Maruti launches updated 2019 Suzuki Ignis with a starting price of Rs 4.79 lakh

As we reported earlier, Maruti Suzuki was bringing some updates to the 2019 Maruti Suzuki Ignis. The updated hatchback has now been launched in India. Prices now start at Rs 4.79 lakh for the base Ignis sigma and goes up to Rs 7.14 lakh for the Ignis Alpha AT. All prices ex-showroom Delhi.The changes are minor and come soon after the Baleno hatchback also received a light facelift. The only noticeable change to the exterior is the addition of silver roof rails seen on the top-spec Alpha and Zeta trim.[caption id="attachment_6162941" align="alignnone" width="1280"]

So there's a passenger-side seatbelt reminder, rear parking sensors, a speed alert system, as standard. The Ignis continues with the older Smartplay infotainment and not the Smartplay Studio setup seen on the WagonR.The 2019 Ignis remains unchanged mechanically. The 1.2-litre K-series petrol motor continues with its 83PS and 113Nm. This is paired with a five-speed manual or AMT.The Ignis has always remained in the shadow of its more conventional cousins like the Swift and Baleno. We're hoping this update helps boost the popularity of this quirky but fun car. Expect a roughly Rs 20,000 bump in prices to account for the new tech.
