2019 Maruti Suzuki Ignis' cabin will remain unchanged but will offer improved safety features

Visually, save for the addition of the roof rails, the rest of the car remains unchanged with no cosmetic additions whatsoever. In fact, the Ignis will continue to be offered in the existing list of single and dual tone colour options. The colour options include - Nexa Blue, Glistening Grey, Silky Silver, Pearl Arctic White, Tinsel Blue, and Uptown Red, along with dual tone options like - Tinsel Blue with Pearl Arctic White, Tinsel Blue with Midnight Black, and Uptown Red with Midnight Black. Similarly, the cabin too remains unchanged, however, we were expecting the updated model to get the company's new SmartPlay Studio infotainment system, but it continues to get the existing system.
