Pros & Cons

Pros	Its compact size makes it a fun-to-drive vehicle in the city. The engine is refined and has great fuel efficiency.

Looks good and offers a striking design Comes with a fuel-efficient 1.2-litre NA petrol and a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine The 6-speed manual transmission is smooth and offers light gearshifts The cabin is well laid out with practical storage spaces It offers good features such as a digital instrument cluster, 10-inch infotainment with wireless connectivity among other features It offers multiple customization options to suit different kinds of buyers The suspension is comfortable and the hatchback offers good handling
Cons	It has not received any update for a long time and feels a bit dated. Space is not enough for 5 passengers Competitions offer more features. The build quality is not as good as the competition.	The cost-cutting measures are noticeable within the cabin There is no option for an automatic transmission The top-spec variant is priced at Rs 9 lakh (ex-showroom), which is relatively high for its segment The integrated headrests are not ergonomically comfortable The cabin width accommodates four adults comfortably, but fitting five people might be uncomfortable The limited availability of service centers and dealer networks poses a concern for long-term reliability

  Ignis has spacious and comfortable driver and co passenger seats. decent back seats and good luggage space in the boot. It is a peppy car and just zooms through the city traffic. no issues like it very much. I primarily use it for daily commute and three times have driven from Maharashtra to J&K and vice versa, absolutely no issues faced any were. Very easy to maintain and low service cost.
