Blog 966 Maruti Suzuki Ignis
The car was first showcased as the Suzuki iM-4 concept at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. When launched in India, the Maruti Suzuki Ignis will rival cars like the Mahindra S101, Tata Nexon, and Datsun GO-Cross.
Suzuki says the Ignis has "a compact, visually striking body... and a simple, highly practical interior design highlight its credentials in the compact crossover genre."
The Maruti Suzuki Ignis features certain attributes of an SUV, like good ground clearance and a high view point. In terms of design, the micro SUV gets a comparatively large single-slat grille with integrated projector head-lamps and chrome surround, and flared wheel-arches. The Ignis is 3679mm long, 1579mm high and 1478mm wide.
As for the powertrain, the Japanese version of the Ignis gets a 1.2-litre DualJet petrol engine with SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki) technology, and is paired to a CVT automatic gearbox. While a front-wheel drive layout is standard, all-wheel drive (Suzuki ALLGRIP) is optional, at least for the Japanese market. It remains to be seen whether India will also get these variants. However, it's almost a certainty that a diesel engine option, likely to be the familiar 1.3-liter DDiS mill, and manual transmission (for both petrol and diesel) will be available in the country.
