Rs 6 lakh Maruti Punch rival – what to expect?
Maruti has been constantly modernizing its fleet. The S-Presso received a stealth upgrade from the brand today. It now has a revised 1.0-liter K10C engine with several new features and great fuel efficiency. The Maruti Ignis is another vehicle that is anticipated to receive an upgrade in the near future. With a generational shift, the Ignis will receive a significant overhaul. Why? It's anticipated that the Maruti Ignis of the future would compete directly with the Tata Punch. What would this Maruti Punch competitor for Rs. 6 lakh thus offer? all that is written here.
Design
The Maruti Ignis is referred to by the brand as an "Urban SUV," which is supported by its high ground clearance and SUV-like appearance. To compete with the Tata Punch, the Ignis would require more meat, though. The ground clearance should rise, as anticipated. Its road presence is predicted to be improved by more muscular body fenders. Improved overall dimensions are also anticipated.
Specifications – Next-generation Maruti Ignis
The brand's upgraded 1.2-liter DualJet engine may power the new-generation Maruti Ignis. This engine produces 113Nm of torque and 88bhp. With these features, the Ignis might defeat the Punch with ease. For comparison, the Tata Punch's 1.2-liter Revotron petrol engine produces 86 horsepower and 113 Nm of torque. As was already said, Maruti might enlarge the Ignis to make it more aggressive. Most of the time, this engine will be mated to an AMT or manual gearbox.
Features: Next-generation Maruti Ignis
Features today are crucial. In the current day, they may make or ruin a product. Maruti lagged behind in this area for a long time, but it has now made up for it and is now introducing cars with a variety of cutting-edge technologies. We anticipate that the next-generation Ignis will incorporate several Baleno-specific capabilities. Some of these may include a large touchscreen infotainment system, HUD, and better-linked automobile technology. Maruti may provide a 360-degree camera. Unlikely, Maruti still has a chance to get a six if it chooses to provide this.
Pricing & Release
With the exception of the new-generation Ignis, Maruti will be finishing off some significant releases this year. By 2023 or 2024, we anticipate the release of this improved product. As far as pricing is concerned, it could start from somewhere around Rs 6 lakh (ex-showroom).
