Maruti’s Ignis shocker

Maruti Suzuki never ceases to surprise everytime there is a new model released. Even when they have an inkling of a clue that their numero uno position is under threat from other car makers, they come up with something which will upset the calculations of other car makers. Maruti Suzuki Ignis (Driven, evo India #41) seems to be a definite game-changer. It might be targeted at the millennials, but trust me, the car has enough oomph and charm that even hardcore auto lovers would love to have this in their garage.

For a company which had humble beginnings with the much-loved Maruti 800, it has come a long way in terms of innovation indeed. Armed with cool and funky looks, it can give any other new car model a run for its money. With the new Baleno and Vitara Brezza added to the stable, the sales numbers just seem to be climbing up in the last couple of months. They have also managed to increase their share of the pie in the total market-share. Their strong service network across India is one of their USPs.
