Rumour: Maruti Ignis & S-Presso to get engine upgrades

The Maruti Ignis and S-Presso are likely to get the upgraded DualJet engines.

Maruti Suzuki has quite a few launches lined up this year. The Ertiga and XL6 are due for an update, followed by the new Brezza. Now, reports suggest that the Ignis and S-Presso could also get some updates under the hood.

It is said that the Ignis could be offered with a more powerful 1.2-litre DualJet K12N petrol engine. The new 89 BHP motor is expected to replace the old 82 BHP K12M engine.

The report states that the S-Presso is likely to get a DualJet upgrade as well. The 1.0-litre K10B petrol engine could be replaced with the K10C unit. This 66 BHP 1.0-litre DualJet unit is currently offered in the Celerio and is claimed to be one of the most fuel-efficient engines in the country.

Maruti Suzuki is also gearing up to introduce factory-fitted CNG kits on its Nexa models, including the new Baleno.
