Maruti Suzuki Ignis: Prices Start At ₹ 4.59 Lakh

Having waited for the new Maruti Suzuki Ignis for over a year now, the Indian auto giant has finally launched the new model in India with an introductory price tag of ₹ 4.59 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Maruti Suzuki has kickstarted its year with a bang, having given a highly competitive price tag to the new model that will take on some well-established products in the market. The Ignis will also be the third product to go on sale from the Nexa chain of showrooms and will be the most affordable model there.

A successor to the Maruti Wagon R of sorts, the Maruti Suzuki Ignis is targeted at millennial buyers as per the company and has already garnered 6000 bookings since they were first announced exclusively online. The new model shares its underpinnings with the Baleno and will be produced at Maruti's Gurugram facility, commanding a waiting period of 7-8 weeks.

The new Maruti Suzuki Ignis is the second product to be built on the Baleno platform and has an extremely unconventional design. While we have discussed the design in detail, the flat body styling gives it the aggressive and masculine appearance, while the accentuated wheel arches, short overhangs squared headlamps and a sharp C-pillar lend a butch appeal to the micro



SUV.

What really sets the benchmark is the cabin of the Maruti Ignis. We told you about the all-new interior recently, which gets new materials and components. A dual-tone clutter-free dashboard takes prominence with a new four-spoke multifunction steering wheel, floating style touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility; Bluetooth, AUX and USB connectivity; climate control, ambient lighting for the instrument cluster with MID unit and toggle switches on the centre console. The tall boy design liberates ample legroom while the boot capacity is a decent 260-litres. The Ignis is offered in a total of nine variants and we've told you all about them too. The Maruti Suzuki Ignis is available in six colours namely Uptown Red, Pearl Arctic White, Silky Silver, Tinsel Blue, Urban Blue and Glistening Grey. The colours vary according to the variants you choose. There are dual-tone options available on Alpha and Zeta variants only which include Uptown Red with Midnight Black, Tinsel Blue with Midnight black and Tinel Blue with Pearl Arctic White.

Power is available in both petrol and diesel units. The 1.2 litre K-Series motor powers the petrol trims churning out 82 bhp at 6000 rpm and 113 Nm of torque at 4200 rpm. Diesel trims, on the other hand, get the 1.3 litre DDiS motor tuned to produce 74 bhp at 4000 rpm and max torque of 190 Nm at 2000 rpm. Both mills come paired to a 5-speed manual transmission. Interestingly, the car will also get AMT units with both engines as well. 

On the efficiency front, the Maruti Suzuki Ignis returns an ARAI certified 20.89 kmpl on petrol and 26.80 kmpl on diesel, which is one of the best in the segment. The car boasts of most safety essentials including dual front airbags, ABS with EBD and ISOFIX mount points as standard across variants. The higher variants also get parking sensors with reverse camera, seatbelts with pre-tensioners, projector headlamps and much more.

Targeted at the millennials, the Maruti Suzuki Ignis is a young product for the new generation of car buyers. The automaker is making sure to promote to the right audience and the car even gets its own emoji in the process. The model is a compelling upgrade for the Alto and Wagon R owners, while it has lots to offer to first-time car buyers as well. The Ignis has already started arriving at Nexa outlets, while bookings commenced this month exclusively online. Deliveries, on the other hand, are set to commence in a few days. Meanwhile, watch out for our comprehensive review of the Ignis coming soon.
