Sharing most of its design cues with the Japanese-spec model, the India-bound Ignis comes with some SUV-like traits like the flared wheel arches, a 180mm ground clearance, and Suzuki’s All Grip AWD system (expected). Other features expected to be borrowed from the global model include – USB/AUX-IN and Bluetooth equipped media system, Suzuki’s adaptive Dual Camera Braking System (DCBS), hill decent control, and camera equipped front and rear parking sensors. ABS and EBD is likely to come as standard fitment, while Maruti will offer dual front airbags at least as an option right from base variant. Under the hood the Ignis is expected to get the 1.3-litre DDIS engine and possibly a 1.2-litre petrol version as well. There are also talks about a performance-spec Ignis with the 1.0-litre BoosterJet. Transmission duties will likely be performed by either a 5-speed manual gearbox or a CVT unit.
Expected Launch: March, 2017
Expected Price: ₹ 6.5 lakh – ₹ 8.5 lakh
