<p>The C-segment sedan category in the country has already witnessed a range of long term players which is majorly governed by the Japanese and Korean manufacturers. But when the home grown largest selling brand, Maruti Suzuki, set its eye on the segment, the result was quite challenging for the foreign brands. Ciaz is technically a replacement for Maruti’s SX4 which did quite well initially but fell short of the much needed razzmatazz in this segment. Since its inception in 2014, Ciaz has managed to entice audiences with its much sophisticated approach and elegant styling. With its slant creases on the corners of the bonnet and a solid four slat chrome grille, the Suzuki logo at the centre makes the Ciaz quite elegant. Letting go off the curved headlights, the Ciaz adapts much angular sweptback projector headlamps that offer a confident stance to this sedan. Looking at its facade, the extended front bumper with all black fog lamp housing and a wide air dam, Suzuki seems to have incorporated a hint of sportiness as well in the sedan. Its inclined windscreen and a deep shoulder line coming from the tail lights highlights the overall design of the Ciaz. The 16 inch multispoke wheels are quite upmarket and they do manage to fit in well with the overall design. But what really seems to be a concern is the rear of this sedan. Ciaz somehow sheds its distinct appeal with tail lights that highly resemble the current generation and market leader Honda City. Not just this, the unnecessary use of plastics, like the faux air vents makes it quite complicated and very confusing from the rear. Brushing that aside, overall, Ciaz does seem to have arrived in style with its rich sophisticated looks.
