The {{Nihongo|Suzuki Ignis|スズキ・イグニス|Suzuki Igunisu|lead=yes}} is an automobile nameplate that was first produced by Suzuki in 2000 as a subcompact car, replacing the Suzuki Cultus, and subsequently as a crossover-styled city car from 2016.
The Cultus retailed under various names globally, notably as the Suzuki Swift. While the Cultus-based Swift was replaced by the Ignis in Europe and Australasia, Japanese models were in fact badged Suzuki Swift—thus debuting the "Swift" name in that market. The word "ignis" is Latin for "fire".
As a result of a venture project between General Motors (GM) and Suzuki, the Ignis, from 2001 also formed the basis of the Chevrolet Cruze. The Cruze sold throughout Japan as a Chevrolet, with Australasian-market versions badged Holden Cruze. From 2003, Suzuki of Europe adopted a lengthened version of the Cruze as the Suzuki Ignis—representing a facelift of the original Ignis. In the same year, Subaru adopted the car as the Subaru G3X Justy, also exclusive to Europe.

The first series of the Ignis (codenamed HT51S and HT81S) was manufactured as a three- and five-door hatchback, powered by a new generation of Suzuki inline-four petrol engines, the M family. This family featured DOHC, four valves per cylinder and variable valve timing. Engines were offered in two displacements: 1.3 litres (M13A) and 1.5 litres (M15A), with power outputs of {{convert|65|kW|PS hp|abbr=on}} (JIS) and {{convert|81|kW|PS hp|abbr=on}} (JIS), respectively. Suzuki assigned the HT51S model code to the 1.3-liter model, with the 1.5-liter versions allocated the HT81S code.{{cite web |url=http://www.goo-net.com/catalog/SUZUKI/SWIFT/ |title=スズキ スイフト(SWIFT) カタログ グレード一覧 |trans-title=Suzuki Swift grade catalogue |language=ja |work=Goo-net |publisher=Proto Corporation |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110623023407/http://www.goo-net.com/catalog/SUZUKI/SWIFT/ |archive-date=23 June 2011 |url-status=dead }} With exception of the Ignis Sport, Suzuki did not offer the three-door model in Japan. Likewise, the 1.5-liter engine was unavailable outside of the Ignis Sport range in export markets, with the 1.3-litre version offered being detuned to {{convert|61|kW|PS hp|0|abbr=on}}. The standard transmission was a five-speed manual, with a four-speed automatic transmission optional. Both the front- and all-wheel drive layouts were tendered, although the combination of four-wheel drive and automatic transmission combination was limited to Japan as it was incompatible with European emission standards. A minor facelift came in 2003, featuring new wheel trims, a revised grille insert and clear headlamp-mounted turn signal lenses, as opposed to the amber versions fitted to the original. Production ended in 2006.

== Sport ==
Following its use in the 2002 World Rally Championship season, Suzuki introduced the Ignis Sport in 2003, a performance-oriented version based on the three-door body style. Badged the "Swift Sport" in Japan, the performance model utilised the same 1.5-litre engine as the regular car, but with power increased to {{convert|85|kW|PS hp|abbr=on}}. The engine was slightly detuned for the European market, to {{convert|80|kW|PS hp|0|abbr=on}}. The car featured a number of modifications, including a body kit, lowered and firmer suspension, close ratio gear box and tuned exhaust. The Sport has the roof bars removed which were standard on the normal Ignis. Recaro sport seats are included in the cabin, white instrument dials with blue illumination and carbon effect panels to increase its sporty appeal. The Ignis Sport can accelerate from {{convert|0|-|100|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} in 8.9 seconds and has a top speed of {{convert|185|km/h|mph|abbr=on}}. The Sport ceased production in 2005. It was only available in a limited selection of colours: red, blue, silver, black and yellow. Various optional extras were available including metallic pedals, driving lights in the bumper and front mesh grille.

The YGM1 design team were given just 12 weeks to conceive the concept, styled by Peter Hughes under the direction of Holden's then chief designer, Michael Simcoe.{{cite web |last=Newton |first=Bruce |date=11 October 2002 |url=http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor.nsf/RT/27CC7FA5A419FFE8CA256C400002A96C_The+Car?OpenDocument |title=Car review - Holden Cruze 5-dr wagon |work=GoAuto |publisher=John Mellor |access-date=20 May 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080917135531/http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor.nsf/RT/27CC7FA5A419FFE8CA256C400002A96C_The+Car?OpenDocument |archive-date=17 September 2008 }}{{cite web |date=19 October 1999 |url=http://autoweb.com.au/cms/A_51747/newsarticle.html |title=Design By Holden, Engineering By Suzuki, Badge By Chevrolet |work=AutoWeb |publisher=Web Publications |access-date=20 May 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120707015403/http://autoweb.com.au/cms/A_51747/newsarticle.html |archive-date=7 July 2012 }} The revamped interior was done under the direction of Jenny Morgan-Douralis, Holden's chief colour and trim designer at the time.{{cite web |last=Jennings |first=Bob |date=29 October 2001 |url=http://news.drive.com.au/drive/motor-news/cruze-into-the-future-20100823-13hxw.html |title=Cruze into the future |work=Drive |access-date=22 May 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120325180506/http://news.drive.com.au/drive/motor-news/cruze-into-the-future-20100823-13hxw.html |archive-date=25 March 2012 }} Along with the styling, Holden also executed most of the engineering work and were responsible for devising the "Cruze" nameplate.
GM revealed the production Cruze on 22 October 2001 with a 1 November sales commencement date in Japan. Significantly, the Cruze marked GM's return to Japanese manufacturing for the first time since 1939,{{cite web |date=22 October 2001 |url=https://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/2001-10-22-cruze.htm |title=GM returns to Japan manufacturing |work=USA Today |access-date=22 May 2009}} with production located at Suzuki's plant in Kosai, Shizuoka.{{cite web |last=McMillan |first=Alex |date=23 October 2001 |url=http://edition.cnn.com/2001/BUSINESS/asia/10/23/japan.cruze/ |title=GM ready to Cruze in Japan |publisher=CNN |access-date=22 May 2009}} In terms of design, the production version differs slightly from the YGM1: the flared fenders were toned down, and in lieu of the concept's 17-inch alloy wheels, 15-inch wheels were fitted. High-mounted wrap-around tail lights are featured at the rear, with dual circular brake lights set into the bumper—as carried over from the concept.
Powertrains are identical to those fitted to the Suzuki, with 1.3- and 1.5-litre inline-four engines offered and coupled to either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission.{{cite web |url=http://www.suzuki-w.co.jp/history2/cruze/crzHR51S_spec.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20041205160849/http://www.suzuki-w.co.jp/history2/cruze/crzHR51S_spec.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=2004-12-05 |title=Specification: Chevrolet Cruze (HR51S) E and X |language=ja |publisher=Suzuki}}{{cite web |url=http://www.suzuki-w.co.jp/history2/cruze/crzHR81S_spec.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20041205162150/http://www.suzuki-w.co.jp/history2/cruze/crzHR81S_spec.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=2004-12-05 |title=Specification: Chevrolet Cruze (HR81S) LS and LT |language=ja |publisher=Suzuki}} The M13A-equipped models were given the model code HR51S, with the M15A versions designated HR81S. The 1.3-litre was rated at {{convert|65|kW|PS hp|abbr=on}} and {{convert|118|Nm||abbr=on}},{{cite web |url=http://autoc-one.jp/chevrolet/cruze/2929/engine/ | script-title=ja:シボレー クルーズ (2006年5月~) |language=ja |publisher=Autoc one |access-date=19 November 2009}} while the 1.5-litre delivered {{convert|73|kW|PS hp|abbr=on}} and {{convert|143|Nm||abbr=on}}. Both front- (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) layouts were offered, the all-wheel system being an electronically-controlled setup. This system utilises an electromagnetic controlling device that receives signals from the anti-lock braking system. Both the 1.3 and 1.5 models could be specified with either FWD or AWD.
To maximise sales penetration, Japanese-market Cruzes were sold at both GM AutoWorld and Suzuki Arena sales channels. AutoWorld dealerships stocked the 1.5-litre car in LS and LT trims, with the 1.3 confined to Suzuki's Arena, available in E and X trims.{{cite web |last=Dhawan |first=Tutu |date=7 March 2002 |url=http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/biz/2002/03/07/stories/2002030700210200.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20021227073546/http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/biz/2002/03/07/stories/2002030700210200.htm |url-status=usurped |archive-date=December 27, 2002 |title=GM, Suzuki unveil Chevrolet Cruze |work=The Hindu |access-date=22 May 2009}} The vehicle was also in compliance with Japanese government dimension regulations to capitalize on the associated tax benefits to further encourage sales.
After a delay triggered by unfavourable exchange rates from Japan, Holden introduced the Cruze to the Australian market on 1 July 2002.{{cite journal |last=Butler |first=Glenn |date=June 2002 |url=http://www.carpoint.com.au/reviews/2002/small-4x4/holden/cruze/holden-cruze-3356 |title=Holden Cruze |journal=Wheels |location=Sydney, New South Wales}} New door trims were fitted and the rear window wiper was made standard from January 2004 production.Bebbington (2009), p. 303.
