Maruti Suzuki Ciaz [2014-2017] User Reviews

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.

Final Words

• Finally guys. I am really to be a proud owner of my Maruti SuzukiCIAZ ZXI.
• One morething. I have seen some of the reviews about interiors quality, guys trust me ciaz interiors are made by good quality plastic. 

Areas of improvement Nothing. as of now.

Superb ,Ultimate look, I can say that symbol of dignity,Good fuel economy.Nothing found

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 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

 Projector Headlamps, Nice flow of line from the side till the rear, looks bigger and different design when compare to other Maruthi Models. Keyless entry works really good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

EVery thing is good. Console box with closure, rear sun shade, rear AC vents, good audio system. Dont have any thing to say about negative.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Even though power is lesser in this segment, i don't feel underpower. I didn't go above 100, but touched 100 easily. Will try above this after first service. city drive is really good. Engine noise creeps into the cabin when you rev it hardly, but when you drive in between 2 to 3k, you don't get that noise and easily touchs 100KM with this range.

Ride Quality & Handling

Pot holes are easily taken and i didn't find any issue. Ride Qualitry is good

Final Words

VFM, Petrol vehicle with almost 20KM/L in Highways and around 14KM/L in city with the size of this car, its a good buy.

Areas of improvement  

 Need to improve engine noise in higer RPM when rev it.

 

Fuel Economy, Good interiors and manyEngine noise when Rev it hardly, otherwise its quiet

Exterior

 Looka neat and impressive, great improvement on other Maruti models, can be improved though by giving it a look like a lower bonnet to make it more streamlined. excellent headlight and rear light clusters,  

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Comforatble with ample leg space for 3 tall people, good rear cooling, charger units and glass holders, rear window defogger, suitable for all types of highway, and have driven it even in the hills without discomfort. The tilting steering and drivers seat adjustment are a dream for tall people. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Pickup when required on overtaking on highway needs improvement ( difficult to overtake on highways with traffic due to lack of immediate response from engine ), fuel economy excellent, cabin ride superb except when on short length bad roads on highways even at medium speeds. 

Ride Quality & Handling

 Suspension should be improved to tackle bumps at even medium speeds on highways and in city roads, especailly roads like Bangalore Roads.

Final Words

 Am very happy with my buy, and will surely recommend it to my friends planning to buy a car soon, but request Maruti to fine tune these small points mentioned above.

Areas of improvement  

 Engine power in bursts required, suspension. nothing more. Excellent vehicle overall. 😄

 

Good fuel economy, comfort front and back, spacious and good lights for night drivingSlow pick up, poor engine response when required for overtaking on highway

Exterior Aerodyanamic design - feels like floating on the road. Stylish Projector lamps , Front grill could have been redesigned.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Gives the feel of a premium vehicle , good leg space both at the rear and front. The head space is bit low at front (for person >6.2" ft it will hit your head)

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Fuel economy is perfect, am getting 15.5 KMPL in city drive and 19.4 KMPL in long Distance.

Engine is bit underpowered , hence unable to beat Honda city in its initial pick up. But on Highways Ciaz Makes the way but inch on inch. Gear box is pretty smooth for the petrol version.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent , but the tire noise makes it bit uneasy , sterio volume at 8 gives you excellent ride quality. Steering retract after full turn is bit slow - may b of the length of the vehicle

Final Words Ciaz is an awesome vehcile and has given me full value for the money and i would consider it as best value sedan when compared to City and Verna. Ciaz and City are tough compertitors.

Areas of improvement If Maruti could bring an engine of 1.6 L and with good power along with fuel economy of >16 KMPL ,Honda City will be vanished. Ensure that the cabin noise is minimized.

Bigger ,Spacious Interiors , Best in class interior Design ,Projector Head lamp , comfort for passenTyre noise as like dzire ,thud thud noise from supention, back seat lean.

I have purchased Ciaz Zxi petrol on April 2nd 2015. After driving about 3,500 Kms and also a long drive from Hyderabad to Chennai 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 120 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 17.0 kmpl on highway .

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

Needs to improve - There is nothing much to improve. However I have noticed fuel pump noice as soon as we start the engine, I really dont know whether it is common in all vehicles or with my vehicle.

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.

 

Good Fuel EconomyFuel pump noice

Exterior This beauty define class. Very attractive exteriors, specifically the tail. This car looks best in white. I wanted to buy silver and end up buying ciaz in white but no regret. It looks amazing in this color.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I took test drive of almost every cars in this segment and no doubt this one is the most spacious. It has ample space for leg room both in front and back. Very comfortable and must buy for someone who drives with family. The boot is big and can easily store 4 big suitcases and 3 hand bags. I was told by many people that this car is not powerful and it's not worth the price but i must say i am driving it since 30th March, 2015 and done 600km so far and very happy with performance.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I drove to a speed of 110 so far and you don't feel the speed it's so steady and no noise of engine. I have ZXi (Petrol) and giving me a mileage of 15 and hope to improve after 1st service. Gear box is smooth, it gives you a sound when you change gear which gives you a feel of driving sports car.

Final Words Suzuki keep it up.
