Maruti Suzuki Ignis Zeta variant gets SmartPlay Studio system
Maruti Suzuki has upgraded the features list of the Ignis hatchback. The car was launched in its BS 6 avatar earlier this year and this is the first official update to the car ever since its introduction.
The Ignis Zeta trim has received Maruti's SmartPlay Studio system which replaces the 2-DIN audio system. The SmartPlay Studio system also comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. This system allows you to make calls, text, play music and navigate with just a touch of a button or voice. The screen doubles as a reverse camera display (on Alpha trim) and also displays rear parking sensor guidelines.
