The new DDiS 225 variant on the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz is the brand new diesel that has been developed in-house. The 1.5-litre 4-cylinder diesel engine is BS6 ready and will eventually replace the Fiat sourced 1.3-litre Multijet engine. We test the new engine, by taking the updated Ciaz diesel out for a spin.
The new Maruti Suzuki Facelift gets a bunch of updates to the looks along with a new 1.5-litre petrol engine as well. We spend some time with the new Ciaz and here's what we think.
Very seldom does Maruti Suzuki want to put the past behind, given it's overall leadership position in the Indian market. However, the compact sedan segment has proved to be a tough nut to crack for Maruti - the initial response to the SX4 was great, which then flagged off when the DZire arrived.
With only few days left for the official launch of the new mid-sized sedan from MSI, the Ciaz, more details have surfaced about the vehicle. Expected to be rolled out in both petrol and diesel variants, the Ciaz range will include four petrol and four diesel variants each.
Maruti Suzuki India has finally unveiled the all new Ciaz Sedan in India today at the 2014 Auto Expo. This car will replace the SX4 in the country.

I am using ciaz 1.5 model 2019.. I have driven about 30,000 km, within this kms I change my brake pad and the rotor for three times. The company itself says manufacturing defect.. for Ciaz i am getting only the lifespan of 10,000 kms in braking system, meanwhile I am using xylo, innova, brezza,swift.. they don't have such problems.. they are getting more than 40,000 kms.. the ciaz on road price is 13 lakh.. worthless for this amount.. can't afford low quality product.. it's a black mark maruthi.. not at all satisfied with ciaz.. so please don't buy by this car..

In this Price it's a great sedan, much more better than other cars in this price segment, ciaz is very fuel efficient car, but when there is lack of power in engine while driving in first gear after 2000 Rpm the car engine shows its power, while during AC is on the engine might upset you..

Recently we bought a Ciaz and in 20 days we faced a situation that lead us to have a bad experience with the dealers Nexa.
My brother was driving the car and there was some traffic. He was trying to overtake a bus and noticed a tractor in front of him. Since the tractor started to move he had to take a sudden right when he heard a loud noise after which he couldn't control the wheels which resulted him touching the tire of the tractor. The service people came and performed their investigation from their so called investigation team from Maruthi they gave us "good will warranty" really meaning "manufacturing defect" for the affected parts the tierod and the alloy wheel. After a day when they were fixing they found damage in few more parts and forced us to claim insurance when it is actually a manufacturing defect. We are really helpless here. Has anyone faced a similar situation with Ciaz or Nexa service?we really don't know whom to go for help in this case. If you have any suggestions please advise.

I had decided to get rid of my old Hyundai accent and buy a new car, I had set my mind on the Hyundai i20 active, however i saw this car by accident in a storage lot adjacent to the showroom.
I immediately fell in love with the looks.
It was slightly out of my budget, but i can assure you it has been worth it.
Its been 2 years now and the car runs great.
The mileage really depends on you, if you treat it nice it will give you the best performance.
Maintenance is low, except on the major service where you can easily expect a bill of approx 12k - 15k.
Best car within the 10 lacs budget!!
P.S. i have personally clocked over 195 kmph, (Dont try this at home, only at the Yamuna Expressway)

It’s a fabulous car to own if your budget is around 10L. Very stylish, a shape which will not go out of fashion anytime soon. Inside it’s extremely roomy and the interiors give a very chic appearance. A reasonably good quality material has been used by the company. Driving the Ciaz around is rather a stress less experience all thanks to a powerful ac and a noiseless cabin. It goes over the bumps with great ease and ensues great confidence in manoeuvrability of the vehicle. Power steering is responsive and agile. Infotainment system top of its class. To top it up the Nexa dealerships make you feel like king when you purchase the vehicle.
The Maruti Suzuki Ciaz has been around for sometime, and has certainly shown signs of ageing. That, however, has not necessarily affected its sale-ability, as it continues compete neck-to-neck against the some of the newer offerings in the segment. However, the Ciaz has gotten longer in the tooth and the automaker is readying the facelifted version that will be going on sale later this year. The 2018 Maruti Suzuki Ciaz facelift was spotted testing recently, and builds our hopes on what to expect from the popular selling compact sedan.
Currently sold through the regular Maruti Suzuki dealership network, the company will soon start using the Nexa-like badging on the Ciaz. Ahead of the official dealer network changeover, the variant line-up of the Nexa-based Ciaz has been leaked.
Since its launch in 2014, Maruti Suzuki India has sold over 1.7 lakh units of the Ciaz sedan in India. Despite heavy competition from the likes of the updated 2017 Honda City, the carmaker has been consistently selling an average of almost 5,500 units a month.
