Rumour: Maruti Ciaz RS discontinued

Thank you to BHPian LeoShashi for sharing this information with other enthusiasts!

Maruti Suzuki appears to have discontinued the Ciaz RS from sale in India. The variant isn't mentioned in the updated price list and brochure of the Ciaz carline.

The Ciaz RS was launched in October 2015. It was a cosmetically tweaked version of the regular model. Key changes made on the RS included a body kit and all black interiors. It was based on the Z+ trim and came with features like SmartPlay infotainment system, dual airbags and ABS. No mechanical changes were made to the car, as it was offered with the same 1.3-litre diesel and 1.4-litre petrol engines.

The Ciaz was recently spotted with NEXA-like badges on its boot lid. This has indicated that Maruti will soon be shifting the car from its regular dealerships to the NEXA chain. There is also a facelift in the offing, which might make all black interiors standard across the Ciaz range.
