[@aaryanjayram]

Watching this after 6 years... now it’s safe to say Maruti did place their bids right 👏🏻

[@MrFoop-ks7lj]

This is so weird seeing your own car in a KZbin video being reviewed

[@AIKIA2.0]

Same but I got a 2017*

[@debukalita5086]

2014 my ciaz.still good condition nd best in class it segment.

[@manasvikothari6449]

now maruti Ciaz will no.1 in India so good luck CIAZ

[@PankajThakurPrankee]

Again autocar's clear hits on nitty gritty and subtle review was impressive!! Kudos

[@MamuPinaki]

The back side looks is awesome, somewhat that of City..but the mileage is really impressive of 20 kmph!

[@Imperial791]

its kmpl not kmph

[@akshaychoudhary5815]

This could be serious competitor for city....gud job maruti.... Waiting for u ciaz.... Already had baleno and sx4.....

[@maheshpanchal932]

Vow finally Maruti cud get the car with classy Dash and good Sleek Dynamics. Looks having a Character of Class leading in the Segment. Ample Legroom, Good Mileage and Drive Quality will lead the Segment. Infotainment sound fantastic. Finally feature packed.

[@Abhishek77245]

looks Good. But I don't know how they squeeze so good millage even though engine is same in Ertiga. 20 KMPL on petrol means u will get millage of Wagon R in this car. Also Maruti needs to load all variant like mac wheels, rear Ac vent and music system with steering control as std.

[@manojnayak3338]

Please do a detailed review of Maruti Ciaz Zxi. Need to know the newness in terms of the electronics, breaking, OEM music system and speakers, and a dedicated segment on the smart key.

[@kautuksahni]

Do you have tentative dates for new ciaz facelift launch in 2018?

[@akhilrajeev176]

please upload the review of the hybrid version

[@rohitjhawar6725]

what about the new hybrid ciaz can you guys show test drive review please.

[@jaykay211]

Can the ciaz steering wheel be adjusted for reach and height?

[@praharsha_k]

what is the best showroom in hyderabad for buying ciaz in service point of view??

[@umanggala4474]

best car in its segment only thing is there should be 1.6 engine which is in s cross

[@aanurag038]

looks really big, compared to its competition, looks like maruti will finally taste sum success in this segment

[@drbenedictraj]

I would like electric seat adjustment and cruise control too for 10L on road.

[@SaturdayCarFever]

My first car was a 3-cyl. Maruti 800cc made in India and was nothing like that spacious sedan :D It was only 10 years ago and cars are so freaking big now. It's good though.

[@bhavikmistry6973]

I wanted to know about Maruti Ciaz 1.4L Petrol Engine.....Is it good to buy or not.....i have seen many reviews of customers about the lack of power while overtaking on highways.....so it good to buy......and will it be suitable car to run with CNG kit and power.

[@vijayashankarchellappan9345]

Autocar India is ciaz a success??i booked one diesel car but nw am confused on not seeing lot of ciaz on the roads

[@gatewaynewsfrombaharich5343]

when the maruti facefilt ciaz launch to india I am waiting for my answers ...

[@stdbooth]

Please make comparison video of ciaz and new Honda City!

[@abhishekrichalove]

tested on nh-8 (neemrana) ?

[@1pravinshiva]

Both the variants are impressive... It scored well in Every way.. expect the power...i believe it will be a big success for maruti after swift dezire

[@eshwarabhinav]

When is the Ciaz facelift going to launch ?

[@mhatreraj04]

Mam out of topic question.....why does most of the reviewers always say positive about the cars for example build quality of caiz most of them said its top notch😕 but i am using my caiz build quality 30/100 its do disappointing that no one is exposing maruti quality and we fall for them because of you guys...

[@666Ranji]

COOL CIAZ!!!

[@vickypatel3731]

i loved the design

[@smitamohapatra8536]

we need a AMT gear review

[@ericvmarsh77]

wha a BOLD Review ....appreciate the honest review

[@kartheekbollu]

Touch screen have issues. slow , and some times light is auto off and auto on .

[@dsinghr]

this is going to eat lot of sales from City.. look at the rear seat space.. that's Humongous ! people who can't handle space age looks of city.. will dig it

[@compusavvy]

Please review CIAZ SHVS

[@vijayashankarchellappan9345]

Grey or silver???

[@Jaydeep732]

what about Nexa Ciaz S ???

[@razrazz715]

which is best maruthi suzuki ciaz (petrol) or honda city (petrol) in terms of ride and handling,interior looks,cabin noise? plzz do reply

[@famousvideos8873]

Honda city

[@baaraathg]

where is cruise control, automatic headlamps, rain sensing wipers, Sunroof ? ......although we don't really use all these, but i feel it is necessary in this segment for a car. Even SX4 was initially a successful car, but later lost its position in a very short period. if it has a price advantage then let's see

[@sahilsatishkumar]

Why do the shots looks fake when the car is parked? *Just sayin'*

[@rohanagarwal6848]

Now its 8 years old Maruti should bring new generation now

[@shekherdevarkar9680]

it has Android auto or apple car

[@unicorn9980]

Awesome........

[@SwPiotrek]

Suzuki you cen bring it to europ! Very nice car.

[@akshaychoudhary5815]

And that in Diwali period sure HITTTTT......

[@yuvrajjaiswal8486]

and y dont they change there steering wheel style

[@keerthivasan3643]

They're lucky enough with the ciaz & baleno today

[@NPgaming907]

Ciaz dream car

[@RAJESHKUMAR-pz4oc]

ciaz nice product

[@umeshtilak]

As u said if it really delivers "20Km/l" for the petrol variant then it will be big hit in India based only on that fact, forget the blings and the features it comes with. They should have made its rear end a quite different in shape because at a first glance it does look like a Honda City. Looks like we now do have an option for the ever popular Honda city. Cheers ....

[@jakal1591]

Did I see a bit of Ford Fusion in the front? or is it just me

[@WisdomChaser82]

why most car review videos comes with manual gear !!

[@GR3392.]

I think its very different from the prototype model.. it was much better and sporty looking this looks plane..

[@vinuvinu561]

Good car

[@davinder279]

i think this will become more popular than city and even will eat sales of their own dzire and ertiga

[@vibdrugsbiosciences2494]

city is the best car...as power plus mileage...no comparison with ciaz

[@gauravramharimisar3801]

i want to exchange my honda amaze with ciaz

[@SuvidhThapar]

Gaurav Misar go ahead for the Ciaz.

[@premsehgal4946]

Ciaz is nice

[@rimat5460]

New ciaz facelift is awesome

[@authenticmax6350]

What maruti suzuki should be building is a 3 door / 2 door coupe racing sports for young girls, boy, couples and old timers will follow later. Something like mazda miata i mean

[@KK20048]

Hoped for 100+ bhp on petrol & diesel engine.....

[@21cabbage53]

Krishnaraj Krishnabhavan bro it's hp not bhp

[@shashankverma8197]

Faevian 24, hp is shorter form of bhp..... BHP = for break horse power HP = for horse power They mean the same

[@magarwal1]

Come on Suzuki stop putting this Same crap 1.3l multijet in all your cars. This Vehicle definitely need a new engine anything with 135/150bhp, 25kgm@1500rpm Torque..... This engine will be quite sluggish under load. Definitely destroy the cars worth. This engine is used in all these vehicle what make Ciaz any Different :- Chevrolet Beat TCDi Fiat Linea Fiat Grande Punto Fiat Linea Classic Fiat Grande Punto Sport Maruti Suzuki Ritz Maruti Suzuki Swift Maruti Suzuki Dzire Maruti Suzuki SX4 Maruti Suzuki Ertiga TATA Indica Vista Quadrajet Tata Vista D90 TATA Indigo Manza Quadrajet Premier Rio 1.3 Multijet Chevrolet Sail Hatch Chevrolet Sail Sedan Chevrolet Enjoy MPV

[@nischalk1336]

Well the engine can be better tuned for more output...the Dzire has 75bhp output while the ciaz has 89bhp...not the same

[@ShabrishMenon]

Best product from Maruthi so far. Much better ROI compared to Verna and City as they pass cost to customers for not having 100% localised manufacturing. Only drawback is power which is only adequate and not like City or Verna. Rapid has best power in this segment and therefore you have to choose an all rounder and not a car which is specifically good in one aspect.

[@maijosuresh]

please test drive shvs ciaz also

[@wdmfan]

just wished if they would have kept looks head lights front look, indicator leds,and tail light same as it was shown in Auto Expo 2014, it would have been hot piece of cake, but now they messed it up, same old boring looks decade old, with same old engine....

[@roseleathercraftsph]

Looks like a Mitsubishi Attrage to me

[@dsinghr]

what ! 20 kmph for petrol! I though city is way ahead in game with 17 kmph in petrol. although mine never went beyond 10.3 kmph with smooth driving

[@subhashramachandran7871]

its only on paper, when it comes to real world driving it will be close to 13kmpl

[@Abhishek77245]

Bro mine Ertiga squeeze out 14-15 kmpl easily on petrol with double Ac on highway, when claim efficiency is just over 16 kmpl. On top of that mine is CNG, so car always need to carry weight of tank and 7 people. so may be we can get 18 in this as it is more light with only 5 people and no cng tank.

[@dsinghr]

may be my city is very new .. only three months old. it might take some time to get better mileage

[@Abhishek77245]

millage more depends on Driving style. My car also 3 months used bought in May. But has completed 9k km's.

[@dsinghr]

then i suppose Maruti petrol's mileage is inherently better than Honda's. I also drive very smooth and avoid quick accelerations/stops

[@pasupaty1]

feel is quite upmarket for a mid size sedan

[@indranilbasu01]

No doubts about the performance etc ... but the looks could have been better....

[@pasupaty1]

fefinitely looks good ,pricing has to besee n but the interiores will never bore you,mileage though all suzuki versions give better mileage than honda cars.

[@ramniwas-vo9eb]

Seems like big sedan

[@24374265]

In 2014 finally a Maruti car with front arm rest, Maybe by 2030 Maruti will start offering Sunroof, Six airbags, Auto headlamps & wipers etc in their premium offering

[@kunalkundu6354]

The 2004 baleno had an armrest :p

[@24374265]

Topsy Turvy Wow what an engineering marvel, Thanks for enlightening our knowledge

[@rajkanwarkahlon4341]

Sahil Amin The 2017 ciaz is having sunroof and all other features

[@rohanagarwal6848]

Sahil Amin 2017 maruti vitara brezza and scross get automatic headlamps

[@kiran.rpillai1949]

i hope 2017 face lift ciaz come with sunroof

[@le301-rakeshkumar9]

this car was really nice than the honda city

[@sherrysharad]

People who are into Honda badge and brand value will still buy the City. Though this looks like a promising car, part of the problem is Maruti's badge value as a small car manufacturer. That's why Baleno and SX4 despite being great cars with good engines (read petrol) were not successful. As far as diesel is concerned, I guess someone with bit of sense will buy neither of the two. Honda's NVH is too high and 1.3litre in a sedan this big feels too low. In that the Vento/Rapid still tops the chart with VW/Skoda badge value and awesome built quality, even if low on gismos.

[@ParantapSharma]

but those who are concerned about service, will still go for maruti brand.

[@laypyu]

Parantap Sharma Precisely. Those who look for service and value for money will definitely go the Maruti route.

[@nischalk1336]

Well Let's see how VW/Skoda fare with the emission problems...now, if anyone has sense they would not opt for a VW diesel

[@ParantapSharma]

yeah, nowadays Mahindra is my favourite they are innovating with their uv's tuv, kuv, etc. and their beautifully abrupt and different designs... and renault is also doing good, i especially loved its make in india kwid

[@fantasticcupcake7980]

the lady is perfect, excellent driving skills for sure

[@athulskumar9361]

y the hell is the petrol engine less peppier than the diesel even though it has more horses? Maruti always has shown disregard for the petrol cars till date..... the Verna 1.4 petrol is so exciting and yah...1.6 petrol is a blast...

[@shekharkamath178]

bcz Maruti=Middleclass.... Suzuki=Class... Maruti are like Jugaad me sab fix lagaya hua Mechanic ka kam... Indians like maruti cz its low cost and easy emi (finance easy) and also Roadside mechanic can also fix it/service it... but if you own any other Foreign car its very complicated beautiful system and once a roadside mechanic messes it up the Service station wont even change with and might cost dear.

[@palladeeps]

ciaz has a major problem with the headlights....its a dangerous vehicle to drive at night in the highways....i bought it but regretting now...u cant drive it at night...its headlamps are very poor

[@vivekbhartisharma7217]

absolutely agree with you... even I am facing same issue. Maruti guys have no solution to it...

[@totallyexplored]

Front looks like that old Baleno, its boring. Engine is underpowered with just 90 bhp. Both petrol and diesel are noisy motors on this. Doesnot look it will be a hit.

[@rakeshvaddan4980]

Features are impressive, but looks underpowered. Maruti should have continue with SX4 engine or Turbo charged it.

[@santoshkhatale969]

Ciaz diesel engine mileage is very good Highway 24 +

[@_pr0mZ]

Looks like Ciaz is inspired from Vauxhall Insignia. Though it is boring plain design, people are gonna buy it just because it is Maruti Suzuki.

[@sagarsagarv9841]

Who is watching in 2021 lock down

[@SiddhantParkar]

Will be hard to beat the Honda City

[@videos41]

Ay ay ay I have a brown ciaz

[@himanshmulchandani5075]

Which one is better?? Honda city(petrol) or Suzuki ciaz(petrol)?? Please reply fast.. Which one has a better ride quality and interior??

[@mandeepbaweja3021]

Both r gud, better watch a comparison

[@Xerwolf6831]

This car looks like a new suzuki dzire

[@Soham-xh4cs]

modified version of sx4

[@user-zi8pd7uu4c]

price ciaz ???

[@adityapv3234]

high model zxi+ costs 12lakh

[@luckygoldy]

Engine is underpowered ,, I have felt that under power already in ERTIGA and the same is carried here !! Maruti you need to Cook your own engine its time,, why still borrow from FIAT...

[@JasminChauhan]

ciaz 89bhp, verna 128bhp, no comparison for mileage

[@saswatsnayak102030]

ciaz has a much better interior

[@adityaramesh9202]

its much lighter,that more than compensate for power

[@ramanjotsingh2172]

what about availability of parts and their cost with Hyundai cars?

[@arnavgoel1818]

Meet the new 2017 verna

[@rohangigigeorge7595]

It's too long for the segment

[@yuvrajjaiswal8486]

verne and city ae 10000 times better than ciaz

[@shivkuwal]

spokes are less than Ashok Chakra

[@booboochombu]

big disappointment when compared to the suzuki alivio, which is the Chinese version of this car...indians are truly second-class customers for all car companies...

[@sriaparajith]

that's probably because we Indians want everything for the price of almost nothing. :)

[@ArssszShaaaz]

We want at 6,99,000 which is 11,000 $ for that u don't get the Yaris also in us.. Chev spark in us starts from 7.29 lacs.

[@Mb198129]

Aparajith Sridharan So value for money = wanting things for nothing ie cheapskate ??? Funny concepts .... In India we pay equivalent or more for many things but the quality is definitely lower than those sold in EU US , Japan etc, be it a car or even cadbury's diary milk . Fact is fact

[@tanmaxkmr]

+ArssszShaaaz but u get Range Rover sport at about 55lakhs rupees (converted) in USA , while 1.5 crore in India! also cars like Land Cruiser Prado are supposed to be around 32lakhs but starts at 90lakhs! this is because cars which aren't produced in a region are imported. and india charges 170% of the cost of the car as duties

[@sumitkachroo]

Mileage is everything in India. Personally speaking Honda city looks are killed by it's tyre size and Ciaz is not that beautiful in looks as Verna. So according me Verna still rulez.

[@nischalk1336]

well if mileage is everything in India...., City, Ciaz>Verna

[@aditya9600]

Nischal Kiran if space is everything still ciaz,city >> verna

[@only333]

The shock absorbing abilities of this vehicle is below par. Get a friend to go over a speed breaker with you in the second row of seats. You may decide not to buy the vehicle and you will thank me.

[@dheerajrathod3651]

Bl00dy piece of dabba it looks

[@yuvrajjaiswal8486]

suzuki has made all the cabine of it cars same it look bullshit

[@kiran.rpillai1949]

Yuvarj Jaiswal specialy those switches sucks

[@syedali6986]

The wheels are two small looks the car has got polio !!

[@AJsVIEW]

looks like a tata indigo, shit car

[@kartikbhardwaj4474]

Tin ka dabba low quality😝😝😝
