The launch date of Maruti's Ciaz sedan is yet to be revealed, but we have already seen the car in various states through spy shots and leaked images.
A fresh batch of spy shots of Ciaz has now hit the web and this time the car was caught on camera during a photoshoot with Bollywood's popular figure Ranveer Singh. In the latest images posted by Rushlane the Ciaz is seen virtually undisguised.

The company has already started the pre-launch campaign for Ciaz and the vehicle has also made its appearance on Maruti's website.
