In fact, from what I have read, the CVT is more drivable than the MT because the continuously varying transmission actually overcomes the low torque by keeping the engine at a better RPM. Our official review and some ownership reviews confirm this. I'll be taking a test drive of the CVT this weekend. Fingers crossed though, last time they didn't have the car when I went there. |

| ![]() If you have a sedate style of driving, then you will appreciate the convenience it provides in city traffic. Added bonus is that you can extract insane mileage when driven sedately. Besides CVT is known for its reliability. You do not have to worry about say like the dual clutch technology. Last edited by arunramaswamy : 21st July 2017 at 17:52. |

I am sorry for the delayed reply. I have got a Jazz V CVT from Oct 2015. Since, Sep 2016, it is with my wife. (I got a Scorpio S10 AT ![]() Driven properly, it can give a very high FE. If you spend significant time in 'zero' speed, you are burning petrol without travelling!! You are getting zero FE for that time. The highest I have got is 24.1 kmpl over 115 km on the indicator. I have found this to be about 0.5 kmpl more than actual tank-to-tank method. So the car is capable! I have seen a lot of feedback on low FE and low pickup. I have not faced either of these issues. My wife is extremely happy with Jazz. In traffic conditions, the CVT is a boon! Feel free to contact me for more details. Regards, Girish Mahajan | |

-much better initial pick up, jazz feels lethargic in comparison -better FE, Autocar and users too say so -model for model, Delta Automatic is much cheaper and better equipped than the barebones S Automatic of the jazz, zeta is better than the V and alpha in a league of its own, with pricing close to the V model, discounts notwithstanding. -paddle shifts are a major advantage of the jazz but available only in V -much better resale of the baleno due to its blockbuster status versus a mild response for the jazz -maruti coming up with nexa exclusive service centers for a more exclusive experience -5k service interval for the jazz -much better MID on the baleno -better looks (subjective) In case of ciaz, you'll be able to reach maximum delta level, which is short of equipment plus a 4 speed automatic that feels very old school and doesn't offer much more in terms of performance over the baleno and poor FE too.

Had I been in your place, would have gone in for the alpha, excellent levels of equipment for the price Also, I went in for the Delta Automatic solely because of immediate availability in my color of choice, otherwise I was going in for the zeta Automatic Test drove the ciaz Automatic extensively too, in case you want some inputs, might as well PM me I also own a polo GT Tsi, so will be able to tell you better. Just one word on that car though, if you can extend your budget, please go for it.Best Indian automatic hatch below 10 Lacs ex showroom currently, period. | |

Also suggest you to test drive these cars on the same day, may be couple of test drives, so that you have no doubts on the type of car you want, depending on how it behaves, looks and feels. I haven't driven any Maruti Suzuki CVT's yet. Note that the Baleno CVT is a lighter car than Jazz, so presumably it would have better pickup and mileage and as already mentioned is the better loaded with features. To throw in some spec differences, the Jazz has a bigger fuel tank at 40l and bigger boot space, not to forget the 7 speed(virtual) paddle shifters which you can use to enjoy some sporty ride. ![]() Also head to euroncap site to read about the various aspects in which both cars were tested and how they fared. I know it does not give the right picture about the car in sale in India but read on to come to your own conclusions. | |

I was of the same impression earlier, but I went through the official Ciaz thread and it seems that the Ciaz automatic owners are pretty pleased with it. Although no body boasts about the performance, almost all are happy with the ride quality and smooth gear shifts. |
