I have been waiting for my delivery for 8 weeks, promised 4 to 6 weeks. Now changed to 14 weeks. Customer response is extremely poor. Please consider these negatives.

I have a Honda City ZX MT, Jimny Zeta MT, and Ignis Alpha AMT. We are planning to get a new Seltos diesel automatic for convenience and mileage. Which of these should I replace, considering that I love the City for its VTEC? Also, is this a wise decision in terms of rear-seat comfort, driving feel, and fuel economy?

Of your cars, you should replace the Maruti Ignis with a Kia Seltos diesel automatic. This gives you the convenience and better fuel efficiency you are looking for, while allowing you to keep the City for its VTEC driving experience and the Jimny for rough roads or compact lanes. The Kia Seltos diesel auto is smooth and relaxed in traffic thanks to its smooth torque converter, and on highways, it cruises at low engine speed, so it feels calm and will likely use less fuel than your Honda City or Maruti Jimny. The back seat is wide enough for family use, the seat height is good for elders, and the boot is much larger than the Ignis, so it works well as the main family car.One thing to keep in mind is that you will miss the Ignis’s tiny size, and though the Jimny is a compact car, it isn't quite as light and manoeuvrable as the hatchback. Overall, the Seltos feels like a more upmarket and high-tech alternative to your existing cars, and should be a good upgrade that works in a variety of situations.

I am looking for a small car for entirely city driving. I am unable to decide between Ignis vs a small electric car like the Comet or the upcoming VF3. My annual mileage is around 6000 km. Driving comfort is my only priority.

Go for the MG Comet. For pure city use and comfort, it is the smoothest and easiest small car in your shortlist right now. In stop-and-go traffic, the Comet feels calm because it is an electric automatic, so there are no gear shifts or vibrations, just a gentle push when you press the pedal. The steering is very light, the turning circle is tiny, and parking is stress-free. It is quiet inside, and charges at home overnight from a normal plug, which suits your low yearly use.The Maruti Suzuki Ignis automatic uses an AMT, which is an automatic that still shifts gears on its own. In slow traffic, it can give a slight jerk when starting and stopping, so it won’t feel as smooth as the Comet. It is easier for rear passengers, though, since it has four doors. However, most dealers do not have stocks as Maruti Suzuki has been winding up production of the car.As for the VinFast VF3, if you can wait, it could be a good alternative to the Comet as it has much larger wheels, which should help the ride quality over bad city roads.

Hi team, Has the Maruti Suzuki Ignis been discontinued in India, or is it still on sale?

Autocar India

No, the Maruti Suzuki Ignis has not been discontinued, and Maruti Suzuki continues to sell it through its Nexa dealerships.However, Maruti Suzuki hasn’t really invested in upgrading the Ignis over the years, either in terms of major features or powertrain updates, and that shows in the numbers. Its monthly sales have slipped to below 2,000 units, which is quite a drop compared to its earlier performance and to newer, more contemporary rivals.This slowdown, along with the lack of meaningful updates, naturally fuels speculation that the Ignis doesn’t have a long-term future in Maruti’s lineup and could eventually be phased out. But as things stand today, it remains very much on sale, so if you like what it offers and it fits your needs, availability is not an issue right now.

I am looking for a compact car under ₹6 lakh. I am open to buying either a new car or a second-hand one, but my main condition is that the car should not have very low or very high seating, as there is a knee problem in the family. Please suggest which car would be a good option to buy within this budget.

For your needs, either the Tata Punch or the Maruti Suzuki Ignis would be a good option. The Tata Punch sits at a comfortable height, and its doors open up to almost 90 degrees, which makes ingress and egress easier. The seating position is also not too tall, so it should feel comfortable even for someone with knee issues.If you want something that feels more spacious, especially in the rear seat, then the Ignis ticks all the boxes as well. Its 1.2-litre four-cylinder engine is smoother, more responsive and nicer to drive too.To buy these cars brand new, even the base variants will be slightly above ₹6 lakh on-road. If you are okay with stretching the budget a little, you can go ahead with a new car. Also, you can consider used versions of higher variants within your budget.

My wife has recently started learning to drive and is looking to buy her first car, which she will primarily use for daily office commuting (around 40-50 km per day). She prefers a petrol automatic car with a relatively high driver seating position. Since this will be her first car, I am inclined towards a Maruti Suzuki model, unless a Hyundai option makes a very strong case. We are currently considering the Maruti Suzuki Alto K10, Maruti Suzuki Celerio, and Maruti Suzuki Ignis (we are not considering the WagonR). Among these, the Celerio and Ignis seem like better options, but we are slightly concerned about the possibility of them being discontinued in the near future. We would also consider the Maruti Suzuki Swift, but we are a bit apprehensive because it is a slightly larger car for a beginner driver. Our budget is ₹6-9 lakh on-road. Which of these cars would be the best choice for her needs?

The Maruti Suzuki Ignis is the best option for your wife. Its compact dimensions make it easy to manoeuvre, and the relatively high seating position gives a good view of the road, aiding confidence behind the wheel. A peppy engine and the convenience of AMT also help its case. The Ignis is a bit firm in its ride comfort, though. Maruti Suzuki has not announced plans to discontinue the Ignis, though the model has been around for a while. Even in the case of the model being discontinued, you will not have trouble with service support and parts availability for years to come.
