Ciaz was supposed to be Maruti's second attempt to Mid size semi luxury sedan segment. This segment, unfortunately caters to quite diverse set if customers whose expectations range from performance to style statement. However, Ciaz offers none or rather doesn't excel in any department. The car although is longer than all of it's competitors, but trends quite poorly on road manners due to it's poor chassis and super soft suspension. In addition to this, it's 1.3 litre FIAT multijet diesel (which belongs to previous century) is sluggish and offers no thrill whatsoever.
All in all, it's an average performer with huge space for rear passengers along with Maruti's amazing post purchase experience.
