The compact crossover, Maruti Suzuki Ignis was caught on camera previously in India as well as Europe, and now it is again spied testing on the Indian roads. Maruti Suzuki Ignis was first globally introduced at the Tokyo Motor Show last year. And later the model made its India debut at Auto Expo in February 2016.
Globally, the Ignis is powered by a 1.25-litre 4-cylinder K12 DualJet petrol engine, paired with SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki) mild-hybrid technology. The engine is tuned to deliver a maximum power output of 91 PS with the combination of 118 Nm peak torque.
Some reports suggest that for the India-Bound variant, Maruti Suzuki will launch this new compact crossover 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 introduce later for the petrol variant.

Maruti Suzuki may launch Ignis in the Indian market during the festive season this year and will go on sell through the company’s premium dealership, Nexa. Once launched in the country, it will compete with the car in its segment like Mahindra KUV 100 and Ford EcoSport.
