Maruti Suzuki Ignis Overview
The Ignis’ design drew from its global-spec model roots but got raised ground clearance, black body cladding, and a tall-boy profile. The exterior stood out with a 'U' motif front grille, skid plates, 15-inch alloy wheels, and LED projector headlamps.
Inside, the feature highlights included automatic climate control and a SmartPlay Studio touchscreen infotainment system equipped with navigation and steering-mounted controls.
Power came from a 1.2-litre four-cylinder petrol engine. Mated to a front-wheel-drive (2WD) setup, buyers could choose between a 5-speed manual or an automated manual transmission (AMT), both of which delivered a fuel economy of 20.89 kmpl.
On the safety side, the suite fell under the NEXA Safety Shield. It got dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, and seatbelt reminders, supplemented by rear parking sensors and a security alarm.
The Ignis was aimed at buyers who wanted a distinctive-looking, nimble hatchback with low running costs and the basic comfort features expected in its segment. Maruti Suzuki has since discontinued the model.

The Ignis has two close rivals in its segment, namely the Tata Punch and Hyundai Exter.
The Punch stands out with a higher ground clearance (187-193 mm unladen) compared to the Ignis’ 180 mm. It also offers a more pronounced SUV stance, larger overall dimensions, and a stronger emphasis on structural safety. In contrast, the Ignis benefits from a lighter kerb weight, contributing to its handling and superior claimed fuel efficiency of 20.89 kmpl.
The Exter provides a larger boot space of 391 litres versus the Ignis’ more modest 260 litres. It also includes an additional factory-fitted CNG powertrain option. The Ignis counters these with its distinctive boxy, compact footprint, and lighter overall kerb weight, holding an advantage in everyday manoeuvrability and ease of parking in congested urban environments.
