Maruti Suzuki Ignis | The Urban SUV

The product which come under the biggest auto brand in India i.e. Maruti Suzuki, being a Maruti product this has quite a low sales figure in its segment. Well its segment is also not well defined as the lower variants has a price which overlaps the Wagona-R and and celerio, where higher variants are been over-lap by swift and somewhere with Baleno .
It got 4 variants i.e. Sigma, Delta, Zeta and Alpha with a options of manual and a AMT gear box.

Price starts from 4.95 lakhs ex-showroom.

Looks
Starting with exterior,
From front it looks super boxy and has square elements all through out like at the upper grill it got 4 square vents with Suzuki logo at the center and squared head lights with projector setups (in Alpha variant Lower variant gets halogen bulb) with DRLs and indicator in halogen and same with fog lamp too. Lower part of bumper got a plastic skid plate with air vents and number plate holder.

At side look also it looks much better and well designed than Wagona-r, where we have 15' alloys in black and 14' steel rimes with wheel caps and body side cladding which runs through out the car and some on the bonnet. Door handles are finished in body colored and same with ORVMs. The A-pillar and B-pillar are finished in black and C/D pillar has no glass partition, where is in that space this car got an Addidas Logo. However it also got roof rails in grey and radio-antina at the top.

The rear look is somewhere people don't like this car as the rear part is bit disproportionate to the eyes due to the rear wind screen and tail gate design. However at rear we got halogen tail lamps with high mounted stop lamp and rear wiper washer with defogger all this available from delta and zeta variant.
And rear camera present on one side of boot opener. At the lower part of bumper it got dual tone with Black and silver finish, new designed reflectors with 4 reverse parking sensors as standard.
From inside,
This car looks really interesting and with color combination of black and light grey shades circular AC 
vents at sides and horizontal at the center of dashboard with a 7' touch screen infotainment system 
with Android Auto and Apple Car play. Underneath, there is an automatic/ manual AC controls (depends in different variants), with some storage space for phones and has 12 Volt charging socket and USB and AUX port. Interior also has some metallic touches like in door handles and around the gear lever. 

Steering got audio and telephonic controls, and the drivers display got bike like speedometer and tachometer with MID in the right side shows avg. fuel consumption, distance to empty, Trip data and a lot more....
The rear seat space is also quite good in it with decent knee room and leg room and the best part is adjustable head rest which is not available in wagonar or swift base models and in its competition like 
Santro or Grand i10 nios. Seats got 60:40 split format to increases the practicality and door pockets at rear as well.

Power-train
Powering this car is the Maruti's well known 1.2 liter K-series petrol engine produces 83 HP @6000RPM and 113 N-m of torque at 4200RPM. Which is matted to a 5-speed manual and AMT gear box with launch control, 0-100 in just 13.4 secs.
With an average of 15-17 in city and 20 and above in highways depending on the driving conditions. 

Verdict
If you are planning to buy a compact hatchback then you can sort list this car, But if you have requirements of milage,after sales service and resale value then this should be your preference and can be a perfect choice with slight better build quality and stability than wagonar and swift. 
But if your concern is safety then this is not a car for you.
