    Bolder Styling

    One of the biggest highlights of the 2018 Maruti Suzuki Ciaz is the new and bolder styling. The bland chrome-induced front has made way for a wider and black meshed redesigned grille. The headlight design has been revised as well to match the grille, and now comes with LED daytime running lights. Also new is the bumper design with larger air intakes and new fog lamp enclosures with LED fog lamps. At the side, the 16-inch precision-cut alloy wheels in the dual-tone Metallic Pebble Grey finish are new, while the rear gets minimal changes barring the new LED combination taillights and mildly revised bumper that gets a subtle chrome garnish.

    New Powertrain

    The biggest change on the 2018 Maruti Suzuki Ciaz facelift is the new 1.5-litre K-Series petrol engine. The new motor replaces the 1.4-litre unit that was seen on the predecessor and gets improved figures. The new engine makes 13 per cent more power with 103 bhp available at 6000 rpm, while peak torque out has gone up to 138 Nm at 4400 rpm. The motor comes paired with a 5-speed manual and a 4-speed automatic transmission. The new engine also comes with the automaker's Smart Hybrid by Suzuki (SHVS) technology for improved efficiency and lower emission norms. As a result, the 2018 Ciaz facelift is more fuel efficient despite the bigger engine and returns an ARAI certified figure of 21.56 kmpl, despite the bigger engine.

    The 1.3-litre DDiS diesel engine with 89 bhp and 200 Nm of peak torque, continues to be on offer with the 5-speed manual transmission. The ARAI fuel efficiency figure remains unchanged too at 28.09 kmpl.
