Maruti Ignis to launch this Diwali

Maruti Suzuki has showcased the Ignis Concept at the 2016 Auto Expo in Delhi. The Ignis, unveiled internationally at the Tokyo motor show 2015, sports a large grille with encapsulated headlights, a clamshell bonnet with vents on the side as on the Vitara, and blacked-out A- and B-pillars.

The wheel arches are flared, and the car rides on 18-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels. It gets projector headlamps and some versions get LED units as seen on the concept.

In international markets, the Ignis is powered by Suzuki’s 1.25-litre dual-jet petrol engine paired with the company’s SHVS mild-hybrid technology and an optional all-wheel-drive system.

However, when it reaches our shores, the model is likely to use a 1.2-litre K12 petrol motor and a 1.3-litre diesel engine. Maruti will launch the Ignis in India around the festive season and will retail the new car via Nexa dealerships.
