On 7thOctober 2014, CIAZ received a grand launch at Shivam Autozone, Lakshanchandi. The launch was even more special and peppy because of the joy and enthusiasm of our happy customers. Among the distinguished guests, CIAZ was unveiled by Mr. Yogesh Sagar (MLA Charkop Vidhan Sabha) and Mr. Rishi Goel our Director & C.E.O. at Shivam Autozone India Pvt. Ltd.
This is an important car for Maruti Suzuki and Shivam Autozone, as it will be their third full-fledged attempt to graduate above their image of A-segment and B-segment Mid-Size Sedan and move into the premium categories of vehicles.

Variants:
The Ciaz comes in four variants – V, V+, Z and Z+ for the petrol and diesel versions, V being the base spec and Z being the top-of-the-line variant. The V variant gets a good set of standard features for a base variant, which is impressive. What it also tells us is that Maruti isn’t desperately looking to get a headline price with a totally stripped out entry-spec variant. The V trim gets projector headlamps, power windows, turn indicators on ORVMs, audio system with USB port, four speakers and two tweeters, keyless entry, tilt adjustable steering, height adjustable seatbelts, chrome door handles on the inside, trip computer, manual air-con, rear AC vents, front and rear centre armrests and electrically adjustable ORVMs. You don’t get ABS and Airbags though in this trim.
Move up to the V+ trim and you get front fog lamps, reverse parking sensors, ABS and driver’s side airbag, automatic climate control, height adjustable driver’s seat, steering mounted audio and phone controls and Bluetooth connectivity over the features in the V trim. Again a variant that could find quite a few takers.
Then comes the Z trim which is expected to be feature rich, and it is. It gets 15 inch alloy wheels, outer chrome door handles, a combination fabric + leather seat upholstery, push button start/stop, reverse parking camera, co-driver airbag, silver finish inserts for the AC vents, rear windshield sun blinds and foot well lamps. If not for the Z+ trim, this could well have passed off as a top-trim with this features list.
