Maruti Ignis | First Drive | Autocar India 

Most of the comments are harsh but i like its sporty compact design. Its powerful enough for its price and economy is also good. Its good for tight city roads i think.

In city 10.5 km/l and in highway it gives 16 easily with AC. Bought Zeta AMT this Jan 2019. Enjoying it both in city as well as highways. Am 6.1 ft tall and feeling much comfortable.

Should've been named Maruti Adidas

Recently I have purchased ignis ..And I love it... Enough space both front and at rare with big boot space for bags etc....Engine is very refined..Runs smoothly.... It's may look small in pics but atleast give it try... Don't run in bheed chal....

i will definitely go for Ford Figo which comes feature packed with 6 airbags and a great music system than any other car in this price range. And aslo a better service from Ford.

In july Ignis sold:4435 Figo sold:931 Then why its selling more then figo 😂😂😂😂

whoaaa.. too much hate in d comments... love this design.. looking forward to see one in flesh.

Is this a cocktail of Range Rover and the Marati Suzuki 800?

Take a minute to appreciate the whole autocar team Their reviews are so damn good keep it up !!!

So...Ignis is the replacement for the Ritz? I really liked the Ritz. Shame that it's discontinued.

is this EVER coming to America?(with at least twice the horsepower)

Everyone exceot Indians like this car design.. i like everything about it

The car has got a lot of personality, very European standards and retro styling. Very desirable from the youth 's view. It should sell well in the market.

Mini cooper founder name is Sir Alec issigonis. Is name ignis related to Issigonis? But the purpose he made mini is to create cheap small good gasoline cunsumption car. Same with my ignis. I use this ignis in indonesia petrol tipe since 2018 that use AGS matic transmition that actualy manual transmition with computer so has only two pedal. Very valueble money car with price same as the cheapest toyota or daihatsu car in indonesia we get the Nexa car branded from suzuki in india. Imported to indonesia. Very top in gasoline consumption in indonesia 17 km/ L in trafic jam, quiet car , good looking exterior and nice interior design, we get extrem Air conditioner panel, LCD monitor music player JVC. I like using AGS transmition we can use manual that can fast aceleration in city and use automatic mode in highway. In maintanance fee and oil is 1/ 3 daihatsu or toyota. Body plat ignis is so thick, more thick than the highest price Toyota car Fortuner SUV. Ground clearence is high so match with the majority bad road in my country. Before i use Daihatsu Sirion hathback low ground clearance that often body repair because road condition. Now i had driven 40.000 km since 2018

Front designed by Suzuki and the Rear designed by Maruti.. LOL :P

Front styling is good. Interiors are also good. But what happened to the Rear? It is big disappointment for Ignis.

We need an updated review please

Haryana registered car in TN . renuka u can try in ecr stretch to find little winding roads but not to an extend u could find like Kerala roads. u might test the car to fullest potential in such roads, to identify blind spots, power surge, swallowing pot hole, cornering, body roll balance etc etc...

I'm disappointed with Maruti's strategy of calling it a crossover but not giving it the features which would matter to it. It has no difference in terms of engines to Swift, Ritz and Baleno. I wish this had a VGT 90HP engine instead of this 75HP one with slightly more kerb weight. I was very excited about this car and it still looks good but would have to drop it from the list of my next.

The reason why car companies wont release beautiful designs like vw scirocco, opel astra new gen, honda civic hatch, in india is.. We are judgmental...dekhke boldete hai ki fail hai...

the c pillar can create blindspots during parallel parking.

I feel the only issue with Ignis is the top end Alpha doesn't come with Amt.

Feels a little like BMW Mini Cooper :p

it's very easy and convenient car to drive in the city and in highway.. its a mile muncher considering the good comfy seating and peppy performance with added auto gear shift .. i liked it a lot only after thorough full on testdrive of the petrol amt. its a nice package with easy handling nd fun character..styling will slowly becomes likable.. it is the only car which is very unique in styling..

Happy that you shot this video in ECR. Feels home.

Short review: Petrol variants r better, Maruti cars always feels very lazy before 2000rpm, Front looks cool, back end looks UGLY dumb "not retro", not a SINGLE person on this planet will like this back, no AMT in top models is stupidity, A very capable good car but pricing is bad, Interior is pretty nice though. It will sell only bcoz its Maruti, People should look for new Swift or save some money n get an i20 or Jazz.

Adidas logo ....strange.. :/

Pause and go that is mentioned in blue zeta version is not because of AMT gearbox but due to the diesel engine turbo lag

Nice Review as always by Autocar ! I drive celerio AMT which I bought when it was launched , but let me tell you , AMT doesn't fancy you at all , you will feel that you are driving a sluggish car , it only works perfectly when you are on soft pedal , the MOMENT you press pedal hard on any AMT , that's right any AMT car you will feel gearbox behaves abnormally as the smoothness in gear shifts is still a matter of R&D for MSIL . I take up with them but you know - when product is sold its all yours. Conclusion - GO FOR MANUAL ONLY .

Which car do you think the Suzuki Ignis is based on? It looks so retro and quirky, it has to be based on a some sort of classic car.

mag wheels look like shit

good,india needs compact car

Looks interesting!! Reminds me of Fiat UNO.

Always a pleasure to see your review Ms. Renuka :)

Thanks for this video. This April, will be launching here. Auto lovers very exiting and can't wait to review it by ourselves. Greeting from Indonesia.

They also killed the point of Nexa with this car! Maruti needs to evolve!

the rear lights looks exactly like terrano's but good

Suzuki designs it's car like a 5-Year old kid in a drawing class.

IGNIS HAS ODD REAR LOOK BUT GREAT GROUND CLEARANCE (180MM). IF THEY FIX STAPNEY ON THE REAR DOOR IT WILL GIVE A GREAT LOOK LIKE MINI SUV.

Just a sportier WagonR 😐😐 @7.5lac ... I got my i20 elite spotrz @7.9lac it's 100 times better

Maruti's done it once again!! Change the over body but use the same engine.. this one gets the same engine as swift, dezire, baleno, brezza (diesel).. it even sounds the same as swift in this video. No offense to Auto car but Maruti needs to do some good R&D for new cars. Upgrading body and cabin features won't do it in the evolving car market. I wonder when they'll get the 2 door 2L swift sport to India. Anyway, good luck..

Maruti Baleno vs. Maruti Ignis Plz

Amazing unbiased review as usual. Keep up the great work. Some feedbacks from my side post my visit to the nearby Nexa showroom to see the Ignis: 1) Quality isn't impressive. 2) I did sit in the Zeta variant and had my leg touching the steering wheels with the steering at its highest position. The Zeta variant doesnt have seat adjustments. 3) I am 6ft tall and my head was hitting the roof while getting into the rear seat. 4) Another shocking thing was the lever used to open the hood of the car which reminded me of the lever used in old Ambassador. 5) Costing cutting has been done on the seat cushioning too with the rear passenger knees hitting my back while being seated.

This is what you get when a Maruti engineer and a Mini Cooper engineer get high together.

I am glad to see Renuka Ma'am review this one.

good car good spec front looks good but the only concern is the back, what an ugly back ,this is the ugliest back in today's generation hatchback market

Is the higher spec comes with 6 dotted LED tail light like the Europe model? Does it come with sliding rear seat too?

5:34 yes, indeed...

Good to see ECR without traffic or bovine cutting your way. Why is it that whenever I drive through ECR to Pondicherry, I have to encounter hundreds of 2 wheelers on the right fast lane and cattle crossing the road?! :)

when will the honda civic release in india....also will the coupe and r type also be released ??

Nice retro looks.

quite a unique looking car... not sure if I should hate it or love it...

ignis is good car to drive

One of the best reviews done on this Channel.

Best car ignis

If they come up with Alpha petrol AMT i will buy. But unfortunately it's not the case :(

Would love to see a comparison between 2017 Hyundai Grand i10, Ford Figo and Maruti Ignis.

old zen was cool.. esteem was head turner of its time.. baleno is rocking.. swift when introduced was loved ... so Maruti does produce interesting and attractive designs

I am 63 years old having a left hip joint replacement implant I HAVE LAST DRIVEN MARUTI 800 in 2008 I am looking for a smal compact automatic petrol car with high driver seat to have a good view of road all around & good safety features & easy to drive & maintain I will be SELF DRIVING both in Hyderabad city & on the highway . PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHETHER MARUTI SUZUKI IGNIS suits my requirements if so please also let me know how much minimum mileage I can expect both IN Hyderabad city & on highway.

yes i thought fiat uno too .. the problem with ignis and scross is that they dont look their size .. now the new swift is ugly too .. what they really needed was to cut old swift from middle and add another row there like a limo with 7 doors instead of 5 .. need more give it the 20 inch wheels and it gets the ground clearance it will need .. when will maruti learn looks in design?

i egarly waiting for this video ... thanks

I really liked renuka's new hair colour!!!

I hate that back Unmatched design :( but everything looks very cool looking car except that back

Hi, autocar team I have a query..is it advisable to by Ignis in 2022 , is Maruthi planning to stop it's production or is there a new varient in pipeline?

Ford Figo Trend Petrol vs Maruti Ignis Delta Petrol. Which is better? I am planning to buy a car and have shortlisted these two. Plz give your valuable suggestions and experiences. Thank you.

wow NIC car

Thankx for not confusing me as I am about to receive Baleno...

You gotta do better than that to wow me more than Honda Jazz did 😐 nowhere near

which one is better ? ignis delta petrol mt or figo trend petrol mt ? the price is almost same and the features as well !! please help

Purchased Ignis Zeta

Thoroughly disappointed with no CVT, Nexa cars should have it. At least in Petrol. Good crisp review though.

The whole package looks like a mis-match although there are some interesting bits of cool and funky styling. Swift seems like a sensible buy. And no SVHS?

people are stupid.i drove this and very good.looks good

When is the hybrid version of ignis going to launch in india?.

how it works in bumpy roads? ., is it better than kuv 100 in terms of maintenance ?

Wow in india also came with a diesel? Were also availabe in 4x4 with this engine?

Go with this car. forget Wagon R it's Fantastic

Ignis(delta) Vs new santro(top)....which is better sir??

finally a test car from Gurgaon

Nice video👍👍👍👍👌👌👌 sir Maruti Suzuki ignis automatic Alpha petrol review please sir

Capable engines ?? where is the Boosterjet engines ?? Atleast the 1 ltr ??

ignis=better ,expensive version of kwid

Interior look nice in the top end varients, But for lower ones, one word"UGLY"

Car video shot in Haryana (HR) or Tamil Nadu (TN)?? all vehicle's passing by are of Tn no. while demo car is of HR??

It is only the tripple stripes behind the back door glass that makes its hind part ugly. Just try hiding it by some stickers or so and see the difference.

Hi, I am confused between toyota liva v and ignis zeta amt and i20 sports 2016 model. All these prices fall around 7.50 lacs, which is my budget. Only petrol variant Kindly advice. Need good milage, normal but good engine for handling and riding and long life

how does it compare with ford figo titanium diesel version?

With the rest aside, doesn't the steering feel uncomfortable at that height.

swift vs ignis which one should I buy?

please tell me rc125 will launch in India Aur not????

I like this car. How much comes for automatic?

please compare it with baleno.

Front is good but sides and back definitely reminds of old 800.

Can we have a video of vento 2017 head to head with city 2017.

Need an honest opinion. I have already booked Petrol Zeta Amt Tinsel Blue. I reside in a small town and there will rarely be any city drive, so whether AMT will be the best pick? Or should I convert to MT ?

I was eagerly waiting for your review mam....:)

Super mam you are in Ecr, Chennai that's great

Great review !

Great car in this segment दिखाओ पे मत जाव हर कार 6 महीने बाद दिखवेसे पुरानी ही लगेगी

Maruti seems to have taken the quirky mantra a bit too far. It's downright difficult to digest the multitude of styling elements, and what's worse is that they do not gel together! This car enters where the Ritz left off (it had a quirky rear, too, but somehow it became tolerable with time), and the high pricing attempts to be synonymous with the Nexa tag. I find the positioning a bit confusing, especially with the all new Swift around the corner.
