Maruti Suzuki India has today announced their 11th offering in BS6 space of cars and it is the Ciaz this time. As other Marutis, this one is also powered by a petrol-only engine as the diesel has been discontinued. Maruti Nexa also launched a sporty S variant of the Ciaz. Continue below for the updated price list.
The prices of the BS6 Ciaz petrol stars from 8.31 lakhs for the Sigma MT and go all the way up to 11.09 lakhs for the Alpha AT. A detailed variant wise price breakup has been given below. However we don't understand the concept of Rs 10.06 lakh pricing for the S trim as the road tax slab changes at Rs 6 and Rs 10 lakh ex-showroom. If Maruti could have kept the price at Rs 9.99 lakh, or 7000 lower, customers would have had saved about Rs 25-30k due to a lower road tax slab.
