Suzuki Ignis eyes Urban Car title

Suzuki’s Ignis has made it to the final three cars in the new Urban Car category of the 2017 World Car of The Year.

To qualify for the initial judging process, vehicles had to be less than 4m long, suitable in design for everyday use in an urban environment, and on sale across two continents by the deadline of Spring 2017. At 3.70m in length, the IGNIS Mini Crossover qualified and was shortlisted earlier this year.

World Car of The Year (UK vice-chairman) Mike Rutherford said: “Suzuki has seen off many rival manufacturers from all corners of the globe to become a 2017 World Car finalist.
