The terms ‘Maruti’ and ‘premium mid-size sedan’ haven’t really gelled. First, the Baleno didn’t make a convincing case for itself against the similarly priced Lancer and the first-gen City. Then the SX4, though better priced, wasn’t appealing enough in an era centred on feel-good factor and brand strength. Enter,
the Ciaz – Maruti’s latest mid-sizer which aims to remedy past mistakes. Maruti has left no stone unturned this time around and ensured that its latest crack at this segment has ticked all the right boxes. It’s spacious, well-equipped, fuel-efficient and superbly priced. You can buy the Ciaz in both petrol and diesel versions and the petrol car gets an optional automatic as well. Our test car is the petrol manual which, to start with, has great pricing on its side.
Prices for the petrol version start at Rs 7.21 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) for the base VXi trim going up to Rs 9.64 lakh for the best-equipped ZXi automatic variant. There’s no doubt that the Ciaz is Maruti’s best bet yet, but is it good enough to make an indelible mark in a segment that Maruti has failed
to crack?
