Maruti Ciaz, the next big ticket from the country's largest auto maker is set to rumble in the domestic market in the next couple of weeks. Although the company has not revealed the exact launch date of Ciaz, the rumour mills have suggested the date as 10 October.
The auto aficionados in the country are drooling over this vehicle for quite some time now. The car, which was caught on camera dozen number of times is coming to the highly competitive sedan market with great expectations of bringing back the maker's name.
We have been reporting extensively on the new Ciaz sedan and the auto enthusiasts here will already have a pretty clear picture of what to expect.
Now, the latest tidbit of information we have is even more interesting. The good chaps at AutoCar India have managed to get the variant wise feature details of Ciaz, which would help the would-be-buyers to decide, which one to go for.
