The Ignis is a Maruti Suzuki hatchback like no other. Funky and fresh, the Ignis is also a model that’s polarising in look. Formerly also available with a diesel engine, the Ignis is now sold in petrol-manual and petrol-AMT forms. It holds the distinction of being the most affordable car to be sold from Maruti Suzuki’s premium Nexa network.

While the Ignis’ exterior design is a love-it-or-hate it affair, its cabin will attract a more uniform positive opinion. There’s a good deal of space on offer for what is essentially a small car. Even the design and execution of the dashboard is a break from the norm.
The Maruti Suzuki Ignis petrol’s 83hp, 1.2-litre engine is a delight, delivering peppy responses and good efficiency. You’d be best served by the 5-speed manual transmission, since the AMT petrol-automatic dials back the fun and is more suited to a relaxed driving style. Ride quality is fine and you won’t have any trouble placing the Ignis, even in tight confines.
