As you can see in the images we have here, the test mule of the upcoming 2018 Maruti Ciaz facelift is currently testing with a heavy dose of camouflage. However, we are pretty sure that the India-spec car would look a lot like the Suzuki Alivio Pro. While the rear won’t have many changes to speak of, the front-end will carry a new radiator grille, updated front bumper, and possibly refreshed headlights. The new grille would have two horizontal slates and will become the major highlight of the new look. The interior is also likely to get some minor visual changes and some new features.
