A robot driving can get the numbers Suzuki quote. Robots have plenty of time to enter traffic, no hills, no traffic lights or intersections to stop at, no Škoda drivers pushing from close behind, don't need brakes or accelerator fluctuations or traffic jams! I think you are doing fine.

 

In the Czech Republic, Suzuki reports fuel consumption with a 2WD automatic transmission according to the WLTP method of 5.4 - 5.5 l/100 km.
Your consumption is a little higher and it depends on the driver and his driving style.
I have a 2WD manual transmission and drive around town every day. My long-term consumption is 4.44 litres/100 km. It's far less than Suzuki claims.

 

Manufacturers consumption data is based on ideal conditions and often bears little relevance to the real world. The figures are only useful when comparing one car to another. I understand that regular fuel in Australia is 91 RON (95 in the UK) and if the engine is set up for 91 RON, it will have a fuel consumption more than in the UK. (may not necessarily help if you use premium fuel). Use of aircon on a regular basis can hit consumption by 10 - 15%. On the face of it - your consumption is not too bad, particularly if you regularly use aircon, and should improve as you clock up KM's. Lastly the panel consumption meter can be way out so it's best to calculate average fuel consumption by a brim to brim calculation when you fill up.

 

Heyo, sorry to hear your Ignis is thirstier that advertised.
I’m in Sydney.
I’ve just purchased a 2023 GL manual Ignis , and have only had it 2 weeks. I’ve so far driven almost 1,000k, including 12 hours country driving and the rest in the suburbs in sometimes peak hours. I’ve used 48 L of petrol ULP 91. So… that’s 4.8 L per 100k which is around what the manufacturers claim.
All I can think is that compared to the automatic, the manual gearshift reduces fuel usage .
Plus I'm (ahem) “ mature” and although this beaut little beast is willing to try to get from 0 to 100 in microseconds, I resist the temptation, which I’m told means I’m revving less and thus saving fuel. You don’t have such choice with an auto.
My gripe is with the hill start assist ( is there any??), which is pretty useful in a manual car but for the life of me I can’t reliably capture. Handbrake starts at every upwardly sloping red light seems to be the norm, unfortunately.
Plus the takeup point of the clutch in first and second gear seems to change for every trip! It’s almost as if my manual gearbox hankers to be a CVT!

 

In the UK with a 2023 one too. I know I still rev it more than necessary when pulling away (esp uphill) but need to get used to the bite point which seems to be taking longer than other cars I’ve had.
Re the hill start assist, mine definitely has it but it doesn’t seem to stay on for as long as my previous car. If sitting at traffic lights uphill for a while on the handbrake I’ll dab the brakes when I know we’re about to set off and it seems to activate it again. If I didn’t do that it wouldn’t kick in. Maybe that’s an issue specific to my car.
Apologies to the OP as this post isn’t about fuel consumption.

Wonderful, thankyou for the brake touch tip. I’d never have thought of it! I’ll give it a go.
This sort of reminds me of the years i spent frustratedly filling up my ute, and having the petrol pump repeatedly unnecessarily click off midstream.Then a kind gent at the next bowser gave me a smile and said… juggle the nozzle.. there’ll be a goldilocks position somewhere! I’d spent literally years wasting people’s time , and such a simple solution!!

 

Is this the hybrid version?
If so you've a lead foot or there's something seriously wrong

 

It would be wonderful if f we could buy the hybrid option of the Suzuki Ignis here in 2023 in Sydney, but alas we cannot. Figure that one out in an age of environmental awareness! The best fuel consumption I can get is when I *Drive long distances with no stop- start *on well-paved highways *using 5th gear when possible *and sticking to 100km per hour speed *WITH NO AIR CON on, just front windows down or air vents open and blower on. ( thank you for the tip)! I estimate I got 3.2L per 100km fuel usage yesterday, doing that!

 

Just my opinion, you're better off without it - browse this & other forums and you'll find that hybrid technology, especially mild hybrid technology is hugely misunderstood and a lot of people have been disappointed when it fails to live up to their expectation.

 

Manual awd 2018, wife averages at 4.8l/100km, going as low as 4.5l/100km. I average at 5l/100km
