With the review of Maruti Suzuki Ignis, I found it remains a highly practical, city-friendly buying decision. It balances eager city performance with real-world comfort, while its 1.2-litre four-cylinder engine effortlessly delivers a frugal 20.89 kmpl. However, if you are looking for a true premium SUV in India, a massive tech package, or a rugged luxury SUV, the aging cabin technology and stiff highway ride will feel like a compromise. It is the perfect match for urban commuters seeking a zippy, easy-to-park car with low maintenance costs. Conversely, growing families requiring generous rear legroom or buyers prioritizing a rugged micro-SUV presence would be better served by looking at newer alternatives like the Tata Punch or Hyundai Exter.
