Maruti Suzuki launched its all new compact crossover, the Ignis in Delhi for a price tag starting at INR 4.59 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The event also featured the performance of Swedish DJ Axwell at the launch of the model aimed at the millennials.
Before we get to the variant wise price list, let me tell you a few details of the Ignis, starting with its history. Introduced to the world as the iM-4 compact crossover, the model made its debut at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show. Following its world debut, the Ignis was showcased in India for the first time at the 2016 Auto Expo as a concept.
