Maruti Suzuki Ciaz vs Skoda Superb [2014-2016]

Here are the five reasons why one should buy the Ciaz diesel and two reasons why one shouldn’t.

The Skoda Superb is probably the best example of (VFM) value-for-money cars ever – it is not a tightly packaged entry-level hatchback from the Pacific Rim that gets applause for the price tag. In fact, it is European and of such generous size that even the mightiest of Scandinavians won’t grimace at the prospect of using this for daily commute. In size it is almost on par with the Mercedes E-Class or BMW 5 Series – of course it does not offer all the gizmos, but then costs a fraction of the money that not only lets you put the rest to better use but also allows you to slip under the radar if you don’t like unnecessary attention – say from the income tax department!

This right here is the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz diesel. But it doesn’t use the tried and tested Fiat-sourced 1.3-litre motor.
