Exteriors :
Ciaz RS or the Restless Spirit is bit too loud. This variant comes with body kit that includes front and rear bumper spoilers, side skirts and a trunk spoiler making it a sportier version of the regular Ciaz.
The first thing to catch your eyes are elegant multi-grille stripes in the front that is almost the same as shown during the concept model at the Auto Expo 2014. There are big headlamps on either side of the vehicle that features projector headlamps. The Ciaz also carries a lot of angled shapes on the bumper to add aggressive touch to the vehicle. The fog lamps are situated on either side of the front with round headlamps but big rectangular foglamp housing. The car bears an aerodynamic shape and looks very sporty from the side.
The top-variant of the Ciaz carries stylish spoke-type 16-inch alloy wheels which increases the sportiness of the vehicle by folds.
Now the RS version comes with a big spoiler on the trunk, which does seem overdone for a car like Ciaz but it does grow on you. Also, the under bumper spoiler in the RS version makes the car look very good. The split tail-lamps with chrome garnish on it keeps the rear busy and adds sporty touch to the overall elegant design.
Interior:
Now the all-black interior that you see here is only available with the RS version of the car. The other versions have a combination of beige and black. Ciaz has got all the bells and whistles required for a sedan from this segment. There is Apple CarPlay powered infotainment system that can project your iPhone screen to the car’s 7-inch display. Music can also be played from Bluetooth, USB and Aux-input. The system also has navigation feature and doubles up as a screen for rear camera.
Just below the infotainment system, the controls for AC is situated. The AC has its own independent display between the controls and shows the temperature, fan speed and the AC mode. The AC is very effective and the rear passengers also get a vent for better cooling.
The seats are also wrapped in black leather, and driver seat is manually adjustable for height, slope and space.
The steering is nice to hold and has buttons for controlling the infotainment system and Bluetooth phone.
The twin pot driver console has blue backlit and looks very good. The LCD screen projects outside temperature, odometer, trip metres and most importantly the gear you are in. The display also shows average fuel efficiency and instant fuel efficiency.
The Ciaz is one of the most spacious cars in the price segment and further there are a lot of places to keep your small items. There are two cupholders in the centre while there is an under arm-rest compartment too. All the doors have space for big bottles too. Also, the cabin is well sealed
The boot of the Ciaz is huge, it has a capacity of 510 litres and can take up the weekend luggage of a whole family with ease.
Maruti has also taken care of the safety of the vehicle very well. The car now comes with driver-side airbag throughout all the variants while ABS is standard across the range except the base variant. The top-variant also gets co-driver airbag.
Drive:
The Ciaz mild hybrid or the Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki is only available with the diesel engine for the time being. The 1.3-litre diesel engine churns out a maximum of 90 PS at 4,000 rpm along with 200 Nm of maximum torque that maximizes at a low engine speed of only 1,750 rpm. Ciaz was the first vehicle from Maruti to get the mild-hybrid system that also earned the car government incentives that lowered the price of the vehicle. The system can help the engine to start during start/stop traffic and also assists the engine during acceleration which increases the economy of the Ciaz. At a certified economy of 28.09 km to a litre, this is the most efficient car in the country and in real world conditions we have been getting over 180-0 kmpl for the past 3 months.
Ciaz is a family car - don’t expect it to excite enthusiasts. The suspensions is terrific for city road conditions and absorbs potholes with ease. Only problem with the RS version of the car is the ground clearance, it is very low and you will find the bumpers kissing mother earth quite often. Rear seat ride quality is also excellent and Ciaz can be a good choice for people who do like to sit in the rear and relax expect for the limited headroom.
The steering is not so sharp, but, it's light enough to drive around city with ease. It does weigh
up as the car gains speed and gives a lot of confidence to the driver during highway cruises. Taking U-turns can be a problem as the turning radius is not very good.The arm-rest cannot be adjusted but you get used to it. The shift quality of the 5-speed gearbox is best termed as average - it takes some effort slot it into gears especially into reverse. But the adjustable steering wheel and driver seat helps you to get the perfect driving position. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I seen a review where it was written the steering doesn't recenter after the turn ... is it true ?
Good video
Any suggestions on new vento
even the petrol ciaz is very good. I personally have driven at speed of 140 kmph with well balance. It gives confidence at higher speeds. After driving 2800kms ciaz petrol gives 14.1 kmpl of mileage at average. And it was driven so rough still it is very good. Value for money car.
why the reduced vat benefits of 5 % is still not implemented in the shvs cars in delhi yet?
why SHVS is not write on the back ??
@Car dekho :: do u have any idea if maruti is planning to copy some new features from brezza..esp cruise control.. that's much needed esp for pong drives.. wish they facelift it
Well there is no such update as of now. Stay tuned for information about it :)

There is no update about it as of now, stay tuned and we will update you.
The test car in the video has the specification of an ZDi+ but the rear badge says its an ZDi. Also the SHVS badge is missing
+Vipin ST : The test car is a media car while we feel had a paint / accidental job before it came to us. Hence the badges were missing :)
Great video!
Can anyone suggest me to go for Ciaz or Vitara Brezza? I know both are entirely different but I need to buy a car and Iam an ordinary consumer so have no specific need.Iam just lookin for looks and value for money aspect.
+faraz farooqui We would suggest you to contact us on our toll free number which is 1800-200-3000(Mon to Sat, 10AM to 7PM) so that we can map up your requirements and suggest you a car accordingly.
Hii ,i am buying delta. But they are giving me accessories like in alfa model like wooden interior,chrome handle so it is good model or should i go for zeta?
+Vaibhav Mehta Well, it is great that you are planning for Ciaz. Here, we believe that Zeta variant is a better value fo money as it offers extra features such as Smart Access Card Entry, Engine Start/Stop Button, Alloy Wheels and Rear Camera .
Well stated review! May I have a link on Maruti craze v/s Honda city?
Maruti Craze?
He wants to say CIAZ
What is the diff btw the zdi+ and zdi+ rs model??
Power is the difference, The RS also gets a rear spoiler and the power that RS generates is more than Zdi +
sir plz make video on car covers, i mean which cover should we use, should we cover it in rain and sunny outside etc. thx
+Surjit Paul Thank you for the suggestion. Lets see what best we can do for you.
This guy really nailed with this video. Really good Presentation and review. And on the note of ciaz, well its like a pocket rocket in my opinion. The way it accelrates from 2nd to 3rd was just plain beautiful. Only if i wasn't in love with eco sport , i would have seriously bought it.
Thank you mate :)
hey actually i am ready to go for ciaz but am comfused about the veriant which veriant is value for money among all of them from top end to the base like rs ,zdi zdi+ which is value for money what are the keep difference as i am interested in infotainment system what is the music quality etc need lot of suggestions please revert as soon as possible am in hurry
thanx
You should go for ZDi + is you wish to have the infotainment system in your Ciaz. Click here to see the comparison bit.ly/2eAmwQJ .
brother thank you
Ciaz or Brezza? Still not sure why the comparason hasnt yet been made. both around 10k. how to decide?
That's because they belong to different segments. One is an SUV and the other one is a Sedan.
+CarDekho both marutis, both top out around 10 lacs. And we are jumping segments with new cars. And please reply with decency.
I have a question. Is the infotainment system available in automatic transmission?
+GTAZodiac Yes. Click on the link to know more: bit.ly/292byAh
CarDekho Thank you guys😇
Ciaz or scross am very confused pls make a video on comparison between both of these cars.
Both cars belong to different segments and hence cannot be compared. Ciaz is a sedan and has got quite a lot of comfort features which include automatic transmission(Petrol), Rear AC vents , Smart Access card entry etc. S-cross has got immense power and torque as compared to Ciaz. It also has got cruise control which is not available in Ciaz. If you go off roads then you should go for S-cross and if you have to drive a lot then you should go for Ciaz.

trust ur reviews. now decided to buy this
That is more like a trophy for us, thank you Kashyap :)
Hi is this under powered for sedan compete to city
It is less powerful but does not feel that under powered.
please upload a video for baleno rs
It hasn't been launched yet, stay tuned and we will post a video as soon as we get our hands on it.
I'm planned to buy a Nexa Baleno. But because of delivery delay I thought about other options is that ciaz better than Baleno.or place help me to choose a car comes under 10 lack
Both of them belong to different segments and hence cannot be compared. Baleno locks horns with the likes of Hyundai i20 and Honda Jazz, you can go for those too. Ciaz on the other hand is a premium sedan which means you get a lot of space and a bucket full of comfort features but it would be a bit of a problem to manuever in traffic with it due to it length.
please review Baleno SHVS model, when Suzuki will launch in India ?
Baleno SHVS has not been launched yet and there is no update about it as of now, we will post a review as soon as we get our hands on it.
I have almost zeroed on to CIAZ, but confused whether to go for petrol or diesel. I am not a speed enthusiast but want to know if CIAZ will meet the long trip requirements even in hilly areas? can someone help me on that?
good review by cardekho.. no unnecessary boasting but practical review.
Thank you Vishal. Talking about the choice of fuel type, it depends on how much you drive, if you drive for more than 1500 kms in a month then you should go for Diesel otherwise petrol is a better option.
nice !!
best sedan
what should i buy. hyundai verna. maruti ciaz.
Verna is more powerful and Ciaz is more fuel efficient. You are getting features like Rear A/C Vents, Navigation System, Smart Access Card Entry, Engine Start/Stop Button, Voice Control and Fog Lights (Front) in the top end diesel variant of Ciaz. These features are not available in Verna if we compare a variant of the same price. If you go for the top end variant of Verna, it will be a great choice as it will have a lot to offer you with better power. But, if you are looking for something in 11-11.5 lakhs, Ciaz would be the best buy. Rest, a test drive is must to decide which one suits you.

very nice review.I think there will be no problem with ground clearance in RS version.what do you think?
+sunil phadtare : Ground Clearance is an issue with the RS version due to the body kit - you will have to be careful over speed breakers or ramps while going into, or exiting a parking.
thanks
is svhs same as micro hybrid found in mahindra vehicles
+Saurabh Chougule : no, lot of differences. The Maruti system stores energy during normal driving / braking and uses the motor to assist the engine during acceleration, thereby reducing load on the engine and hence in turn increasing fuel economy.
Good Car, need a bigger engine. Hope fully Maruti address this issue asap.
review is nice.
but maruti where's the safety no ncap rating?
Sir pls tell me which one is better, swift dzire or ciaz
+Rajesh Dangi Both the siblings have their own forte. Please share your needs/priorities so that we can help you to pick one.
One of the biggest advantages of having these cars over the completion is the access to Maruti’s unmatched after sales and service network.
Click on the link to compare both the cars via our comparison tool. Here's the link: bit.ly/2iZfmEY
missed features when compared to brezza. wish a facelifted ciaz is launched during Diwali.. 1. led drl. 2. cruise control 3. bigger fuel tank 50L, 3. cooled glove box, 4. voice command . with recent drop in prices due to lower tax for hybrid vehicles, maruti can add these features and retain the price without price reduction..
wish there was black interiors without RS body KIT..
how's Ciaz suspension
Ciaz's suspension is good, it is a sedan and the suspension compliments it perfectly well.
0:14 his name is bunny not bunnv
can we expect maruti suzuki to launch atleast 1.5 litre diesel engine for the ciaz upto june 2017?
Nothing of that sort has been communicated till now. stay tuned, we'll keep you posted.
rickshaw car
I heard that, diesel engine makes much noise for ciaz. Is that true?
There is nothing of that sort reported till now, the cabin is nice and silent.
Sir fantastic explanation with pros and cons, I've ciaz zxi this car gives very good ride quality but disappoints me in handling.
+ravi mirigilla Thank you for watching our video.

Many says ciaz has very poor suspension.. what you say..
Which should I buy ciaz or xuv
Both cars belong to different segments, Ciaz is a sedan that means it is good for long drives and will provide you with great comfort. XUV is a SUV and hence is good to go off roads. XUV has got massive power and less fuel efficiency but is nice to drive and has a lot of features to offer you. Ciaz on the other hand is fuel efficient and has got less power, it has got ample of space but it is not made to go off roads like the XUV.
If you want a car to drive in city and you do not go off roads, go for Ciaz and if you go off roads also you should go for XUV.
Hello sir which is better baleNo or ciaz?...Actually i booked baleno alpha petrol but waiting Period is more than 2monthz so i am thinking to cancel it...suggest me both sedan or hatchback..thank you
+sandeep k Hello. Consider the Ciaz only if you need the extra legroom and the added bootspace. If not, it's wiser to stick to the Baleno. If you cannot wait for that long - you can consider alternatives like the Hyundai Elite i20 or the Honda Jazz.
CarDekho thank you
sandeep k what car did you finally decided to go for? Hows it
I own it
Thts true that maruthi should give ciaz the 1.6 engine
Which is best Honda City or Ciaz ? As Ciaz is offering 90bhp, I think its not that under-powered.
It might feel a bit underpowered, Honda City is a great option if you are looking for something powerful and Verna is something even more powerful than both these cars.
For petrol Version which is the best buy?
Honda is known for its petrol engine and Maruti is known for low maintenance and mileage. both cars offer you descent amount of features and are great to drive. It is just that City has a more refined motor as compared to Ciaz and is great to drive.
yeah first one to comment
can i get it under tourist permit
Yes you can.
Thank you very much....
Can i know your height??
6 Ft.
hi
no matter what people say....an engine is the heart of a car....i seriously believe that this 1.3 ltre engine is way underpowered for the asking price and size of this car....i mean come on, its the same engine that is there on swift which costs half of this car...so they are just charging lakhs of extra rupees for the extra metal sheet and gadgets included here...
confused! honda city or ciaz..help
+Rishabh kumar Hi Rishabh! The Ciaz is a certainly a more value for money option. Variant per variant, the Ciaz is cheaper than the City and the after sales experience of Maruti is better too. However, the City is more powerful and the over package in terms of materials, fit & finish is upmarket. If you can live with the lower power go for the Ciaz but if you are ready to invest a little more money, the City is fun to drive.
go for Honda city
atleast kuch to safety hai usme
Go for ciaz if diesel
And city if petrol
I booked ciaz diesel rs model
+Rishabh kumar Honda City bro. No contest.
thank you guys
I found Every thing is ok, except engine power..
Lights in these car are of no use at night no matter what light u put in except hids
So if that's gonna bother u don't go for it
Ps ciaz owner
:(

vivanjo vijayan oh well u should try drving in the night
