Maruti NEXA Ignis Diesel Zeta (Old Model)

The Maruti NEXA Ignis Diesel Zeta, although an older model, still holds its ground in the Indian market for several reasons. While it may not be the safest car in its segment, as some users have pointed out, it offers a compelling package of comfort, performance, and fuel efficiency. The diesel engine, though discontinued due to being overpriced and less competitive, provided a peppy driving experience with 74 bhp and 190 Nm of torque. The AMT transmission, though not as smooth as CVT or torque converter units, was an improvement over earlier AMTs. The cars funky styling, both inside and out, appeals to many, and its overall build quality is above average. However, the stiff ride and lack of certain safety features like hill hold and a better safety rating are notable drawbacks. Despite these, the Ignis remains a solid choice for those seeking a stylish, fuel-efficient, and comfortable urban vehicle.
