Suzuki Ignis Extended Car Warranty
What Happens After the Suzuki Ignis’s Factory Warranty Ends
The Suzuki Ignis is a small crossover-styled hatchback that launched in South Africa in 2017 and was facelifted in 2020. Many Ignises are now several years old.
This page sets out the factory cover, the 2017 and 2020 versions, what is and isn’t documented about problems, and how an extended motor warranty fits in.
Suzuki Ignis Factory Warranty and Service Plan — What You Started With
- Vehicle warranty: 5 years / 200,000 km (promotional), with roadside assistance
- Service plan: 2 years / 30,000 km (as stated at the 2020 facelift)
The service plan ends long before the warranty, so owners pay for servicing from year three. Confirm the terms on your car with a Suzuki dealer.
Suzuki Ignis: 2017 vs 2020 Facelift

|---|---|

| Transmission | 5-speed manual or 5-speed automated manual (AMT) |
| Trims (2020) | GL, GLX; GLX AMT |

Prices are from the 2020 facelift. We found no source confirming current availability or any later update, so confirm with a Suzuki dealer. A facelift doesn’t change the terms on an Ignis you already own.
Known Suzuki Ignis Problems to Date
We found no South African buyer’s guide with a documented fault list for the Ignis, and no recall, so we don’t publish an invented one. We quote no repair costs.
1.2 petrol and AMT
The K12M is a simple naturally aspirated engine, and the AMT is a manual gearbox with an automated clutch. We found no published fault record for either on South African cars, so we make no claim about them.
Hard use
Small crossover hatches are often used for commuting and e-hailing, which wears the clutch or AMT, brakes and suspension sooner. Check a used car’s service history.

Why Suzuki Ignis Owners Choose an Extended Warranty
Many Ignises are now past their service plan and approaching the end of their 5-year warranty. An extended motor warranty keeps repair costs predictable once that cover ends. It is subject to its own terms and exclusions — ask Cheryl what applies to your Ignis.
