While there has been no official word about the car that you’re seeing here, reader Steven Lee has snapped up a picture of a Maruti Suzuki Ciaz in Malaysia – completely undisguised too. This sedan, which was first unveiled in India last September, looks like it’ll be making its way into local Suzuki dealerships sooner rather than later.
Size wise, the Ciaz looks to be in the C-segment class – it’s 4,490 mm long, 1,730 wise and 1,475 mm tall, with a 2,650 mm wheelbase. But in markets like India and Thailand, it’s marketed to go against the B-segment crowd.
The Ciaz is available with four engines, depending on markets. It gets a tiny 1.25 litre K12B four-cylinder petrol engine that delivers 91 PS and 118 Nm in Thailand (where it gains eco car status), and either a 95 PS/130 Nm 1.4 litre petrol or a 1.3 litre DDiS turbodiesel in India. In China, there’s a 121 hp/158 Nm 1.6 litre petrol option too. The transmission is a CVT automatic.
Since this car carries a Maruti badge, it’s likely to have the 1.4 litre petrol engine up front. Dear readers, which engine do you hope Malaysia gets in this one, and what do you think of a C-segment-sized sedan with a B-segment price?

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express interest in the Suzuki Ciaz as a competitive sedan option, noting its suitability for family-oriented buyers and its potential to rival models like the City and Vios. Several suggest Proton rebadging the Ciaz to boost sales while emphasizing strategic concerns, including cost savings and market positioning. Some skeptics warn that Proton rebadging could cannibalize other models or lead to financial issues, with a few referencing possible price ranges and design similarities to other sedans. Overall, reactions are a mix of enthusiasm, skepticism, and strategic analysis.
