Second Generation:

A significantly redesigned Ignis was launched globally starting in 2016 (second generation, with codes like MF, MH), adopting a more retro-SUV-like styling and a focus on hybrid technology in some markets. The RG413/RM413 models are typically from the earlier generations.

Production Locations:

Primarily Japan, with production or assembly also occurring in other Suzuki plants globally, depending on the specific generation and market.

Production Years Associated:

RG413/RM413 models are typically associated with the early 2000s to mid-2000s production runs of the first-generation Ignis.
