Unless a government clears an ordinance banning sale of maruti cars, gobbled up is not going to happen anytime soon. Coming back to the car, the facelift has made the car droolworthy. Was following one on my way back from office, man the tail lights look amazing. 2 star safety or not, Maruti has worked some hours to put up some striking tail lamp combinations lately with optimum use of LED elements. I would have definitely put the facelifted Ciaz at the top of my list if i was looking for a full sized sedan today. This will make an ideal ride for folks with a sedate driving style. But I would have also done a point by point tear down comparison with the Verna. | |

| ![]() I'd say Maruti should try mating the 1.0 boosterjet and sell a limited edition Ciaz with 6 airbags, sporty suspension and the body kit. I'm sure the market has evolved enough. If people are willing to buy the expensive Polo TSI, they's buy a sporty Ciaz too. Quote:

Senior - BHPian | ![]() Nice throw from the LED headlights, Finally a car with great stock headlights. Can these LED bulbs be retrofitted in other cars with projectors ? |

Team-BHP Support ![]() | ![]() Don't know about Suzuki, but Maruti will almost certainly become a subsidiary of Toyota. At least that's my prediction. Can certainly be fitted on the old Ciaz! Thanks to BHPian PraNeel for originally sharing this video: |

| ![]() Nice Review! Seriously not a single auto portal/ forum covers official reviews like Team-BHP does!! Coming back to the car, it’s certainly not for enthusiasts but then we form a minuscule percentage and rest of the junta will certainly love the car due to the bling factor! Not sure what is stopping Maruti from plonking the 1.0L boosterjet into Ciaz and get a alpha + /RS model with sunroof and other nice things!! |

| ![]() It is not that Suzuki is incapable of producing good bigger engines. The M16A from the previous Swift Sport was apparently an awesome rev-happy engine - Peak Power @ 6900 RPM and rev limit of 7200 RPM. (It's sad that they replaced that engine with a 1.4 turbo). The 1.4 and 1.5 they use here in Ertiga/Ciaz don't seem to use sophisticated components in order to keep the costs low and in a way it makes sense too as most average Indian drivers never bother revving beyond 3500 RPM anyway (I know many owners of City i-Vtec who have never experienced that Vtec kicked in yo moment). For an enthusiast though, it'd be a disappointment. This car has absolutely nothing to offer for those who love enthusiastic driving as has been mentioned in the review.

| ![]() With new 1.5-litre K15 petrol engine under the hood, SHVS system on a petrol engine for the first time, bold front fascia with re-designed headlamp cluster with LED projector lamps, Cruise control and other features, there were enough reasons to take a test drive of the new facelifted Ciaz. Somehow, there ended the excitement. Step inside the cabin, there isn't much difference from the outgoing one apart from a few inserts and Baleno-like MID. Hit the throttle, the new 1.5-litre engine is never the one for spirited driving, somehow lacks urgency. And as mentioned in the review, Maruti surely missed a trick to grab a bigger share of pie in C2 segment by not including 6 airbags, at least on the top variant, and other premium features. All in all, aggressive pricing, good fuel efficiency and comfortable ride quality, this car still strikes a chord in the mass market. |

| ![]() Thanks, Aditya & ChiragM for the detailed review. Quote:
Yesterday, I visited NEXA for some minor issues in my MS Brezza. NEXA, Anand delivered 19 New Ciaz on the first day of Navratri. I talked to some of the customers. As per them, space and comfort were the major reasons to go for Ciaz. A perfect Family sedan under 11 big ones with Maruti badge. Last edited by SJM1214 : 11th October 2018 at 12:23.

| ![]() Again a missed opportunity by Maruti to make this a complete product and take the competition head-on. While it surely leads on the comfort and space side, it was always about missing adequate power and safety (Airbags). Both these have not been addressed in this facelift. Not sure why has Maruti not yet warmed up to the idea of having 6 airbags, none of their cars have that option. And, honestly I didn't quite like the new front of Ciaz, it looks pressed from the top. The earlier front looked really good. Still feel Verna is the best all-round package in this segment. |

![]() Is this the normal/ideal place to keep the battery where it is placed currently? Could Maruti not have placed it in that class leading boot that they have ? That apart I think this car is one of the most "Value for Money" cars in the country right now. Hope they also bring in the new Suzuki BS VI Diesel engine soon and mate it with a autobox... | |

The new calculation is based on the fixed % of GST (28%) + the additional cess on different segments of cars and they are defined as below: - Base GST : 28% - < 4m passenger vehicles (petrol, CNG, Ethanol, Methanol) - 1% - < 4m passenger vehicles (diesel, Ethanol, Methanol) - 3% - > 4m midsize Sedans (petrol, diesel, CNG, Ethanol, Methanol, Hybrid) - 17% - > 4m Luxury Sedans (petrol, diesel, CNG, Ethanol, Methanol, Hybrid) - 20% - > 4m SUVs (petrol, diesel, CNG, Ethanol, Methanol, Hybrid) - 22% So, now Verna doesn't lose out on the taxes part since all the C2 Sedans fall under the tax bracket of 45% (28% + 17%), however it loses big time in the third party insurance premium where the engines with size greater than 1.5L attracts more premium. The cost of third-party cover is decided by the IRDA and is revised each year. The current figures are as follows: ![]() | |||

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() | ![]() The new Ciaz looks quite smart in person. Especially the Alpha with all its LED shenanigans. Quote:
