A dealer in Chennai stated, “The diesel version of the Ignis costs close to 8 lakhs and that’s a lot of money for a small diesel car. Hence, more customers are opting for the petrol variant as it has all the features.”

The Ignis was launched in January 2017 and since then has been selling at an average of 4000 units ever since its launch. The sales have dipped lately because of new-gen cars like the Swift and Dzire launching in quick succession as also companies like Ford bringing in a new wave of vehicles like the Freestyle which taps the same customer as the Ignis.
