Maruti Ciaz launched on October 6
Maruti launched the Ciaz sedan on October 6, 2014, after the car has been showcased at the Paris motor show.
Bookings for the new car had opened up from September 3 for an amount of Rs 21,000. There is currently a two-month waiting period on the Maruti Ciaz, regardless of the variant booked.
The Maruti Ciaz sedan will have two engines on offer; a 1.4-litre K10B petrol unit that makes 91bhp and a 1.3-litre Fiat-sourced diesel unit that makes 89bhp. Both engines do duty in several other of the carmaker’s models. Maruti claims an ARAI-certified 20.73kpl fuel efficiency for the petrol model and 26.2kpl for the diesel.
The new Maruti will be available in four trim levels V, V+, Z and Z+ and seven colour shades. The range-topping trims will have features like 16-inch alloys, touchscreen infotainment system, rear air-con vents, climate control and keyless entry.
The new Maruti Ciaz sedan will rival the likes of the Honda City, VW Vento, Skoda Rapid and Hyundai Verna.
