Equipment few rivals have, on either carShowHide
Drivetrain
The Suzuki Ignis uses a Petrol producing 66kW and 120Nm of torque, sent through a cvt to a FWD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 12.8 seconds.
The Toyota Yaris Cross responds with a 1.5L 3-cyl Hybrid making 85kW and 120Nm, paired to a cvt driving the front wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 9.8 seconds.
The Toyota Yaris Cross has the clear power advantage at 85kW vs 66kW. In the 0-100 sprint (manufacturer-claimed), the Toyota Yaris Cross is 3.0s quicker. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The Suzuki Ignis measures 3,700mm long on a 2,435mm wheelbase, 480mm shorter than the Toyota Yaris Cross at 4,180mm (2,560mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Toyota Yaris Cross generally means more rear legroom.
Boot space is 271L in the Suzuki Ignis and 390L in the Toyota Yaris Cross, giving the Toyota Yaris Cross a 119L advantage.
Neither U-turns in one sweep on a 7 m local street (both need a three-point turn); the Suzuki Ignis's turning circle is 1.2 m tighter, 9.4 m against 10.6 m kerb to kerb. The street estimate is indicative, worked from the published turning circles.
Cost to own
At 15,000 km a year, fuel for the Suzuki Ignis costs about $1,397 a year (4.9 L/100km) and fuel for the Toyota Yaris Cross about $1,083 a year (3.8 L/100km), at $1.90 a litre and 32c a kWh. That is $314 a year less for the Toyota Yaris Cross.
Warranty: 5 years / Unlimited (Suzuki Ignis) and 5 years / Unlimited (Toyota Yaris Cross). Capped-price servicing: 5 years (Suzuki Ignis), no data (Toyota Yaris Cross).
Where each one leads
The Suzuki Ignis: nothing in the figures we hold puts it ahead of the Toyota Yaris Cross.
The Toyota Yaris Cross: more power (85kW against 66kW), the bigger boot with the seats up (390L against 271L) and lower fuel or energy costs on our assumptions ($1,083 a year against $1,397).
The Verdict
Level: here's what splits them
The Suzuki Ignis (70) and Toyota Yaris Cross (77) are too close to call on the figures we hold. What splits them: performance (Toyota Yaris Cross ahead by 13 points), fuel economy (Toyota Yaris Cross ahead by 8 points), value (Toyota Yaris Cross ahead by 4 points). At 15,000 km a year, fuel for the Toyota Yaris Cross costs about $314 less (3.8 L/100km against 4.9 L/100km, at $1.90 a litre). Boot space with the seats up: 271L in the Suzuki Ignis, 390L in the Toyota Yaris Cross.

How to read this page. Prices, specifications, ANCAP ratings, warranty, the CarSorted Score and the verdict come from our records for the grades shown, sourced from the manufacturers' Australian documents, and change when those records change; the date each was last checked is printed under the headline. Prices are recommended retail prices before on-road costs unless marked drive-away. A plug-in hybrid's fuel figure is labelled with its basis: with a full battery (the certified combined figure) or as a hybrid (battery depleted). Charging and running costs are estimates on the stated assumptions. Always confirm price and specification with the manufacturer or dealer before you buy. CarSorted does not accept payment for recommendations.
