铃木近日在巴黎车展发布了新款Ignis小型跨界车，该车在外观设计上受到包括第一代 Cervo和维特拉以及上一代雨燕的影响。Ignis虽然是一款小型车，但其离地间隙提升至180毫米，因此可以应对复杂路面，而驾驶员座椅位置的提升则有助于扩大视野。该车实用性也不错，行李箱容积达到267立升，而ALLGRIP 四驱版本则降至227立升。可以滑动的后排座椅可获得更为灵活的储物空间，而完全可以放平的后排座椅则使储物区面积更大。而ALLGRIP四驱版本配备铃木的粘性耦合器四驱系统，在系统检测到车轮失去抓地力时可将扭矩传递至其他车轮。该车标配五速手动变速器，但可选装手自一体变速器。该车动力系统包括一台1.2升汽油引擎和弱混动系统，后者包括集成起动机和电力发电机以及锂电池组和一台电机。输出功率66千瓦/88马力，扭矩120牛米。四驱混动版百公里加速时间11.5秒，最高时速165公里。而两驱版本百公里加速时间12.2秒，最高时速170公里。铃木计划从明年一月起在欧洲销售这款车，随后将进入其他市场。

Suzuki Ignis is an adorable little crossover in Paris

The second-generation Audi Q5 may very well be the most important crossover launch at the ongoing Paris Motor Show, but let’s not neglect this little fella. With a design inspired by models such as the first-gen Cervo and Vitara with a hint of previous-gen Swift, the new Ignis manages to stand out from the current crop of high-riding vehicles in its class, and it’s doing it with a quirky yet appealing design.

With a ground clearance of 180 mm (7 inches), the new Ignis should be able to tackle some of the more difficult roads, while the raised driving position is going to provide great visibility of what’s up ahead. Practicality is also pretty decent as well, with the trunk capable of swallowing up to 267 liters of cargo, or 227 liters for the ALLGRIP version. A neat feature is represented by the possibility of sliding the rear seats to enable a flexible loading area. Folding down the rear bench will further extend the available cargo space.

Since we’ve mentioned the term “ALLGRIP,” it refers to Suzuki’s viscous coupling four-wheel drive system capable of channeling the torque to the front and rear axle whenever it detects a loss in grip. Power is channeled to the road via either a standard five-speed manual gearbox, or an automated manual transmission based on the same five-speed manual.

Underneath the hood resides a 1.2-liter gasoline engine that can be had with a mild hybrid system featuring an integrated starter generation bundling a power generator, a lithium-ion battery pack, and the electric motor. Output stands at 66 kilowatts (88 horsepower) and 88 pound-feet (120 Newton-meters of torque), enough to allow the 4WD-enabled hybrid version run to 62 mph (100 kph) in 11.5 seconds and top out at 165 kph. That’s the fastest-accelerating version of the bunch, while the slowest is the non-hybrid 2WD model, which needs 12.2 seconds for the same task. As for top speed, the 2WD models will do 170 kph (105 mph) whereas the grippy 4WD ones will only reach 165 kph (102 mph).

Suzuki has plans to put the Ignis on sale across Europe from January 2017, with other markets to follow.
