The tall boy hatchback is off to a great start as the bookings crossing 10,000 mark already and one of major reasons is that it remains a niche product compared to its other siblings.

Despite quirky rear design and premium pricing, Ignis offers variety of features and dual tone color options which surely going to attract youngsters.
