Maruti Ignis: Maruti Ignis is a small hatchback, which is not bound by the conventions of the design. Aimed at urban youth and fashion forward consumers, it injects some racy, slightly off-beat character into a segment that can be overly practical and sometimes, mundane. With a tall-boy stance, full of squared-off edges and a high shoulder line, the Ignis stands out on the road. While most small cars disappear into traffic the Ignis demands attention with its quirky body shape and distinctive styling details. It serves up a sweet mix of character, compact size and regular usability —perfect for urban India. It is all the while packed into a little body which doesn’t end up compromising road presence and appealing young drivers and older people who want to upgrade from a regular hatchback.
Urban Styling That Turns Heads
The design of the Ignis is something that is not only fresh in the way it looks, but also in comparison to Maruti in general. The front grille is accented with U-shaped iniks with chrome accents on either end, complemented by projector headlamps and integrated LED DRLs to give it a premium stance. Its upright stance, pronounced wheel arches and sculpted bonnet endow it with a mini SUV feel, while blacked-out pillars open up the sides and roof rails (on certain trims) add a sporty flavour. At the back, the squared-off tailgate and distinctive tail lamp design retain its quirky character. Dual-tone shades and alloy wheels enhance its looks, more so in the upper variants. And while it was designed for inner city maneuverability, you’ll see the style of a tough guy minus the attitude. It is easily a car meant to stand out, whether it is in a mall parking lot or zipping through traffic.
Design Interior optimally Packed for Daily Use
The Maruti Ignis hasn’t moved away from its fun and youthful theme on the inside either with millennial inspired dashboard layout, contrast coloured accents, and utility. The dashboard layout is simple, yet smart and the floating infotainment touchscreen is easy to reach and use for media and sat-nav. Controls are ergonomic and straightforward, with toggle switches for the A/C and various other controls that give a bit of flair. Even with its small size, the Ignis offers plenty of headroom and reasonable legroom for four adults. The high roofline gives an airy feel, especially to those in the rear. Boot storage is enough for regular grocery shopping trips or short weekends away, and the rear seats can be folded to make space for larger items. There are plenty of small practical places and cup holders for those living life in town.
Peppy Performance and Nimble Handling
The Maruti Ignis is powered by the proven 1.2-litre K-Series petrol engine, which is known for its performance and frugality. With enough horsepower for its size, the Ignis zips along gamely, particularly in traffic-choked cityscapes where rapid overtakes and light steering give it a playful air. Its light weight HEARTECT platform gives it excellent sling shot agility, and a high ground clearance to tackle bad roads or speed breakers without a hiccup. Doesn’t matter if you choose the 5-speed manual or the AMT (Auto Gear Shift) transmission, the Ignis has a peppy attitude. It has a tight turning radius for easy parking and cramped urban environments. The suspension tuning is for comfort, so it swallows nearly all road imperfections without providing a ride that feels overly firm or bouncy.
Confidence-Inspiring Safety and Build
As far as safety is concerned, the Ignis is packed with basic safety features that ensure the protection of the users, as well offer confidence when driving. Standard safety features include dual airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, seatbelt reminders and ISOFIX child seat mounts. The firm foundation of the HEARTECT body enhances strength and rigidity, facilitating precise tuning of the suspension and body to smooth roads for better ride comfort and superior stability during high-speed cruising. Despite being small, the car doesn’t feel like it’s going to skid across the road, and the high seating position is helpful for seeing out. Higher on the scale you might also get rear view cameras and daytime running lights for more visibility and ease of use. Prioritising actual safety over tech-heavy gimmickry, the Ignis is exploring new territory in terms of tech to help deliver peace of mind whether for daily grinding or the odd road trip.

Features That Enhance Everyday Driving

SmartPlay Studio infotainment system comes with Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity along with voice recognition. Steering-mounted controls enable drivers to handle calls and music without having to take their hands off the wheel. Features such as automatic climate control, push-button start, electronic ORVM, and a height-adjustable driver seat make it more comfortable and driver-centric. All model variants offered will come standard with an extensive list of features ensuring all the main comforts for modern urban driving are standard even on entry-level models. But, with features like these and Maruti’s easy to understand design philosophy, living with the Ignis is something that many wouldn’t mind, more so for the younger crowd looking for their first set of wheels.
