The Ignis Is What We Need. Thank You, Maruti.

The New Order

The Ignis is a bold move by Maruti Suzuki. It’s a slap in the face to the critics who lambast cars for being too safe and characterless. For a population that begs to have cars that stand out and have a personality, we usually find some way to critique that, too, citing that the carmaker has gone ‘overboard’ in its attempt to please, but I believe that Maruti Suzuki has gotten it right this time. How so? Read on.

THE INS AND OUTS 

I do believe that people will be wary of the Ignis’ looks. At no point does it feel like Maruti’s taken the safe way out, and its hope of appealing to the younger ones will work. It’s not something you’ll fall in love with instantly (even though I did), but it does have that something extra that makes it a Maruti unlike any other. And it all shows. The way the LED head lamps are shaped, that neat grille, the tiny silhouette, the claw marks on the side, the black alloys — it all works. That is, until you saunter over to the back. Er, this could have been handled with a bit more precision, honestly. It’s not ugly, mind, but there’s a certain sense of ‘Who smacked the rear with a frying pan?’ that consumes you the moment you see it.
