Our take on this /// Verdict

The Maruti NEXA Ignis Diesel Alpha (Old Model) is a compelling option for those seeking a stylish, feature-packed, and fuel-efficient vehicle. While it may not excel in every aspect, it offers a unique blend of modern design, comfortable driving experience, and reliable performance. The diesel engine, although noisy and prone to turbo lag, provides excellent fuel efficiency and sufficient power for city driving and occasional long trips. However, the AMT transmission can be a bit erratic, especially during aggressive driving. Despite some minor drawbacks, the Ignis stands out with its aggressive and funky exterior design, well-appointed interior, and a host of convenience features. For urban dwellers and small families, this car is a solid choice, offering great value for money.

Price

The Maruti NEXA Ignis Diesel Alpha (Old Model) is priced competitively in the Indian market. The ex-showroom price for the diesel variant typically ranges from around Rs. 7.80 lakh to Rs. 8.30 lakh, depending on the location and any additional features or customizations. On-road prices, including taxes, registration, and insurance, can go up to around Rs. 9.5 lakh to Rs. 10.5 lakh. This pricing makes the Ignis a viable option for those looking for a premium hatchback without breaking the bank. The cost-effectiveness, combined with Marutis renowned service network and low maintenance costs, adds to the cars appeal.

Latest Updates

Friday, 16 June 2023 07:31 AM The Maruti Suzuki Ignis Diesel Alpha, though no longer in production, was notable for being the only diesel hatchback under Rs 10 lakh to feature an automatic transmission. This unique combination made it a favorite among those seeking both fuel efficiency and convenience. I think this feature was a game-changer in its segment.

Tuesday, 25 April 2023 10:28 PM In April 2023, Maruti Suzuki upgraded its entire fleet, including the older Ignis models, to comply with BS6 Phase 2 emission norms. This update ensured that the vehicle met the latest environmental standards, even though the diesel variant is no longer available. I believe this move was crucial for maintaining the brands commitment to environmental sustainability.

Monday, 27 February 2023 04:07 PM The Ignis Diesel Alpha was powered by a 1.3-litre DDiS190 engine, producing 75PS and 190Nm of torque. This engine was known for its strong performance once the turbo kicked in, despite some turbo-lag below 2000rpm. It also boasted an impressive ARAI-backed fuel efficiency of 26.80kmpl. I think the engines performance was quite impressive for its size.

Thursday, 13 February 2020 01:27 PM At the Auto Expo 2020, Maruti revealed an updated version of the Ignis, but the diesel Alpha variant remained largely unchanged in terms of design. The exterior saw minor tweaks, including a new grille and bumper design, but the diesel engine and transmission remained the same. I believe these subtle changes helped keep the Ignis fresh without altering its core appeal.
