Rumour: Maruti Ignis to get Nexa Blue colour option

Maruti is likely to introduce the Nexa Blue colour option on the Ignis. A spy image which has surfaced online, reveals the Ignis sporting the new shade of blue. The car in the spy image appears to be the Alpha variant, which comes with a chrome grille, projector headlights with U-shaped LED DRLs and black alloy wheels. 

The Maruti Ignis is currently available in 6 base colour options including 2 blue shades - Pearl Arctic White, Silky Silver, Uptown Red, Urban Blue and Tinsel Blue. Additionally, three dual-tone colour schemes are available on the Zeta and Alpha variants. According to a media report, the Nexa Blue shade will replace Urban Blue, which is available on select variants. The production of the Ignis in Urban Blue has reportedly been stopped.

The Ignis is powered by a 1.2-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine that produces 82 BHP @ 6,000 rpm and 113 Nm of torque @ 4,200 rpm. The car is also available with a 1.3-litre, 4-cylinder diesel engine that develops 74 BHP @ 4,000 rpm and 190 Nm @ 2,000 rpm. 5-speed manual and 5-speed AMT transmissions are available with both engines. 

It has also been reported that apart from the Ignis, Maruti will offer the Nexa Blue colour on the Baleno. The Urban Blue shade will be discontinued.
