Ranveer Singh Reviews the Maruti Ciaz

Maruti Ciaz is among the most popular C2-segment sedans in the country. It rubs shoulders with the likes of Hyundai Verna, Honda City, Skoda Rapid and VW Vento. Recently, the Verna got a pretty comprehensive facelift, while the Honda City will soon get a generation change. However, it remains to be seen if these sedans will be able to outclass the Ciaz, simply because it offers the kind of value proposition that's pretty tough to match. Anyway, the Ciaz got its mid-cycle facelift in 2018 and today, we decided to bring to your notice a video that shows the Ciaz being reviewed by Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh, who is the brand ambassador of the sedan. In this video, he is walking around the Ciaz and telling all the cosmetical changes and feature updates that the sedan got with the facelift. 

As compared to the pre-facelift model, the ongoing facelifted sedan features subtle styling updates on outside and addition of some new features inside. Ranveer starts the video by showing sedan’s LED headlights, LED fog lamps, and an all-new piano-black grille surrounded with premium chrome strips upfront. On the side, the car got redesigned alloy wheels along with BMW-styled LED taillamps at the back.

Inside, the cabin of the car gets a rear defogger, which is quite useful for monsoon season, built-in glass antenna and 510-litre class-leading luggage space. Ranveer also sits inside the sedan and talks about the generous amount of legroom and headroom on offer.

The sedan features Maruti's SHVS tech for better fuel efficiency 

The ongoing Maruti Ciaz also employs faux wood inserts on the dashboard and door trims, which enhances the overall premium quotient of the car. Moreover, the Bollywood actor also talks about the touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity and also explains it by using the voice commands to make calls and play music. The actor ends video talking about the Maruti’s 1.5-litreSmartHybrid system for better fuel-efficiency. The Ciaz even got a new 1.5-litre petrol engine with the facelift, which went on to replace the earlier 1.4-litre unit. The motor puts out 103 PS of peak power and 138 of Nm of twisting force. The engine comes mated to a 5-speed MT as standard and a 4-speed automatic as optional
