 In terms of design, the Ignis 2020 does not come with major changes over its predecessor. It features a novel grille and revamped front and rear bumpers with silver accents. While the Ignis is small, it is taller than the Swift and provides adequate headroom for taller passengers. <div type="image" title="Maruti Suzuki Swift" msid="74192161" hostid="261"></div>

 On the other hand, the Swift has a muscular design with an aggressive grille. Thanks to its increased width and wheelbase, the car has ample space, especially at the back. The car comes with a floating roof design and blacked out pillars.

Maruti Suzuki Ignis 2020 vs Maruti Suzuki Swift: Which Maruti Suzuki car is best for you?

Many SUVs were launched in 2016, which took the competition to a different level, and to deal with the present market and tough competition, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Mahindra+%26+Mahindra+&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Mahindra &amp; Mahindra </a>is looking forward to make two of its popular vehicles more appealing to the buyers. 
 
As competition is set to intensify further in the SUV space with rivals <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Maruti+Suzuki&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Maruti Suzuki</a> and <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Tata+Motors&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Tata Motors</a> launching new models, M&amp;M has readied new variants of the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=XUV+500&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">XUV 500</a> and KUV 100 to hold on to its share in the segment that is growing fast and where it has been upstaged by Maruti in some months of 2016 on the back of strong demand for the Vitara Breeza. The Ignis from Maruti and the Tata Hexa are set to pose fresh threat to the company. 
 
Aesthetics and features will see a change and there will be no major price increase. 
 
The company is adding a host of connectivity technologies to make the XUV more feature-packed. The new EcoSense telematics feature will allow real-time tracking of the vehicle, including fuel economy and wear and tear of parts. Mood lighting is another addition on offer. 
 
The company has also added a safety button in the XUV, which will be triggered in the event of any accident and call the stored emergency contact number. It will offer this feature to existing XUV owners as well, through a small software upgrade. 
 The company will also launch new KUV variant with dual colours for the first time to keep itself competitive against the <keyword id="3202760" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Maruti-Ignis">Maruti Ignis</keyword> in few weeks.

Mahindra is going to make its SUVs swankier and more appealing

In order to maintain the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Marutis-sales-rose-16-in-March-making-it-a-good-way-to-end-FY-15-16/articleshow/51648291.cms" target="_BLANK￿￿￿￿">double-digit growth rate</a> that it had in the last fiscal, India's largest car maker <keyword id="44883" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Maruti-Suzuki">Maruti Suzuki</keyword> has decided to add one new car and a new variant of an existing model to its portfolio. Both the cars will be retailed only through Nexa, its premium dealership network. 
 
The New Delhi headquartered company will be rolling out a compact vehicle, christened as Ignis, while also launching a version of the Baleno compact which would be sold as RS variant. 
 
"We plan to drive in these two cars around the festive season," said Maruti Suzuki director (marketing and sales) R S Kalsi. As of now, the Nexa stores sell the S-Cross crossover and Baleno, because they are positioned as more upmarket and premium. 
 
The new compact car Ignis will be pitched to customers as a smart city car. Even though Nexa stores don’t have the variety of small cars, the company hopes to widen the choice at Nexa outlets with Ignis. Ignis was showcased at the auto expo at Greater Noida at the beginning of this year, describing it as a "smart compact urban vehicle". 
 
Baleno’s RS variant will come with a 1-litre direct injection, turbo-charged petrol engine, which would be more fuel-efficient, smaller in size and able to deliver a power output higher to the existing 1.2-litre petrol variant. It will carry a bold and aggressive design language, so that it can be pitched as a sportier variant. 
 
Baleno, which has been named after an earlier model from the company, has seen a sale of around 45,000 units. On the other hand, another new car from Maruti, Vitara Brezza, has seen over 38,000 bookings so far.
