Under the hood, the Maruti Ignis facelift makes use of a BSVI-compliant version of the 1.2-litre K12 engine that comes mated to a 5-speed MT and an AMT as earlier. This mill delivers the same output as in the BSIV guise - 85 PS and 113 Nm of peak power and torque repectively.

The Maruti Ignis facelift’s launch is slated for the coming weeks. It is expected to carry a small premium over the previous model due to the BSVI upgrades and additional features. It will continue to compete against the likes of Tata Tiago, Maruti WagonR, Hyundai Santro, and Datsun GO.
