மாருதி சுஸுகி சியாஸ் [2014-2017] யூசர் ரிவ்யுஸ்

Exterior

PRO;

I just love the design,. design review is not a fixed review because which is depents on each pearson, here I love the over all design. which looks like audi style. Round shaped bulging design is over all in this car, sholder lines, big fog lamps, projector head lam with integrated turning indicator, front grills, bonnet lines, SPECIALY designed side beeding with crome finish, slightly bigger boot with reflectors and crome line gives the looks premium and sportier. come finish is nice to see im door handles, below the glass window, front air dam, @ the rear side of the car s badge looks nice, under the s badge a crome line is placed, SHVS badge looks very nice, strip shaped reflectors are used in eye shaped back reflector spot. here in zdi+ model they offers 16inch allowy wheels with 16spocks and flat bottom sports tyres, the aerodynamic shape is exelent, the roof line is superb. bonnet is similar to city but ciaz is better in utility and looks. which provides 510Liter boot space in here. so over all I give 5 star.

CON;

DRL's NOT PROVIDED

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox IN SHVS diesel which is superb,. 28.09km/l. 5gear box manuel.

Ride Quality & Handling Extreamly good. im so confident to drive @ high speed through highways,. the larger wheel base provides better stability in high speed drive. they provide better suspension setup, and the refinement level is perfect under 5000rpm rate of the engine.

Final Words I'm wondered, In ciaz (zdi+ SHVS),. all are well equiped & well maintained, extreamly spacious, well in comfort, better suspension setup, extreamly aerodynamic in design, high speed driving stability, blend of premium & sporty look, resale value, value for money, customers satisfaction, better fuel economy(28.09km/l), self designed infotainment system, etc etc.

SO DONT WORRIED ABOUT THIS CAR, JUST GO FOR BUY YOUR COMPANION(CIAZ).

Areas of improvement  

* DRL(DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHT).

* 1.4L ENGINE IS NEEDED.

Exterior

Superb styling and looks great from every angle. It indeed is a head turner on the roads, attracts a lot of second looks and makes people curious. Maruti has got the styling right, looks indeed modern and contemporary. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

The best in its class so far, superb beige & black dual tone interiors. Excellent stock audio system and so is the blutooth handsfree setup. Class leading space especially the rear bench, 5 adults can comfortably travel, ample leg room for all. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Contrary to reviews, this engine works really well for this car. Although on paper the BHP numbers are less than Honda civic, the car never felt underpowered in city or highway speeds. The fuel economy is one of the highlights of this car, I am getting close 17+ on a city/highway mixed driving conditions. The engine is super quiet and hardly any noise filters into the cabin. Except for the tyre noise on a concrete roads, there is absolutely no noise. 

Ride Quality & Handling

Maruti has done its homework well on the ground clearance and overall NVH levels and hence the ride is probably the best in class. Fantastic ride and superb handling. 

Final Words

Best in class, excellent fuel economy, value for money. Highly recommended. For those still on the fence, please carry out a back-to-back test drive of Ciaz and whatever other car and then go with your heart. With Maruti you just cannot go wrong.

Areas of improvement   

Wish the Zxi+ was available readily.

Exterior Good looking.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Value for Money with good long service in India . good leg room , light colour , easy control ovrm and mirrors.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good pick up for long drive too.

Ride Quality & Handling Indian highway is not allowing speed more than 80 if you want to safe journey after all crossing trucks etc in different lanes. So this vehicle is good fit . Better not to spend much money for luxury.

Final Words Good vehicle with improvment features.

Areas of improvement I dont think they need improvement more for this money, its ok. I choosen as its with optional GPS navigation as per Maruti website but no one dealer and manufacturer supplied. Overall its ok. SX4 was failed for resale, Maruti should try for good marketting support so that this car will click to Upper middle class at ASAp, helps good sale Maruti.

Exterior  Very pleasing and appealing.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Aesthetically and ergonomically designed with comfort in mind. Big boot.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Got about 18.2 kmpl on a long journey on expressway which is quite good. Within the NCR  the mileage I am getting  is about 16 kmpl. Expected  to improve since present reading on my odometer is only 1200kM. 

No problems faced with gear box however the clutch is slightly hard.

Ride Quality & Handling Experiencing  slight sway and rocking on wavery  roads- may be the suspension, mountings etc. Need a check up by Maruti experts.

Final Words Expecting Maruti Engineers to look into the reason for cabin noise for which  I have requested through their web site. Nevertheless CIAZ is a wonderful car and VFM.

Areas of improvement Not an expert to comment. I will come back with more reviews after driving for some more time and distance😄.

Exterior Beauty is a subjective matter though,but I find it very stylish.  not as futuristic as a city or a verna but still better than many of its peers.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Nice interiors with good quality plastic used(don't listen to guys who say the opposite..they have'nt been inside a city yet), good contols, awesome AC and a decent quality music system(i beieve JVC). The only set back is the seat quality..a better thigh support would have been great..not bad though still.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox All the users keep on blabbering about the engine performance of the car that its not as good as city's or verna's. this mahcine has been made for a better mileage and comfort to begin with. all the tweeks have been made accordingly.If you are a torque lover, go buy a ford classic or something.So, keep this is mind when you go for a test drive.and its not that bad either.

Ride Quality & Handling Awesome ride quality. I drove home to HP from Delhi(almost 500 kms). I did'nt feel a hint of tiredness all through. Also, at 160km/hr the car was stable and confident. nice control on the curves too. Also, its me an average of 600 kms in 2000 bucks. what else is needed.

Final Words Reiterating. dont go for the car if you're particularly looking for engine/performance/speed/pick up, blah blah..or else, take a TD and bring it home. finally, is it that bad if u save a large chunk on the after saels??

Areas of improvement The engine makes noise post 2000 RPM mark. enuff said.

Exterior.Nice clean and sleek design. Everything just in place. Though the Rear end looks more like Honda City.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features and interiors manifest a luxurious feel and the seating  very comfortable. Smart Key. Infotainment system give a feel of higher segment Car. However Navigation system and Smart Phone system need updating to  synch with all brands of Smart phones and Google Map.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Performance  in City traffic  is excellent without having to make frequent gear  shift. Reaching speed upto 100 kms/hour was smooth and engine very responsive. However on highways and open roads felt a bit under powered while trying to drive over 120 Km/hour. Who needs that kind of speed on Indian roads ???

Fuel Efficiency. Drove the Ciaz for about 1800 Kms . 600 Kms in City stop and go traffic and 1200Kms on National Highways. Got an average mileage of 18.5 Kms. Drove Bangalore - Hyderabad (600 Kms) with a tank full. Was left with quarter tank Plus Approximately 13-15 ltrs still in the tank. That makes it about 20 Kms/Ltr as promised.

Ride Quality & Handling Suspension system is good, Good  road clearance enable smooth going over road humps, Rides the bumps and pot holes smoothly. 

Final Words Happy to have bought this Excellent Value for Money Family Sedan.

Areas of improvement Improve Engine power for those looking for a car to enter Formula One racing.

Exterior

 Exterior is decent, one of the best from maruti till now and justifies C segment slot well.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Most of the features are in, comfortable seating and bigger pot holes and raod humps are well handled without giving goose bumps to passenger inside.

I hear body noise when riding over pot holes in the back, whihc I think to do with poor body built, at times you feel the body is too hollow.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Lags initial pick-up, overtaking is a concern indeed since the power does not surge straight away when you step the throttle, engine makes lot of noise beyond 3000 rpm.

Good Fuel Economy, I have driven 1000 Km's, getting 17.5 in highway and 16 in city.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Good.

Final Words

 Poor body built.

I hear body noise when riding over pot holes in the back, whihc I think to do with poor body built, at times you feel the body is too hollowish.

Areas of improvement  

 Bit powerfull engine with better body built.

Exterior

 I added few more accessories to enhance the look of Ciaz. 16 inch alloy wheels enhance the exterioir look !!

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Smart infotainment system, camera assisted parking, good leg space and spacious interioirs

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 I am happpy for the Engine performance without any compromise on the Mileage. 

Ride Quality & Handling

 Ride Quality is good.. ground clearence is better than any other sedans i feel.

Final Words

 I am happy for choosing Maruthi Ciaz ZXI+. I had driven almost 8ooo kms from the Feb-2015 and newer felt bad at any point for opting Maruthi Ciaz petrol top variant.  i am getting 16.6 mileage in bangalore city. i use the car for daily commuting from ECity to Marthahalli.

Areas of improvement  

 Spare tyre is 15 inch disk wheel and not 16 inch alloy wheel for ZXI+ model. They can chanrge 5k more to the total price and would have given spare tyre similar to other tyres.
