2017 Suzuki Ignis vs Volkswagen Up! - Budget car showdown

Derivatives of the Volkswagen Up! and Suzuki Ignis models are finalists in the budget car category of the 2017/18 #CarsAwards, which sets up a fascinating head-to-head between the pugnacious city cars. In this video, regular contributor and #CarsAwards judge Francisco Nwamba compares the 1.0 Take Up! with the 1.2 GLX derivative of its Japanese rival. Both cars offer loads of appeal to the young and young at heart, whereas the (now exclusively 5-door for the South African market) Up! trades on its compactness, inherent solidity and classless appeal, the Ignis is funky, bigger than it looks and well specced. There are a number of similarities in terms of the Volkswagen and Suzuki's packaging, but how do they compare in key areas when compared back to back? It's time to find out. 0:00 Intro 0:24 Pricing 1:01 Ride quality, engines, fuel & handling 2:40 Warranties & service plans 2:57 Boot capacities 3:20 Rear seats & legroom 3:49 Interiors & tech features 4:23 Exterior design 4:41 Conclusion 5:08 Final verdict 5:16 Outro Match the contenders up using Cars.co.za's comparison tool: https://www.cars.co.za/compare-cars/V...
