protection, 67 per cent for pedestrian detection and 25 per cent for safety assist.
Like its now-defunct Suzuki Baleno sibling, the Ignis doesn’t offer autonomous emergency braking (AEB) across the range.
AEB will be mandated for all newly introduced models in Australia from March 2023 and all models on sale in Australia from March 2025.
All 2023 Suzuki Ignis models come standard with the following safety equipment:
- Front, front-side and curtain airbags
- Brake assist system (BAS)
- Hill-hold assist
- Reversing camera

| Suzuki Ignis | Fuel Type | Combined |
