Recently Asked User Questions
- All three care are good in their forte. The Ignis is a great little quirky car that packs in a lot and will put a big smile on your face every time you see it in your garage. A smile big enough to justify that price. On the other hand, Maruti Suzuki Wagon R is the ideal small family car. Its spacious, practical, efficient and offers a convenient automatic with both engine options. Whereas, Celerio is a well-rounded package. If not for the higher price it would have become a stylish alternative to the Wagon R. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
- Wagon r is best in these three cars
- Wagon R is best car ever
- Selecting between the Maruti Ignis and Maruti Celerio would depend on certain factors such as your budget, preference of the segment, usage of the car, features required, etc. The Maruti Ignis is bright aqua blue on the diesel Ignis makes sure people take notice. Second, the all-LED projector headlamps with daytime running lamps. The DRLs shine brightly even under the harsh noon sun. The Ignis, especially in its Alpha trim, the headlamps are pretty much the only thing that differentiates the Zeta variant visually from the top-spec Alpha you see in the pictures. Everything else, including the black-finished 15-inch alloy wheels, the quirky tail and the one-piece grille with a chrome lipstick remain as is. The other subtle pointers are puddle lamps (placed under the wing mirrors) and the inclusion of a rear-view camera. On the other hand, The 2021 Celerio is based on the same HEARTECT platform as the Ignis and the Wagon R, but when it comes to styling, it takes a middle ground where it isn't as utilitarian as the Wagon R or as quirky as the Ignis. Overall, this car looks well balanced from most angles and is pleasing to the eye. When you compare it to the old Celerio it also has more muscle which lends it more road presence and character. When it comes to size, the new Celerio is slightly longer and wider than the Wagon R but in terms of height, it is slightly shorter because of which it doesn't look as big as its sibling. The Celerio is powered by a 1-litre three-cylinder petrol engine which is similar to the old car but Maruti has made significant changes to improve power and efficiency. It now gets a new engine block, head and in fact, this motor is a smaller version of the Swift’s 1.2 litres Dualjet unit. It is a high-tech motor with dual injectors and variable valve timing, produces 68PS and 89Nm, and is paired to either a 5-speed manual or an AMT gearbox. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
- Selecting between the Maruti Ignis and Tata Punch would depend on certain factors such as your budget, preference of the segment, usage of the car, features required, etc. The Maruti Ignis is bright aqua blue on the diesel Ignis makes sure people take notice. Second, the all-LED projector headlamps with daytime running lamps. The DRLs shine brightly even under the harsh noon sun. The Ignis, especially in its Alpha trim, the headlamps are pretty much the only thing that differentiates the Zeta variant visually from the top-spec Alpha you see in the pictures. Everything else, including the black-finished 15-inch alloy wheels, the quirky tail and the one-piece grille with a chrome lipstick remain as is. The other subtle pointers are puddle lamps (placed under the wing mirrors) and the inclusion of a rear-view camera. On the other hand, The Punch is immediately recognisable as a Tata. The face has a strong connection to the Harrier, especially because of the LED DRLs and headlamp layout. The gloss black grille with tri-arrow cutouts for the horn reminds us of the Nexon. The Punch looks chunky too, as these elements are worn on a face that feels appropriately boxy and upright thanks to the stubby nose, flat good and upright A-pillars. It is sizable too; almost as long as the Swift, with a wheelbase that’s smaller by just a few millimetres, and an overall height that is more than the Nexon! Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

Ignis4.0Peppy driving
Owning/Driving Ignis Zeta MT from last 14 months, crossed 9500 kms on odometer till now. My buying experience:As I had already owned secondhand Maruti 800cc and driven Alto K10 (1000 cc) cars in the past & now wish to buy a new car for the first time, I was looking for a 1200cc car, within budget of 6.5 lakhs, so shortlisted Swift, New Hyundai Santro, Tata Tiago and Ignis. Took test drive of each of them. Facelift Swift VXI was overall a good car but costing at around 7.06 lakhs OTR, Santro Asta test drive was not satisfactory. Tata Tiago XZ was at 6.30 lakhs OTR but had 3 cylinder engine.Further I found that Maruti Swift, Baleno, Dezire & Ignis have the same K12B petrol engine generating similar power.Due to heavy year-end discounts the Ignis Zeta MT was costing me at 6.39 lakhs OTR. In this price I was getting a 1200cc 4 cylinder engine car with 15 inch Alloy Wheels, Push Button Start, Body Cladding, Blue tooth & steering control enabled music system having 6 speakers, Fog lamps, Rear-defoggers with wash wipers, Auto folding ORVM, Extended warranty, NEXA Card & Fast tag. Unbeatable deal, So ignored all other options and finalised the Ignis.From test drive to delivery of the car, NEXA dealership have given me a very nice and memorable experience.Pros:Peppy driving.Standard safety features across all variants.Very good mileage, 14-15 in city & 20-22 on highways with AC on.High ground clearance.Sufficient head and leg room.Easy ingress and outgress.Low maintenance & service cost.Many small features in Ignis such as Door handle design, adjustable head rests on all seats, 60:40 foldable rear seat, Split tail light, bigger tyres, etc are found only in costlier and premium cars.Cons:Rear design of the car is very unique but not appealing to the masses and it is the sole reason behind low sales figures of the Ignis.Body panels are weaker compared to other cars as it easily get dents from hitting of small stones on the road.Somewhat stiff suspension.Servicing at regular Maruti Dealership, so no NEXA experience after purchase.My experience with the car:My routine driving is on poor roads. I have also taken a long road trip with family in my Ignis. But no problem at all.First 3 services within a year are free from Maruti. It costs me around 3600rs. for the oil change, wheel balancing alignment and minor spares till today.From my own experience I can say that Ignis is the Best car at this price point. I recommend to buy NEXA card, as the whole cost of the card can be redeemed within a year.Extended warranty is a gimmick and may be avoided.

Ignis4.3I decided on ignis
I decided on ignis when it was least popular.2018 dec.Amt fully loaded star gaze blue.Have now driven 35k km.Except for hard rear suspension which will a thud surprising passengers, No other issues.My car had a clutch slip problem from day 1 but i got concinced that it is ok in an amt version.I retrofitted cng, Laveto.Soon after 3 yrs and mileage has been outstanding.Recently i opened up clutch box to check about the slippage and it turns out that gear box seal was leaking spreading oil on clutch plate thereby causing slippage.That was sorted and clutch plate changed and every thing is fine.Have driven twice mumbai to palakkad and numerous trips in kerala.Easy on pocket since cng expense is way more cheaper.Lack of boot space is made up by rear back seat collapsed to carry baggage, As well as fitting a large custom made organizer behind rear seats.Ignis is a very practical car underrated.Very happy especially after market laveto fitment duel fuel flexibility and great milege.

IgnisA Fusion of Compact Dynamics and Urban Elegance
Drafted to coordinate compact dynamics with civic fineness, the Maruti Ignis emerges as a disparate liberty. Its satiny crossover project seamlessly differentiates it within the hatchback demesne, feeding to those charmed by civic capers. Conning congested megacity thoroughfares becomes royal due to its modest confines, while spirited machine variants contribute to an exhilarating drive. Outdoors, the strictly drafted cabin showcases coincidental amenities and plentiful comfort for all riders. It's important to note, that high inhabitants might detect hinder room hardly constrained. The Maruti Ignis adeptly combines functionality with complication, making it a estimable preference for civic residers seeking a multifaceted, sharp vehicular accompaniment.

IgnisMaruti's Compact Crossover Lineup
Thanks to its swish appearance and useful features, the Maruti Ignis has come as a key feature of comfort and civic disquisition. Every drive is a dynamic and adaptable experience thanks to its fragile size and nimble running, and its important engine guarantees a smooth and operative interpretation on megacity thoroughfares. This engine satisfies my reason for both comfort and civic adventure because to its coincidental features and stoner friendly conveniences, which also give a useful aspect. In tours of both goddess and mileage, the Maruti Ignis has authentically come to represent civic disquisition and comfort, establishing new marks for what a true fragile agent is able of.

IgnisThe Ignis's quirky design
Guess what? I recently had the chance to drive the Maruti Ignis, and it's indeed a unique and compact car. The Ignis's quirky design and compact size are perfect for city adventures. The interior is functional, and the infotainment system is easy to use. However, I noticed that the cabin materials could be improved for a more premium feel. The engine offers good efficiency, but I wished for a bit more power during overtakes. The safety features are decent, but I expected more advanced driver assistance systems. Overall, the Maruti Ignis is a distinctive choice, but enhancing cabin materials and adding more advanced safety tech would make it even more attractive.

VirtusA Daily Driver’s Perspective
After months of anticipation I finally got my hands on the Volkswagen Virtus and I have been driving it around for a good six months now. Its sleek modern design stands out in the crowd. Under the hood, the 1.0 liter TSI engine producing 115 PS of power and 178 Nm of torque offers a smooth and peppy ride which is perfect for city commutes and occasional highway sprints. The cabin space is generous comfortably seating five adults and the 521 liter boot capacity means weekend getaways are awesome.

VirtusMy Journey with the Volkswagen Virtus
After owning the Volkswagen Virtus for a few months now, I must admit, it has been a rollercoaster. Driving off the showroom floor, the Virtus felt like a dream with its 1.0L TSI engine that beautifully balances performance and fuel efficiency is perfect in today’s fuel price scenario. The cabin feels plush with German quality that Volkswagen is known for. But I can guarantee you that you will fall in love with the taillight for sure.The ground clearance, while sufficient for most roads, can make you cringe on those unexpected, monstrous speed bumps commonly found across Indian cities.

Virtusbetter than any other
Volkswagen Virtus offers a thrilling riding journey to the owners. Conscious and true to its quality, it also serves as a great partner to the driver and passengers. The features that it has to provide are purely beneficial to the owner. Although the price is a bit high, its again all worthwhile in my opinion. Good fuel capacity, optionable transmission types and great quality drives, even aids to easy control and management.
