The Ignis website https://www.nexaexperience.com/ignis/ is updated. The rear looks a bit better with the added spoiler.

But there is no mention of the prices anywhere on the site for the new Ignis. Looks like the price details mentioned here before is more of a scoop and I guess official announcement is still pending.

Is it possible to retrofit the newly updated bumper to the older IGNIS (2018 model)? I am not yet able to digest its looks even after 2 years of ownership. :Frustrati

Maruti Suzuki has launched Ignis facelift priced from Rs. 4,89,300 (ex-showroom, Delhi).



The new Ignis gets a redesigned grille with U-shaped chrome inserts, LED projector headlights with U-shaped LED daytime running lights, new bumper and skid plate. At the rear, the car gets a bumper with a silver skid plate and reflectors as well as a roof spoiler. The car rides on black alloy wheels.

On the inside, the car gets dual-tone ivory interiors and blue highlights. The car is equipped with a 7-inch SmartPlay Studio touchscreen infotainment system.

The Ignis is powered by a BS6-compliant 1.2-litre petrol engine, which produces 82 BHP @ 6,000 rpm and 113 Nm @ 4,200 rpm. The engine is mated to either a 5-speed manual or 5-speed AMT.

Variant-wise ex-showroom prices:

Sigma - Rs. 4,89,300

Delta - Rs. 5,66,800

Delta AGS - Rs. 6,13,800

Zeta - Rs. 5,89,300

Zeta AGS - Rs. 6,36,300

Alpha - Rs. 6,72,800

Alpha AGS - Rs. 7,19,800

The front fascia looks even better than the outgoing model (although this is one of their models that most people either admire or despise).

This is also one of the cars I felt the AMT(AGS) is uncharacteristically smooth, thanks to the superbly refined 1.2 L mill.

With the mild makeover and the inevitable BS6 compliance in place, Maruti sure would be looking at the sales charts continuing to stay ignited.

I actually have a neutral feeling towards this face lift. The car doesn't look worse if not better. That nose is probably going to be the standard design for all SUVs from the stable.
That rear end featuring an angled windshield and a thick c-pillar with 3 slats is actually an homage to the 1982 Whizzkid and Suzuki is unlikely to alter it. So love it or hate it, there's no getting rid of it :). You can read more about the whizzkid here -https://www.carthrottle.com/post/the...e-ever-driven/

I guess the s-presso then would be the compact suburban SUV :D

While I like the ugly rear bumper being redesigned and the addition of a spoiler, I much prefer the grille of the outgoing model. Would a swap be a feasible idea between the old and new grille?

If the clips and all are similar ,then it would be possible, however I don't think that would be the case. I also like the new bumper, but wouldn't bother to change it at this point in time, for it doesn't provide any further utility.

Ignis facelift images sent by a dealer:

I checked the car yesterday at a dealer when it was launched. It actually looks nice in person. The white Ignis was especially looking good compared to other colours.

I test rode the BS4 Ignis last year and felt the AMT response was decent enough and the small car appeal is good with reasonable space. But the only grouse was the stupid looking rear bumper, alas now they fixed that but screwed up the front which was really good to start with.

For a car of this size I think the roof rails spoil the overall looks, trying to force it to look something it is not.



If we can get aftermarket part to get rid of that toothy front, then it should be a nice car but again the price is something they should have brought down with more baser models available, this is almost in swift territory price wise.

I think you can easily swap the grill from older model. The Headlamp, bumper outline and hood is unchanged, so in all probability the old grill will be a bolt on fit.

Does this car only come with 4 colour options now? It is funny how last year when we went car shopping for a relative the Nexa guys gave us an old brochure with atleast 6 colors plus another 4 dual tone options listed on it. Yet when we enquired, the sales guy told us that the other colours have all been discontinued and we only had 3 or 4 colours to choose from.

I guess the relative lack of demand forced them to cut down paint choices. Is it still just 4?

The official nexa website of new Ignis shows 6 single tone colour options, including a new lucent orange and turqouise blue colour. There is an additional three dual tone options shown, orange with black and nexa blue with black/silver roof. Don't know why your dealership said differently.
