They could have chosen different location, somewhere near Kalyan Nagar/HBR Layout would have been better. That part doesn't have NEXA outlet yet.

Hope Maruti launches the AMT in top end variant as well. |
Correct, I felt the same after the variants were revealed by BHPian Senna4Ever. But that's how it is. But at least some features should have been made exclusive to the AMT/AT versions.

PS : I still can't get over this variant strategy. With AMT, the price difference is anyway not so humoungous. Maruti should have provided AMT on Zeta & Alpha instead of Delta. |
Well said, price difference does make them to compromise on offering a top spec Variant in Auto Transmission. This is a same across manufacturers. If India wasn't a price sensitive market, we would have seen AT in all trims.

Height Adjustable Driver Seat should have been offered in Zeta. Don't know why Maruti missed it, as it doesn't cost much. Or maybe they didn't have enough features to differentiate Alpha from Zeta.

Congratulations, your car will definitely attract eyeballs initially. Which color have you choosen ?

Something to do with Pricing. If there wasn't a Diesel version, there would have been a Fully Spec Automatic. But when you bring Diesel into equation, the automatic will have almost same price as the Top End Diesel, in that case, most of the people will prefer Diesel, which kills the Automatic.

Reverse camera is helpful, so is the Height Adjustable Driver Seat, but when these are missing from Zeta & you want AMT, you should compromise on either of these. These little things make one to stay away when he/she is looking at these in thier car.

Correct, Things that one can get aftermarket shouldn't be given much importance, but the safety features shouldn't be neglected. It's ultimately these that save one's life. I have seen so many people not buying the car with Safety Pack, just because of Price difference. Many people also consider Airbags as useless.

This is based on indicative prices floating (Ignis) around at various portals. MSIL would very much want to keep the buyer within its network by providing large number of choices below 10 Lac segments. |
This is not a new thing, Maruti has been this successful (Products Part) because of thier brilliant pricing. This has given them the share they have today. But now, in a bid to grow even further, they have started to provide quality. These step by step procedure ensures you improve on weaknessess while the core values are kept intact.
No doubt, this Ignis will be big hit like the Baleno & Brezza.

Definitely Aerodynamics, because the Baleno is more curvy & also has Liquid Flow Design. While the Ignis is Square & very boxy. Fact is that Sedans (Curvy) are more aerodynamic then SUVs (Boxy). Hence the Claimed FE is the same.
Regarding the Audio on Lower Variants. It is similar in size & shape of the Touchscreen HU. But, the Screen is a Monochrome Type, and it has some buttons below.
