Ignis Zeta AMT సమీక్ష

The automatic or AMT version of the Maruti Suzuki Ignis' 1.2-litre petrol engine is available in two trim levels - Delta and Zeta - which are the two mid variants, out of the four, of the crossover-like hatchback. The Maruti Suzuki Ignis 1.2 Zeta petrol AMT, which is the top-spec petrol automatic version, is priced at Rs 6.30 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi, as of April 5, 2017).

In terms of features, the Maruti Ignis Zeta petrol automatic carries over the goodies of the Delta trim and comes with a few additional ones from the top-spec, manual-only, Alpha trim. It gets chrome surround for the grille, which is not present in the two base trims. The double-din Bluetooth enabled audio system is carried over from the Delta, but it gets four-speakers instead of two, along with twin tweeters. Further, there is a passive keyless entry with engine push-button start-stop, along with electrically foldable and adjustable outside rearview mirrors, among others. The Zeta automatic trim rides on 15-inch black alloy wheels with 175/65 cross-section tyres.

As far as safety is concerned, all variants of Nexa's entry-level model, including the Ignis Zeta petrol automatic, come with dual-front airbags (driver and front passenger) along with ABS (anti-lock braking system) and EBD (electronic brake-force distribution). Further, the Ignis also comes with child seat anchors and seat belts with pre-tensioners as standard. The Zeta additionally offers a rear washer and wiper along with a defogger. It has rear parking sensors as well.

The 1.2-litre K-series motor in the Ignis' petrol automatic versions is one of the most common engines in Maruti's lineup, like the Fiat-sourced 1.3-litre DDiS diesel motor. The 1,197cc, four-cylinder petrol puts out 83PS of max power and 113Nm of peak torque and is mated to a 5-speed AMT (automated manual transmission) in the Maruti Suzuki Ignis 1.2 Zeta automatic. The ARAI-certified fuel efficiency of the Maruti Ignis Zeta AMT automatic is 20.89kmpl, which is identical to its 5-speed manual counterpart.

The Maruti Suzuki Ignis Zeta petrol AMT automatic goes up largely against the Hyundai Grand i10 1.2 Kappa Dual VTVT automatic, Honda Brio AT, along with the Nissan Micra CVT, among others.
