Launch Date | September/October 2017 |
Specifications | 1.4-litre four-cylinder petrol/1.3-litre four-cylinder diesel |

Now retailing from Maruti Suzuki’s Nexa dealerships in India, the Ciaz facelift will feature styling refreshes on exterior and interior fronts. The engines will remain the same but are likely to be tweaked for slightly more power and torque.
