New Maruti Suzuki Ciaz coming soon?
We first saw this car in September 2014, it’s been more than six years and now everyone is eagerly waiting for its next generation. Maruti is India’s biggest carmaker has been selling Ciaz since 2014 and so far we have just seen some cosmetic changes and facelifts. In this article, we discuss the next-generation Maruti Suzuki Ciaz and our expectations for this car.
Maruti Suzuki Ciaz Design
Maruti will bring in some changes in the design and looks of the new generation Ciaz. The front fascia of the car will now get a bigger and airy grille. There will be all-new projector LED headlamps and integrated indicators and DRL. The lower end of the bumper will get newly designed fog lamp housing. The side profile of the will continue to carry the same existing design. The rear will get a set of newly designed tail lamps and indicators. The interior could get an all dark or all-black color as the beige interior gets dirty too quickly.
Maruti Suzuki Ciaz Features
The current generation of Ciaz has a touch screen infotainment system that comes with lag and slow responsiveness. This will be one thing that Maruti will definitely replace in the new generation Ciaz. The Ciaz also gets a fresh flat-bottom steering wheel similar to one we have seen in the Honda City. The steering mounted controls will now also have a button to access information on the MID.
Maruti might also offer a fully digital instrument cluster along with features like the tyre pressure monitoring system. Maruti will also try to add in some more features in the S Connect it offers. Some modern features like hill hold and hill descent control are also expected to be added in the new generation Ciaz.
Recently sunroof is one feature that is offered by almost every car maker. Some offer sunroof only in their top-end variant while some generously provide sunroof across all variants. We expect Ciaz could also get a sunroof as Honda City and Hyundai Vera have variants with sunroofs.
Engine
Currently, the Ciaz is powered by a K15 petrol engine which produces 103 bhp and 138 Nm of torque. Along with this, a 1.5 diesel BS6 complaint could also be offered in the new generation Ciaz that will produce around 115 bhp and 250nm of torque. Also, a six-speed automatic torque converter could be used instead of CVT.
Safety features
The new generation of Ciaz could get safety features like six airbags, and lane keep assist along with ISOFIX compatible seats for child safety, ABS + EBD.
Price and launch
The new generation Ciaz is expected to be priced with additional ninety thousand to a lakh extra than the current price of the Ciaz. The Car will be launched in the first half of 2022. The Ciaz will continue to compete with Honda City and Hyundai Verna.
