The Ignis has been the entry-level Maruti offering from the Nexa chain of dealerships. First launched here in 2017 with a mild update in 2019, the facelifted Ignis has made its India debut at the Auto Expo 2020.

It is powered by the same 1.2-litre BS6 petrol engine that is tuned to an output of 83PS and 113Nm while mated to a 5-speed manual with the option of a 5-speed AMT as well. The facelifted Ignis gets a revised front fascia with a S-Presso-like front grille and a new bumper. It doesn’t get any noticeable changes to the side and rear profile. The new yellow colour spied earlier seems to have been given a miss for the Indian market but it does get new Turquoise Blue and Lucent Orange colour options.

It continues to be equipped with LED projector headlamps and DRLs, puddle lamps and alloy wheels. The interior comfort list includes the latest version of the SmartPlay studio with its 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, auto AC, day-night IRVM, rear parking camera and 60:40 split rear seat. It also gets two new cosmetic customisation options called Acropolis and Scorcher.

The new Ignis will be launched in the coming weeks, expect a small premium in prices for the top-end variants. Bookings for the 2020 Ignis are now open at Nexa showrooms across the country. It continues to compete against the likes of the Maruti Suzuki WagonR, Tata Tiago, Datsun GO and Hyundai Santro.
