Ignis is a funky hatchback that looks ready for the city drive. The Ignis was first presented at Auto Expo 2016 and was launched in early 2017 by Maruti Suzuki. The petrol and diesel engine options were initially offered. However, Maruti Suzuki does not, as you all know, bet on any diesel policy in the BS6 era, so now only a petrol option is provided. The new Ignis Facelift was shown at the 2020 Auto Expo by Maruti Suzuki. The new Ignis BS6 was also launched in India some time back.
