Maruti Suzuki Ignis: RDE-compliant petrol engine, new prices

Mechanically, there is no change to the Ignis, and that means it continues to be powered by the 83hp, 1.2-litre petrol engine that’s paired to either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT gearbox. However, Maruti has updated this engine to meet the upcoming RDE regulations. The brand also claims that the Ignis’ petrol powertrain offers a fuel efficiency of 20.89kpl.

All variants of the Ignis have received a uniform hike of Rs 27,000. Overall, the Ignis manual now costs between Rs 5.82 lakh-7.59 lakh, while the automatic's price ranges between Rs 6.91-8.14 lakh. Here is the variant-wise price break-up of the Ignis:
