Maruti Suzuki Ciaz [2014-2017] User Reviews

Exterior : Ultimate looks. Best in its genre. Way better than verna and city. Comparable to jetta and corrolla( The higher segment than this). Beast at its best.😎

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features are really good. All neccessary features you will get in CIAZ, Space and comfort is again best in its class. Bigger, wider and spacious than verna and city and other cars in segment.

Interriors are good. I wish they would have given same interiors like leather stearing and leather seat covers in ZDI like they gave in ZDI+ and bit improved interiors.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is good. Bit underpowered than city and verna but still better performance and enough power. The car remains in control, smooth driving and handling unlike south korean brand hyundai which are full on features and less on performance and safety.

I am extremely satisfied. Could have given better gearbox. Its just ok. Getting an average of 21-22km/l local and on highways 24-26km/l. Great average.

EXTREMELY SATISFIED

Ride Quality & Handling  Done with 2700 Kms, so far didn't found any fault in riding. Driving experience is smooth, handling is in control. Max speed upto which i went till now is 150km/hr and driving experience was awesome. Great control, handling. No fault at all. Enjoyed riding on CIAZ

Final Words A wonderful car to buy in this segment. I would say the best because i own verna too and have experienced other cars in same genre before buying. So far i am extremely satisfied that i have made the right decision. If you are looking for value for money, Go for CIAZ.

Areas of improvement Bit improvement in interiors and gear box.

Space, Comfort, Looks, Fuel Average, Features, Handling, Smooth DrivingNeed bit better interior for ZDI like ZDI+

I have purchased Ciaz Zxi petrol around a month back. After driving about 2000 Kms, I am submitting this review. The new Ciaz has real elegant looks. The front chrome grill , split tail lamps , aerodynamic shape adds to its styling.

This car is very stable on highways at 140 kmph speed.

The noiseless petrol engine, Automatic climate control AC , bluetooth and audio controls on steering wheels supports a very comfortable driving experience. More space , rear AC vents adds to comfortable back seat long drive.

Pick up is very good. I never felt this machine underpower at any point.

This car has given me mileage of 17.5 kmpl on highway and around 15 kmpl in the city driving conditions.

Best Features - Keyless entry , Push button start and stop , Rear sunshade, Projector Headlamps, Height adjustable drivers seat, large boot space.

Needs to improve - Nothing as such.

Overall, I am a satisfied owner of this stylish, elegent and featureful sedan from Maruti Suzuki at this price. Its really value for money and a must buy.

This is my third car after the esteem and the 2004 honda city. Had pre booked it without looking at it or knowing what the package would be like. Have purchased the Petol VX+ version with airbags and auto ac . Frankly was surprised with the package that i got. It had all the frills expected from a car in this price range. What surprised me was the space, which is more than both my previous cars.  Just wished they had priced it a little lower by around 50k ( thats what i expected when i pre booked it ) 

Exterior

Large high exterior , which is taller than its compatriots in the same segment gives the car a bold strong look. While the front seems a mash up between the dzire/ baleno, the back seems similiar to the city. However the taller and slightly longer body gives the car a much bigger look and a more premium feel 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

No complaints in the space. I am a 6 footer and keep my driver chair almost on par with the middle pillar, still there is 6 inches of legroom left in the back when another 6 foot person is sitting there. This car has enourmous space and feels roomy with the beige interiors  

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

The engine is smooth ,much more than i expected. Hardly makes a noise. The only flaw i found is that one has to rev hard to give the car fast pickup. With slow revs , it takes a little time to hit hundred, but guess that imporves the economy. If you increase the RPM in the lower gears, the car can shoot ahead . I owned a honda previously and have even driven the new 2014 honda model, and both needed to be pushed hard to get the accelaration, just like this car. But the maruti has a weaker engine so needed a greater press on the pedal, but performed with equal gusto . 

I Got a fantastic mileage of 20+ on the highway, with mileage within the city between 13 to 14 with AC. Feel thats ok for a petrol engine 

Ride Quality & Handling

Adequate ride quality and abosrbed most of the bumps. The few that it didnt must be because of the craters on mumbai roads. Drove the car till 150kph and didnt feel any vibrations . The steering is soft and light , much lighter than the new city  

Final Words

 The car is good, maybe they could have given the front a more different look. The miser in me wishes they had priced it less by another 50,000/- . Then they would have licked the competiotion 

Areas of improvement  

The front sytling could have been different. An while it is easy to ask for a more powerful engine, that would be at the cost of mileage .

Final Words

 I purchased this car in Kolkata in November and it has been in the garage for engine problems ever since. The Last time the Maruti garage people said that they had replaced several sensors in the engine after consulting with the factory in Delhi. They promised it would solve all the ongoing problems. This was about ten days ago and today the car would not start leaving my wife stranded and having to take a taxi home. I am sick to death of this car and wish I had never bought it. Don't be fooled by the good looks! it's a dud. DO NOT BUY!!! Also we were told by the Maruti service people here that we would have to pay to have the car towed to the garage for repair or alternatively we would have to pay our own mechanic to fix the car at the break down site. So not only does the car suck, so does the after sale service!!

Areas of improvement  

 I can only hope that Maruti will offer a replacement because my experiance with this heap is absolutely unacceptable. 

 

noneConstantly in the garage for engine problems

Exterior Quit good. Though conventional but a clean design. Side profile gives a feeling one class above compare to its competitors.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) This is the best part of the car, nice clean and slick design. everything just in place with full of features. Huge leg room. Extra under thigh support could have been better.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I have driven more than 1000 km, I did not fell at all any lack of power contrary to the other reviews. It has quite good pull. 0-80 is quite quick. Though above 3000 rpm engine noise comes into the cabin. Maruti could have done a better job here. Best part is fuel economy, in petrol version I am getting 20+ on expressway. Gearbox is short but little notchy.

Ride Quality & Handling I used to drive Optra which is much heavier car and I used to get the feeling of much more stable and grounded, this is much lighter car which does not give same confidence like optra. Steering is too light which I don't like. But very good for city driving. Suspension is good, nicely absorbers small pot holes, bump etc. Steering is precise during cornering, but felt little body role.

Final Words Overall very nice package under 10 lakhs. It's hands down winner against the competition. I love it.

Areas of improvement Engine noise above 3k rpm.

Good fuel economy, interior, features, valueunder thigh support, engine noise above 3k rmp

Exterior Looks in between C & D segment Car.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior space is very very spcious. One may feel riding into a D segment car, Abundant space both in front and rear with huge legroom and three healthy people can sit comfortbly in rear seats.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox No engine noise, No vibrations and No body roll while driving on to a bad roads.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent ride quality which satisfies to a premium segment car.

Final Words Every one knows it was Suzuki to introduce Fiat sourced 1248CC, 1.3 litre multijet diesel engine of 75bhp to produce 190Nm torque in a Swift back in 2007 and  what a hit it is still in Indian market. And still many people criticise that Ciaz having has same Fiat sourced 1248CC with a powerfull 89Bhp which is more than a Swift as an small engine to a big car, under power bala bla bla. and make mistake in buying an 1500CC engine car which consumes more fuel an produces more noise and vibrations even the clutch pedal starts shaking and requires frequently checked for a servise and maintenance which can be avoided.

Areas of improvement Some of the features are to be introduced like Cruise control which is a boon for highways.

Great Power and Fuel Economy, Less vibration, Less Noise.Nill

Exterior No nonsense design, european styling, sleek looks, projector lamps, long wheelbase.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Enormous space, superior comfort, good ride quality.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Fuel economy is unquestionable, I guess its the talk of the town, my colleagues asked me the mileage and they double dropped their jaws after my response. my car gives me a massive 18kmpl on the highway and a decent 12 in bumper to bumper city traffic. overall mileage figures are 14.5 kmpl and my car is just 4 weeks old and I expect it to go up after 5000 kms. Gear box is slick and shifting is creamy.

Engine is a little underpowered but you won't feel the need for it unless you want to race a car side by. as long as you are driving on your own and as per your own pace and don;t intend to beat the hell out of some other car you would never realise the under powered engine of ciaz. so if you are a family guy who prefers to drive safe and even, it would hardly matter to you.

Ride Quality & Handling The ride quality is awesome, it takes the biggest of potholes and speed breakers with ease and does not let the thud afftect the passengers inside. the drive is even and quite settled even on high speed drives and speeds in excess of 100KMPH.

Handling is apt and the car does not disaapoint you. it is quiet obedient and rarely misbehaves. the steering is chunky and confidence enhancing and manouvering is not a herculian task even on narrow city roads.

Final Words The CIAZ is a wonderful product from the maruti stable and the one that could give the leaders in this segment a run for it money. being almost 1.5 lakh cheaper than the top spec of honda city and almost 80k cheaper than the top spec of verna, this car values your hard earned bucks. space is awesome, boot is by far the largest in this segment and the length ensures that you get a feel of car a notch above than its class. sometimes parking is a issue coz of this massive length, but the rps and the camera do help you a lot. acceleration from stand still is decent and quiet responsive, mid level and top level punch is where you feel the underpowered engine, but overall the drive is smooth and you won't be disappointed. go for it if you are looking for a classy sedan with good space.

Areas of improvement They could add some more features like cruise control and sunroof to maximise its value.

Fuel Economy, Space, Styling, Ride, HandlingNothing, but still a Sunroof would have made the deal a STEAL

Exterior

 exterior look very nice even though a bit classic in front.the beauty of the car is from sideways.
 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 spacious interiors.good for 3 adults and one children in back seat.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 1.3 engine is enough for our roads this is not less power since we r very populated country and lot of vechiles on road we can go more then 100kms always.they seem to have tuned the engine in shvs so no lag of power.second gear turbo helps to over take in city conditons ( within seconds it touchs 70kms).80 to 100 is best to enjoy very easily the car touches 140kms..fuel economy depends on the road and place and where u drivecity conditions it may give 16.5 with ac ( before first service) and in long outer drives it gives around 21 ( before first service).its hard to find when shvs work.

Ride Quality & Handling

 very very easy to drive ( if any females want to drive a big sedan  this is the best car).

Final Words

 unlike lot of hatchbacks designs available in india carmarket.there are only 5 sedan model namely city,ciaz , verna , skoda and vento.Among these only city and ciaz sell the most each selling 7000 and 5000 all others dont even sell 1500 cars.for about 10lakhs ciaz is the best car to buy with two airbags,abs and ebd.

Areas of improvement  

car interiors should look  modern..have to upgrade switch designs.car mostly look like a assembled one urgently. should sell in nexa show room only bcz dealers treat ciaz customers like alto or omni customers.

 

 

very very easy to drive.very spacious , elder people can easily enter and exit.Dealers are not good .very normally built car.
