Exclusive: Maruti Suzuki Ignis Facelift Has Bagged Over 5000 Bookings So Far

Maruti Suzuki, the country's largest manufacturer, told carandbike that it has bagged over 5000 bookings for the Ignis facelift, which went on sale in India just about a month before the lockdown was announced. Talking about the response for the Ignis facelift, on the latest episode of Freewheeling With SVP, Shashank Srivastava, Executive Director - Marketing & Sales, Maruti Suzuki India said, "The Ignis has done well. Much better than the previous version, I think we have around 5000 to 6000 bookings already."

Srivastava further added, "People said it has to be a more SUV-ish type of vehicle, and it has to have more of a different character added to it. So, our marketing campaign does reflect that. We are pushing it, of course, as we push all models, but Ignis I believe has a very big potential. Because, some people say that it was probably ahead of what the Indian consumer wanted, but I think the market is maturing. The Ignis is doing remarkably well in some of the other parts of the world."
