Citroen C1 vs Suzuki Ignis

Two small cars, compared on the same official records: MOT and inspection results, safety ratings, fuel use, recalls and owner complaints. 4 like-for-like measures: the Citroen C1 leads on 1, the Suzuki Ignis on 2, 1 too close to call.

Where each one leads

Citroen C1

  • New Citroen C1 cars registered in Europe in 2022 average 109 g/km of CO₂ on the WLTP test, against 117 for the Suzuki Ignis in 2022.

  • Measured by the cars' own fuel meters, the petrol Suzuki Ignis uses 5.1 l/100 km on the road, the Citroen C1 5.3.
