Overview
- Multiple outlets citing dealer inputs report that Ignis production has stopped, new bookings have paused, and only limited stock remains even though Maruti has not confirmed it and the model is still on the website.
- Ignis is a small, Nexa-sold urban crossover launched in 2017 and best known for its 1.2-litre petrol engine with manual or AMT gearbox options.
- Sales peaked in 2022 at about 51,176 units and have since trended down, with recent monthly dispatches below 2,000 and 1,250 units recorded in March 2026.
- The car saw few updates over nine years, kept two airbags while many rivals moved to six, and never offered a factory CNG option, which dulled its value pitch in a cost-focused segment.
- Industry reports say a sub-4-metre SUV codenamed Y43 is being developed to target the Tata Punch and Hyundai Exter, aligning with Maruti’s focus on higher-volume SUV segments after record FY2025–26 sales.
