Considering some reports, the India-bound variant of Maruti Suzuki Ignis will be launched with a 1.2-litre VTVT petrol engine and a multijet diesel engine. Both the engines will be mated to a 5-Speed manual transmission. Whereas, Maruti Suzuki’s AGS (Auto Gear Shift) gearbox could be introduced later for the petrol variant.
Inside, the car features a decent look and ample space. The new Ignis comes equipped with Harman’s Infotainment system along with the integrated navigation and connectivity features. This infotainment system also supports the Apple CarPlay and the voice recognition functionality.
There will be no change in the aesthetics of the Indian spec Ignis, it will be the same as the global model. When launched, it will go on sale through the company’s premium dealership, Nexa and will compete with the car in the segment like Mahindra KUV 100 and Ford EcoSport.
