Maruti Suzuki Ignis [2017-2019] User Reviews

Exterior

Stunning looking car. I got mine recently and I can't stop staring at it. I think this is by far the best quality of this car, after trust of Maruti. I remember when Maruti had launched the Swift, I felt that was one bold and revolutionary move. I felt the same way with Ignis. Full five star for styling here. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

The look and feel should be appealing for the most, however, it didn't excite me as much. I like the interior to be more subtle, Polo like. But then that's me. :)

The plastic quality is typical Maruti like and doesn't give any confidence. But I knew what I was getting into. Even the lighter colour of the dual tone colours used is a bit light. I wish it was a bit more beige like than gray-white like. It will get very dirty. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

I bought the Delta Petrol AT. I am very happy with the performance. It's really peppy in city peppy which is where I die everyday in. Was confused between MT and AT but took the call in favour of AT. I am confident that it's the best decision that I took in recent times, other than getting married to my wife (she was not my wife before marriage, just clarifying). I ahven't taken it to highway yet but I think it should work fine. Also, I haven't crossed 2000 kms and driving the car very subtly right now. More will follow later once I cross the run-in period.

Final Words

Excellent car. Not value for money though. I wish the car was cheaper by 1L and it could have send all other cars in the segment to scrapyard. Also I'm very wary of safety standards of Maruti. They are delivering what Indian consumers really want so not their fault maybe but I think with each new product they launch they are making their cars more Indian like. We Indians leave safety to God and this is exactly what Maruti is also doing. :P 

 

looks, Maruti reliabilityPrice, safety of Maruti

Immediate thought for every person when they consider Ignis Why to consider Ignis Zeta 1.2 MT as we have other options like to Swift VXI(+10k), Baleno Delta (+40K), Celerio ZXI (-30K) or even I can buy Dezire VXI(+70k). When we opt for Nexa in Maruti it is obvious for the waiting period and I heard everyone will face some delay. So, this happened to me and my friends as well, you will not get delivery in hurry, sometimes it might be more delay than you expect, be prepared to it. Apart from these remaining will be good at Nexa. Coming to driving experience Ignis will be really good and stable at the corners and easy to handle with small steering. Push this car at more speed at straight line or corners you don't feel un-comfort it will be very much planted. The height and ground clearance really impressive compared to others as this will help in Indian roads. If you are in the city or highway the car will impress you and have very minimal stress during traveling. The main reason to buy is riding comfort in this vehicle and height we sit in. If you compare the features in Zeta variant of Ignis and Baleno delta you can see some good features in Baleno compare to Ignis higher variant(zeta) Baleno addition features and dimensions: Auto climate control, 225 more length, 55 more width, Anti-glare Mirrors, more boot space Ignis addition features and dimensions: Alloy wheels and keyless push start and stop it misses above mentioned But why Ignis is nearer to the same cost having just alloys and keyless push start and even if the Baleno is bigger than Ignis. After research, I found that the build quality is really impressive in this car compared to most of the cars in this segment price range in Maruti. I have practical examples as well when the bike has hit very hard to my car I thought back bumper was broken. But it remained it shape as it is, except I have few scratches on it. If this has happened to any other car in this segment it might be more affected. You can verify in the web to cross-check my words. Regarding looks, it is purely dependant on individuals. In my view, the front part of Ignis will be very impressive but if you have the same impression and look at the back of this car you might regret buying this car. it will be 1 of 100 will like the rear profile of Ignis. If you compromise on it you can go for it after you accept cons as well in below. As it is Maruti and people buy Maruti for two reasons one is mileage and other is the maintenance. In the city, you will get 16-18km/l and maintenance will be 3k after free service. So, this will not be altered much in any Maruti cars So in detail Pros will be 1.handling and driving quality 2.good for city driving 3.very good performance 4.height and ground clearance 5.better build quality in Maruti in this price(Don't compare with Tata, Toyota or Ford) it will be low Cons: 1. Very low sales volume in Maruti affects your resale value 2. In highway, as steering is lite you will not get good confidence but it is no poor though 3. Not very good looking car I think Delta will be a good deal in entire range if you are fine with the sacrificing alloy and keyless push start. Which I don't think it is a deal breaker in city conditions.

The interior quality is good and the top-spec car gets automatic climate control, a modern touchscreen Apple Car Play infotainment system equipped with USB and Bluetooth connectivity, reverse parking sensors and a multifunction steering wheel. It gets all-four power-windows on the top-spec car along with electrically adjustable wing mirrors and rear parking sensors. The interior is decently spacious thanks to its upright seating. The boot space is larger than the Swift but is still limited.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)air conditioning, seating, sound and music quality, FM radio are all good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox1200 cc, 5 speed manual gear box very easy shifting, power steering response excellent, milege-21.1 kmpl on highway, and 19 kmpl in city, with A/C ON, and 5 peoples in car.

Ride Quality & Handling ride quality excellent, good pickup, car handling superb even on 120 kmph speed , overtaking to another vehicle is very easy, brakes are also good and responsive. all safety features present in it.

Final Word IGNIS MY FIRST CAR, BEST VALUE FOR MONEY. DONE 5000 KMS, IN 6 MONTHS, BEST CAR.

Areas of improvement  original boot space 260 litres, it should be little more near about 300 litres.

Very good fuel economy, I am getting 21 kmpl on highway and 19 kmpl in city,Nothing...

I have Ignis Delta/ petrol. I am very happy to have this car. Thank u Maurti. This car design in completely on new platform with already tested engine. No need to tell about exterior design. Its superb, just European style car. No one car in this segment have this beautiful style. Really unconventional design. I have ridden 986 KM with 18.7 KM/ LTR average. Just showing on tachometer. 1198 CC engine tune perfectly with this design, shockers & platform. CABIN NOISE IS ZERO. pin drop silent inside the cabin. 180 MM ground clearance along with 15th wheels provide, good quality of riding indian road condition. Wheel base to too good in this segment so LEG ROOM inside the cabin is very very good. Even in rear side also. 5 persons can sit very comfortable. many times we did it. Two times I drive it 100 KM/hour. Its seems controllable and stable. Turning radius to short. Easy movement in city traffic as well as torque is also high than other car. not need change gear even in slow speed. driver seat in very good position so visibility is clear even on Right side also. Important points are, IGNIS have all require safety feature ABS, EBD, AIRBAG, TCT if break assist(BA) also should be inside, but it ok. Maruti is thinking about safety for Indian, its good for us.

HENCE BEST DRIVABILITY, VISIBILITY, SAFETY. GOOD AVERAGE. ITS COMPLETE PRACTICAL CAR. DESIGN, PERFORMANCE. EVERYTHING IS GOOD IN THIS CAR.

I am just missing touch screen infotainment system. But it ok. I am very to have this, and hope it will continue.

I own the Ignis Delta MT. This is my first ever car, and have driven for few hundred kilometers. Here is my first ever car review:

1. Buying experience was just amazing. I had lot of choices in front of me, within a tight budget of 6 lakhs. After an intensive research of 6 months, selected the Ignis. Why? Well the mid variants are completely VFM, the features you get and the standard safety. Plus the amazing engine. Many people hate the back design and reject the car, but let me tell you that you will be always inside the car, and hence a car should never be chosen on the design alone! Many factors are to be considered.

2. Ride quality is good, I found it very comfortable. The suspension is a little stiff, but can absorb some bumps. The tried and tested 1.2 petrol engine. Responsive steering. Car is light and has a good turning radius. Very spacious in the inside, believe me! The car looks small but inside its opposite. But in rear seat only 2.5 can sit.

3. Looks are completely subjective, Performance is very peppy, the power is there at all times.

4. Low maintenance costs being a Maruti.

5. Pros: Mid variants are VFM, standard safety, high GC, 15" wheels, engine Cons: Rear seat is best for 2.5, A little stiff suspension, light weight car, cheap plastics used but better than quality of Baleno. To sum it up, if you are a first time car buyer with a budget of 6-6.5 lakhs or want a pocket friendly hatch, Ignis is for you.

Final Words I have IGNIS/ Delta/ MT. first of all, IGNIS price is not high. its feature loaded car in this segment and its value of money. We can compare it with Grand i10- MAGNA. Ignis Delta have following features Two Airbags,ABS , EBD, TCT and steering mounted controls, Tilts adjustment, Ground clearance 180 MM, Short Turning radius, Music system, Soft gear shifting, drive seat high is good position. Over all.BEST DRIVABILITY, VISIBILITY, AVERAGE, SAFETY , GOOD MOVEMENT IN CITY. A SINGLE FEATURE DONT CONTAIN IN GRAND I10 now Price in my udaipur city is IGNIS 6.1 lacs and Grand i10 is 6.05 lacs. I am getting 20 KMPL in my city. torque of IGNIS is too good. no need to change gear frequently even slow speed. hence its best car for me.

Areas of improvement NA.

I was in search of Hatchback car since last 1.5 yr. Studied lot on internet, visited several showrooms and after several test drives i came to conclusion that I need a petrol car. (Since my use is very limited.) 1.2L and 4 cyl engine. Was my choice. My Budget was fixed 5.3lakh. I was very much interested in figo, but was not in my budget,more ever figo is very poor in milage for petrol one. Swift- is good one but lacks inside space so rejected. Datson GO is also good one but 3cyl engine makes lot noise and poor built quality. Also polo, Micra-, figo but all were out of budget. Meanwhile IGNIS was launched. Immediately i went to showroom and took test drive. I liked vehicle. I purchased Sigma varient. In my opinion sigma and Delta are value for money. Sigma varient has ABS EBD ,and 2 AIRBAGS ,and front power windows too. I got delivery on 18april 2017. Till now I have completed 12000km. EXTERIOR- Looks good from front, many people don't like rear design but it's vary sporty practical design. Due to rear design we get huge boot space in small car. INTERIOR- Spacious interiors. This car looks small from outside but very SPACIOUS from inside. More space than swift. Plenty of head room and legroom too. Front seats are comfortable. Rear seats are comfortable too but thigh support could have been better for rear seats. Cup holders are very useful. Doors have good space for bottle storage. Drivers view from inside is good. U have to be conscious while parking reverse. Since it's tall boy. ENGINE PERFORMANCE- Pretty good. Very smooth engine. Noiseless. Very powerful. U will love to drive it. It works in Ghat areas very well. U don't need a accelerator to drive reverse gear. Low end torque is good. RIDE AND HANDLING-. Superb!! Very smooth stearing wheel. It's fun to drive this car. Fantastic machine. U will love smooth sound of engine while accelarating. Three digit speed is not problem for IGNIS. I have achieved 130km/hr on highway. No vibrations. 180mm ground clearance is pretty good. It never hits any speed breaker with full load also. Several times I have driven through my fields. 15inch tyres are very useful on bad roads. Upto 10000km i was getting milage of 18 on highway. After 10000km servicing milage is 20+ on highways and 17 in city.thats good one for petrol engine. Suspension is stiff one. U have to b careful on pits and bumps. I have travelled 5 long drives in my car. I can say that long drive comfort is good but not the best. Gear shifting is not the easiest one but it is acceptable. AC is good , cools fast. He1 MAINTENANCE- for 10000km service bill was 1450rs. Will update next servicing. CONS- Rear seat is not much comfortable. Poor built quality. CONCLUSION- VERY GOOD CAR FOR CITY RIDE, GOOD FOR HIGHWAYS ALSO. If up have low budget go for it. In low budget it's powerful car.

Buying experience was very good,hastle free.I loved this car as it is very compact and spacious,I am getting fuel efficiency of more than 20kmpl as I drive mostly on highway's,whereas in traffic conditions getting not less than 15 kmpl. Lookwise very good and performance best in class,the issue is with the suspension which is very stiff,It feels as if suspension is not working at all,that need to be improved,otherwise car is superb.

My newly purchased Ignis Petrol Auto vehicle from Varun Auto,Bangalore had a sudden pick up in acceleration and causing a life threatening accident.

On 14th January, 18 while driving above in a bye lane around 6.15PM with a speed around 15 kms (it was a bye lane and hence the slowest speed possible), the vehicle suddenly picked up speed to around 50-60kms and went out of control with in seconds. The brakes did not work and application of handbrake  did not help.

The vehicle went through few boulders and came to a halt after hitting a large mound. Fortunately I was alone in the car and no other person was injured. It was a very scary experience and I really do not understand the reason for this malfunction. The vehicle has been towed to Varun Auto service centre at Yeswanthpur, Bangalore by around 9.30PM.

Could you please depute your technical personnel to inspect the reason for above malfunctioning and also advise whether it is safer to use this car any longer.

Good smart lookCar malfunctions and picks up acceleration on its own
