Should I buy one?

To differentiate itself from the already overcrowded mid-size sedan market, Maruti has thrown in lot of tech to improve fuel efficiency. Features like Deceleration Energy Regeneration and start-stop system promise to appeal to our kpl-conscious market. However, we will reserve our judgment until we actually put it through our rigorous fuel-efficiency test. But for now, on paper, the Ciaz SHVS will definitely attract more customers to this already popular vehicle. Maruti has priced the Ciaz a little cheaper than the outgoing non-hybrid version, thanks to the FAME scheme by the government of India. The Ciaz SHVS Diesel Hybrid is now priced from Rs 8.23 lakh (Ex-showroom, Delhi).
