LeoRahi Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Looks good. The front end is something new, rear looks to be copied from the Honda City. Price this competitively to the New City and this is gonna be a sure hit. Beware Honda City ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sachins Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Maruti needs to undercut Honda City and Hyundai Verna in pricing to stand any chance of success. C2 segment is entirely different from hatchbacks and CS and Maruti knows this. They are already at a starting disadvantage w.r.t to engine (be it Petrol/Diesel) and City is selling like hot cakes with more than 7k+ units/month.

dr_nishu Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) Based on the strong information that Maruti Suzuki S-cross crossover is likely to come up with Peugeot sourced DV6 1.6 litre HDi Diesel engine, this fact can't be ruled that New Ciaz sedan can also come up with same 1.6litre Diesel engine shared with S-cross crossover also. Reason being Fiat sourced 1.3 litre Multijet(DDiS in Maruti Suzuki terminology) Diesel even 90PS VGT avatar seems to be too small to lug 4.5m+ sedan which even can get more worse when loaded with passengers & their luggage, whereas customers in this segment are more power hungry as competition already offers it in abundance. So to fight on competition & to make product standout in performance one can't rule out its feasibility in Ciaz. On the positive note it can give economies of scale in terms of spare parts cost if it gets implemented in more than one car even if available as CBU or CKD unit. BTW, There was also a news that Ciaz sedan is 20kgs lighter than previous SX4 sedan. So, 1.3 DDiS 90PS engine implementation this car can't be ruled out altogether as Maruti Suzuki might have worked on this driveability also for this car. As per source (Indianautosblog.com) trial production for Ciaz sedan has already been commenced at Maruti Suzuki Manesar plant. Lets wait for the final words from spy guys or we need to wait till official confirmation for this.

Sandy Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 The Maruti Suzuki Ciazwill be launched in Septemebr. The Maruti Suzuki Ciaz has been spotted numerous times being tested around Maruti’s Gurgaon facilityThe car which was previewed as a concept at the Auto Expo in Delhi, earlier this year, looks aggressively stylish with those double-barrel headlamps which sweep upwards, large chrome grille in the centre and wide, sporty bumpers at both ends, however, the rear tail-lamps are dangerously similar to those on the new Honda City. The car is wider than the outgoing SX4 and promises excellent back-seat comfort. Other features on the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz will include : Push-Button Start Rear AC Vent Driver Seat with height adjustment Dead Pedal Leather upholstery 16 inch tyres The Maruti Suzuki Ciaz will be powered by both diesel and petrol powerplant options and both should be available at launch. The petrol will be the 1.4 Liter K-Series engine from the Ertiga which makes 95 ps of power and 130 Nm of torque. The diesel option will be the same old 1.3 Liter DDiS motor which will be tuned for 90 ps and 200 Nm of torque. The Maruti Suzuki Ciaz will be priced in the range of INR 7.5-10.5 lakhs. Bookings should commence in early August.(Source: Zigwheels) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tejasmehta990 Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Just one word about this car ..... superb!!!!!......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sachins Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Sorry but I find WoW factor missing in the design. I mean it looks Ok, may be good (rear same as City), but nothing which overshadows current C2 sedans (City/Verna). C pillar and window line looks almost similar to current Sx4. But again Maruti will play their price card well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tejasmehta990 Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Design wise Ciaz looks very proportionate and have very aggressive stance which make Ciaz's profile very appropriate even for enthusiasts looking for doing some exterior design modifications. Even by adding just spoiler and alloys it will look fab. As against the price card Maruti's reliability factor and acceptability among large base of consumers is rocksolid and after success of Ertiga it looks like people will accept Ciaz as a premium offering from Maruti.

Prashantroxx Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 I had very high expectations from this. The concept looked like a car from some other universe but it looks just average. Rear is just like new city. The front looks good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librankur Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Perceptions could change once we see this one in flesh. The BMW like tail light design from the concept stage have to been reduced to City like tail lights , thats a real turnoff. Otherwise , a product that could be Marutis Cash Cow for once in this slightly premium sedan segment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuntal Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 From the pics it seems like it has a front of the Ertiga and rear borrowed from the new city. Not really winning any trophies for design innovation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jithesh Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 The design is very safe and doesn't offend anyone, if not excite everyone. It is sure to cater to a wide audience. The looks are elegant and the car looks spacious. Maruti should do some careful marketing and be aware that its cars are not seen as status symbols, and not get over-excited with the pricing. I think this should do well if priced in the region of 8-10 lacs. The SX4 sedan was a great car, but amazingly didn't do well as Maruti would have liked it to. This was in spite of it being loaded with features and having decent performance/economy. Hopefully Maruti has done their home work well on this one, and give us a good deal with specification and variants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sachins Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Only way Maruti can make this car a big success against stiff competition is by loading it with features and under cutting others in price. They are already at a disadvantage when it comes to engines (petrol/diesel both). BTW, the more I see it's front grill, more I get reminded of previous gen Hyundai Verna.

bhavneet Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Ok so maruti borrowed the front design from verna and the rear from Civic/city! But who cares , in Maruti loving India , this will be a hit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monoclonal Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Will Maruti will able to keep it budget car meaning around indian rupee hundred thousands (lac) less than Honda with Basic safety features like Honda's base version (E model). If the Answer is YES, Maruti Suzuki India is the game changer one more time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cify154 Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 The chinese edition looks better than the indian edition. Will maruti give components speakers amp touch screen system reverse cam with parking sensors? The indian edition looks dull . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britto Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 OMG I Loved this !! hope indian model also gets beefed up like this one :) Definitely a city/ verna killer if priced properly !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
