Once considered the go-to sedan for the value-conscious Indian buyer, the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz 2025 bids farewell with grace, comfort, and a legacy that refuses to fade.
For years, the Ciaz stood as a symbol of practical luxury — big on space, light on the pocket, and smooth on the road. But in a world now obsessed with SUVs and flashy tech, even legends must make way. Let’s take a nostalgic look at the final lap of the Ciaz.
Design
Simplicity never goes out of style, and the 2025 Ciaz proves just that. With subtle tweaks like a chrome-slatted front grille, LED projector headlamps, and streamlined body lines, it retained a mature, classy vibe. Think of it as a sedan in a tailored suit — sleek, not showy.
Despite the changing market dynamics, the Ciaz maintained its commanding presence with proportions that stretched over 4.4 meters. You got chrome-finished door handles, 18-inch alloy wheels, and LED tail lamps that made it feel premium without shouting it from the rooftops.
Engine
Under the hood, nothing revolutionary — but that was the point. The 2025 Ciaz stuck with its tried-and-tested 1.5L K15B petrol engine. Naturally aspirated and smooth as silk, it was designed for consistency rather than thrills.
With 103 bhp and 138 Nm of torque, it handled city traffic and highway sprints without breaking a sweat.
And while the competition leaned into turbo tech, Maruti played it safe with reliability and efficiency. Plus, Smart Hybrid tech brought features like idle stop-start and torque assist to keep fuel consumption in check.
Mileage
Ah, the magic number that makes or breaks a car in India — mileage. And the Ciaz delivered again. The manual version claimed 20.65 km/l, while the automatic wasn’t far behind at 20.04 km/l (as per ARAI testing).
Variant | Mileage (km/l) |
---|---|
Manual | 20.65 |
Automatic | 20.04 |
That made it one of the most fuel-efficient sedans in its segment. When fuel prices pinch, cars like these are a breath of fresh air.
Performance
The Ciaz never pretended to be a racer. Its strength lay in comfort. The suspension setup was tuned to flatten bumps and potholes, making it ideal for city commutes and long highway drives. Handling was predictable, and power delivery was smooth — just how you’d want it in a family car.
While not a corner carver or a drag-strip champion, it held its own where it mattered: day-to-day usability and consistent performance.
Features
Where the Ciaz slightly lagged behind its rivals was in tech. It had all the basics covered — a 7-inch SmartPlay infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, cruise control, auto climate, and keyless entry.
Rear AC vents and a reversing camera were also standard, along with safety features like dual airbags, ABS with EBD, ISOFIX mounts, and rear parking sensors. Higher trims brought in ESP and hill-hold assist, especially for the automatic variant.
Price
The Ciaz 2025 was priced between ₹9.30 lakh and ₹12.40 lakh (ex-showroom). It sat at a sweet spot, especially for buyers who wanted sedan luxury without the SUV fuss. But with compact SUVs getting flashier, the appeal of sedans like Ciaz started fading.
Model Year | Price Range (₹ Lakh) |
---|---|
2025 | 9.30 – 12.40 |
It was value-packed, no doubt — just not trendy anymore.
It’s bittersweet, really. The 2025 Maruti Suzuki Ciaz was everything it always promised to be: comfortable, efficient, and reliable. It didn’t chase trends — it stayed true to itself. But with SUVs dominating the streets and tech now the main battleground, its time had to come.
If you’re someone who loves an old-school sedan that puts comfort over bling, the final Ciaz is worth remembering. It may not come back, but it left behind a legacy of elegance in the everyday.
