Cheers

Please share some pics of your new head lights in action.

I own an Ignis 2017 Alpha Petrol MT, brought it as used, done so far 7000 kms, havent reset MID, fuel efficiency hovers around 16.8 kmpl to 17.5 kmpl. All within Bangalore, spanning good, bad and ugly traffic conditions. It is only what MID displays as average fuel efficiency based on 7000kms driving

That's acceptable IMO.

Talking about tyre pressure, I run on Continental UC6 and keep the front tyre pressure at 33 and the rear at 32. I noticed that with the Company recommended 36 front and 32 rear, the car goes all over the place.
What does others recommend ?

I recently left my Ignis for periodic service. It came back with the thread in the parcel tray missing. I contacted the service personnel twice. I don't want to waste my time anymore. Is there any way I can get the thread alone seperately? or should I get the entire parcel tray?

Is there any news of an all new Ignis? The current gen Ignis was launched in 2017, and apart from facelift, nothing has changed. Now, with the Citroen C3 being launched, Maruti could revive the demand by launching an all new version.

Although Ignis is smaller in size, compared to C3, the concept is same.

Agree - it has been quite a while - they can add a mild hybrid system and launch with better mileage figures as well. But - I have not heard of any new version being launched soon.

I just came back from a test drive of a manual Alpha Ignis. Apart from the good things, I observed a few potentially negative ones, which owners can comment upon.
1) The ceiling at the doors is about an inch or two lower than the roof ceiling, so you feel a bit hemmed in and also have to be careful not to hit your head during ingress/egress. Maybe they did that to increase rigidity along the roof/frame, but is something to watch out for.
2) There is a visibility gap (I wouldnt say blind spot) in the rear C pillar where the slanted kink cuts into the quarter glass, so viewing cross traffic while turning right into a busy street could require some additional attention.
3) Although the steering did self-return, I felt that it didn't look to be too steady and there was quite a play even at dead centre during straight road driving.

I have also looked at the Grand I10 Nios and while it also has a few issues (like ingress/egress for rear being much lower, also rear leg room), it generally felt like a more airy car with better all round visibility. better steering feel. Would love to hear Ignis owner's views on those above points especially.

Driving a White Ignis Alpha since 6th February 2022 and today also did a 150 Km highway run and never had any issues with ingress or egress . I did bump my head while getting in a Jeep Compass Limited though few months back.
The C pillar is understandably thick and there may be some issues with blind spot to some but then again , IMO one gets used to it and a lot depends upon how you use your ORVMs and overall experience in driving.
Steering is rock steady at all speeds and I guess your experience is most probably due to the test drive car you drove. Yes it should weigh up more on highway and at higher speeds but then again you can't have everything. There are cars with their pros and cons. I have noticed the steering very slightly move when the ignition is off and you press the start button, before pressing the clutch pedal. I don't know why that happens but it happens only a very few times and that's about it

1. Haven't observed the door and the height non alignment. Also haven't hit the head since 2017 once. 2. Haven't felt this was an isssue, at least for me. 3. Can't comment on 3 as I drive a 2017 Ignis, where the steering doesn't come back to the centre position. Happy car shopping.

The 195/60 R15 tyres on my ignis has made quite a difference to the steering feel. Also improved the return to center action. However, I would recommend to change the rim to 5.5 (swifts ZDI+ alloy is a perfect replacement) in case you are upgrading to 195/60 as the stock 5.0 rims can handle 185 sections at max.

I own Ignis Zeta AMT 2017 and have clocked ~30K Km. Although I've not driven the Grand I10 Nios, Ignis is likely to score better for following: (i) cost of ownership (ii) a better mileage (iii) 60:40 split rear seat (iv) on paper it is ~75mm taller & 10 mm wider! (v) Ignis Zeta AMT could be more VFM!

Hi, I am looking at picking up an Ignis Zeta AMT as an urban/daily runabout. Wanted to know whether the current production lots of Ignis come with the same latest generation of Marelli AMT units doing duty in the Celerio, or are they older generation ones?

Hello Ignis owners,

I am an owner of the 1st Gen Ignis (2018 model) Petrol AMT. I have been observing an issue with cold starts. The car stutters for the first few 100s of metres after a cold start. The movement from my parking slot till a few metres into the road are jerky. I complained about it during my services, but the issue still remains. The service guy told me, this is a common issue with AMTs. Is it the case? Starts after driving for some distances are pretty smooth.

I try to rev it a bit after ignition on to eliminate the stutter/jerks. It doesn't work always. Any suggestions / recommendations? Thanks for the advice.

[haribalram]

I found related posts on Maruti AMT issues here (Maruti's AMT woes).

Specifically through this (Maruti's AMT woes)post (although on Swift AMT), I am able to draw some parallels. The guidance appears to be continue until the clutch becomes unmanageable and needs replacement.

PS: The gentleman appears to have gotten the issue resolved here (Maruti's AMT woes).

There is a separate discussion specifically for Ignis. You can find it here. (Maruti Ignis: Slight juddering on cold start. Why?)

I've been facing this issue since 2018 and around 8k on the ODO. Now I always let the engine warm up for a minute before engaging 'D/R' mode. The ECU lowers the revs after 40 seconds. I wait for a bit longer. This certainly helps and I barely notice any jerks after that.

Mind you, this is specifically about cold starts. I've never faced any jerks/ abnormal lag under normal driving conditions. Currently the ODO is at 30k+.
