The Ciaz facelift was launched in August 2018 with ex-showroom prices of Rs. 8.19 lakh for the base Ciaz Sigma petrol and Rs. 10.97 lakh for the top-spec Alpha trim. The older 1.4-litre petrol engine was ditched and replaced with a marginally larger 1.5-litre, four-cylinder K15B unit that for the first time on a Maruti petrol, comes equipped with SHVS. It is capable of delivering 104.7 PS at 6,000 rpm and 138 Nm of peak torque at 4,400 rpm and is paired with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission.

The current model also comes with a diesel option which is still powered by 1.3-litre DDiS 200 mill capable of 90 PS at 4,000 rpm and 200 Nm at 1,750 rpm. However, it will be soon replaced by an all-new 1.5-litre DDiS 225 diesel powertrain in 2019 Ciaz diesel option. Although the four-cylinder engine on the 2019 Ciaz does not come with SHVS technology, it pumps out more power and torque than the outgoing engine – 95 PS power at 4,000 rpm and 225 Nm of torque delivered at 1,500-2,500 rpm.

The new engine will come paired to a six-speed manual transmission with an overall fuel efficiency of 26.82 kmpl. Although the 2019 Ciaz diesel is less powerful than the Hyundai Verna's 1.6-litre diesel (128 PS), it helps narrow the gap. The Ciaz’s sales in India was 50,759 units last year with year-over-year sales down by 18 per cent.
