Details

Maruti Suzuki introduced the updated version of the Ciaz in 2018. This is the first comprehensive update for the vehicle since its debut in the country. The updates on the Ciaz are limited to cosmetic and feature updates. As compared to its predecessor, the length of the current model is reduced by 15mm to 4,490mm, while the height, width and wheelbase remain unchanged.

Engine

Under the hood, the Ciaz is powered by the 1.5-litre petrol engine with a Smart Hybrid technology that generates 103bhp at 6,000rpm and 138Nm at 4,400rpm. This engine can be had with either five-speed manual or four-speed automatic torque converter option.  The older 1.4-litre K Series engine generated 91bhp and 130Nm of torque.

Exterior

Visually, the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz now gets a sleek grille and a chrome strip on the top flanked by the redesigned headlamps. The front bumper has a subtle update with circular fog lamps and a faux brushed metal finish surround that complement the projector headlamp unit with horizontal LED DRLs. The rear section looks fresh due to a revised bumper and taillights with a new lighting signature. The overall look is complete with a fresh set of alloy wheels.

Interior

Most of the elements in the current model have been carried forward from its predecessor. However, it now gets birch blonde wood finish with satin chrome accents and a new 4.2 inch TFT Multi-Information Display (MID) for freshness. The updated model also offers rear AC vents as standard along with other features like chrome garnish (steering wheel, inside door handles, AC louvres knob, and parking brake lever), keyless entry, cruise control, electrically adjustable ORVMs, front centre armrest with a utility box, and a rear centre armrest with cup holders. The vehicle also gets an additional set of safety features such as dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, seatbelt reminder for driver, and passenger along with the speed alert system.
