The Maruti Suzuki Ignis is one of the popular compact hatchbacks currently sold in the market. With an average monthly sale of about 3500 units, it's not the best-selling Maruti Suzuki hatchback, however, the car has managed to create a niche for itself. Like all Maruti Suzuki products, the Ignis is also a petrol-only car, as the diesel model was discontinued in 2018. Earlier in February 2020, the company launched a mid-life facelift of the Maruti Suzuki Ignis, which came will the updated BS6 engine. And here are some of the key highlights of the 2021 Maruti Suzuki Ignis.
