Maruti Suzuki launched its first Compact Urban SUV, Ignis, in the year 2016. The Ignis received the BS6 update and minor cosmetic changes early this year. The new Ignis Facelift was showcased at the 2020 Auto Expo and was launched shortly after. The Ignis has always been a good-looking car and with the recent update, it just got even better. Now, the company has updated the Zeta variant of the new 2020 Maruti Suzuki Ignis with some new features. Here are some more details about it.
The Maruti Suzuki Ignis is sold in four variants: Sigma, Delta, Zeta and Alpha. Earlier, only the top-spec Alpha trim used to come with Suzuki's SmartPlay Studio Infotainment System. But, now Maruti Suzuki has introduced this SmartPlay Studio Infotainment System in the second top model Zeta too. Previously, the Zeta trim used to get a 2-DIN audio system which has now been replaced by the 7.0-inch touchscreen system. This infotainment system is compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
This SmartPlay Studio Infotainment System is loaded with features and can be found on the top-spec model of all Maruti cars. It also doubles up as a display for the reverse parking camera and it shows rear parking sensor's guidelines too. The interface of this infotainment system is user friendly and it also shows live traffic updates via the Smartplay Studio application. Some other features of the Ignis Zeta include alloy wheels, engine start/stop button, electrically folding ORVMs, steering-mounted audio controls, etc.
