Maruti Suzuki Ciaz Facelift Teased Ahead Of Launch This Year
Highlights
The Maruti Suzuki Ciaz facelift has been in the offing for a while now and the automaker has been testing the model for a while too. While we've brought you multiple spy shots of the updated sedan in the past, Maruti Suzuki has finally teased the updated Ciaz in a new video online. The teaser, however, is a blink and miss, and part of a video that shows the complete Nexa range of models. That said, we do get a good look at some of the vital changes that the 2018 Ciaz facelift will sport when it arrives sometime in the following months.

The Maruti Suzuki Ciaz went on sale in late 2014 and has managed to hold the fort in the compact sedan segment for a good four years now. However, the competition has improved by a good margin, which means the Ciaz won't be having it easy now. In the facelift avatar then, the sedan will come with cosmetic upgrades and a host of new features as well. The video teases the new front grille on the Ciaz facelift that gets a chrome induced mesh instead of the horizontal slats. The grille appears more angular now and is complemented by the new sharper-looking headlamps. Noticeable changes include the new LED daytime running lights with projector lens, while updates to the bumper are also likely.

The rear has not been teased on the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz facelift and is likely to get new LED taillights and a revised bumper. Inside, do not expect major changes to the layout of the dashboard, but features like cruise control are likely to be added to the list.

In addition to the aesthetic upgrades, the 2018 Maruti Suzuki Ciaz facelift is likely to get a major change under the bonnet. The automaker could introduce the updated 1.5-litre K-Series petrol engine on the Ciaz facelift, replacing the current 1.4-litre K-Series petrol motor. The 1.5-litre petrol engine made its debut with the new generation Ertiga in Indonesia earlier this year and churns out about 104 bhp and 130 Nm of peak torque. The motor will come paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and is likely to get a mild hybrid system as well for a higher fuel efficiency. Diesel power will continue to come from the same 1.3-litre DDiS motor tuned for 89 bhp and 200 Nm of peak torque.
Dealerships are yet to open bookings for the new Ciaz facelift, but order books are likely to open by early August as per some Nexa outlets across the country. Meanwhile, certain dealers are offering discounts on existing stocks for both petrol and diesel versions. So those looking to pick up the current model would want to check it out. The updated Ciaz will be competing against the likes of the Honda City, Hyundai Verna, Volkswagen Vento and the Skoda Rapid in the segment.
