Maruti NEXA Ciaz (2016)

Tuesday, 12 November 2024 10:31 PM Maruti Suzuki has confirmed that the Ciaz will not be discontinued in India, despite lower sales. The car continues to have a loyal customer base, and it is also exported to other markets and sold as the Toyota Belta in some regions. I think this decision is wise given the Ciazs reputation and the ongoing demand.

Sunday, 01 September 2019 07:46 AM The Ciaz has been a strong seller in India, with over 270,000 units sold up to September 2019. The top-end Alpha trim accounted for more than 54% of the total sales, and the Nexa Blue color was the most popular choice among buyers. I believe this indicates the cars enduring popularity.

Saturday, 01 April 2017 08:36 AM In April 2017, Maruti Suzuki shifted the sales and distribution of the Ciaz from regular Arena dealerships to the premium Nexa dealerships. This move was aimed at giving the Ciaz a more upscale image and better aligning it with other high-end Maruti Suzuki models. I believe this change helped in maintaining the Ciazs market presence.

Saturday, 31 December 2016 04:30 PM The Ciaz RS variant, which was launched in 2015, was discontinued in December 2016. This variant was available in the Z+ trim with both petrol and diesel engines and featured minor updates such as a body kit and smart play infotainment system. I think the discontinuation was likely due to the limited market appeal of the RS variant.
