 and was always a decently priced option. The trim already comes with chrome accents on fog lamps, front grille, alloy wheels, rear defogger, rear wiper, engine start-stop, electrically folding ORVMs, four speakers and two tweeters. However, it misses LED projector lights and DRLs, puddle lamps, automatic climate control and a height-adjustable driver's seat. The price difference between the Zeta and Alpha trims is for 81,000 for the manual and for 75,000 for the AMT version.

The Maruti Suzuki Ignis BS6 is powered by a 1.2-liter
