Maruti Suzuki Ignis Specifications
The later Ignis was sold in Sigma, Delta, Zeta and Alpha variants. Sigma was the basic variant. Delta added more comfort features while Zeta got the touchscreen and alloy wheels. Alpha had features such as LED projector headlamps, automatic climate control and a rear parking camera.
1. Engine & Transmission Options
The later Suzuki Ignis has a 1197 cc four-cylinder petrol engine which is paired with a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT options. All variants are front-wheel drive. Older Ignis models can also be found with a 1248 cc diesel engine. The diesel was discontinued in 2018.
2. Interior & Comfort
The Ignis has good headroom in the front and rear. Delta and higher variants get adjustable rear headrests and a 60:40 split rear seat. Alpha gets automatic climate control and driver-seat height adjustment. There are bottle holders in the doors and some storage spaces around the centre console. Two adults get enough space in the rear. If another adult is added, space could be an issue, but a child in the middle should be okay.
3. Mileage & Performance
The petrol Ignis has a certified mileage of 20.89 km/l. Manual and AMT versions have the same claimed figure. The engine is smooth and doesn't make a lot of noise at normal speeds. Pickup is good in the city. The manual changes gears faster while the AMT takes a little more time between some shifts. Older cars may give different mileage figures depending on how well they have been maintained.
4. Safety Features
Dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors and ISOFIX child-seat mounts are available on the later Ignis. ESP and hill-hold assist became standard in 2023. Alpha also gets a rear parking camera. The Ignis tested by Global NCAP in 2022 received 1 star for adult occupant protection and 0 stars for child occupant protection. The test was done before ESP became standard.
5. Maruti Suzuki Ignis Dimensions & Boot Space
The Ignis has a short bonnet and the corners of the car are easy to judge from the driver's seat. This helps when passing through narrow lanes or parking close to another vehicle. The doors are also quite large for a car of this size, so there is enough space to get in and out.

Maruti Suzuki Ignis User's Review 4.4
"Love the design and the height. Easy to park and perfect for daily use. "
"I get excellent mileage and the car feels super light on maintenance. "
"Bought a used Ignis from Spinny. No regrets — drives like new. "
"Zippy performance and smooth gearbox. Great choice for city driving. "
"It doesn’t look like any other hatchback. Bold and youthful design. "
"Roads near my house are quite bad and there are many speed breakers also. Ground clearance is good and the bottom has not touched till now. The suspension feels a little hard on some broken patches."
"I have a 2021 Ignis manual and the engine is really smooth. Pickup is also nice for this size car. There are four people at home and space is enough for us. When one more adult comes with us then the back seat becomes tight."
"I thought Ignis would be very small inside before buying it. Actually there is good head space and the front seats are comfortable. Rear is also fine for my two kids and mother. Interior plastic quality is average."
"Mine is AMT and mostly I drive in office traffic. No clutch is a big relief for me. Gear change is felt sometimes at slow speed. Otherwise the car has been good and no major issue till now."
"The car is good for my daily use and the engine has never given any trouble. During family trips the boot becomes full very quickly. We have to keep some smaller bags on the rear seat if four people are travelling."
