The Ignis is a sub 4-metre compact SUV, and will compete with Mahindra TUV3OO and Ford EcoSport in India. The Ignis will also gain tax advantage just like the competitors, and pricing will be key to the success of this compact SUV.

The Ignis, when launched in the Indian market, will be sold exclusively through NEXA dealerships.
