Maruti Suzuki Ignis Cons - Why Should You Not Buy

Underwhelming Base Variants

The Ignis is a quirky little crossover but the styling of its base variants seems underwhelming. The highlight elements of the Ignis are its LED headlights and taillights, auto AC and touchscreen infotainment. With the lower variants, you do not get any of those features and are left with a contraption. If you can stretch your budget, we would recommend you to go with the higher variants of the Ignis.

No Turbo Petrol Or Diesel Option

Maruti Suzuki used to offer the Ignis with the 1.3L DDIS diesel engine. But due to less demand, Maruti Suzuki pulled the plug on the Ignis diesel even before the BS6 norms kicked in. Maruti Suzuki also didn’t see a future with turbo petrol engines. The Baleno RS did not sell in good numbers and was eventually discontinued. Rivals of the Ignis offer turbo petrol engines that offer superior performance.

Top Variant Priced Very Close To Baleno

The Ignis comes with most of the bells and whistles in the top Alpha variant. However, it is priced closer to the Baleno Zeta that also offers almost the same set of features. Not only that, but the Baleno offers more space, better comfort and pleasing looks over the Ignis. Hence, if you want better space, comfort and practicality, switching to the Baleno makes more sense.
