Suzuki debuts Alivio Concept (Maruti Ciaz) at Beijing Auto Show

The near production version of the Maruti Ciaz has premiered at the 2014 Beijing Auto Show, as the Suzuki Alivio. To be launched later this year as the replacement to the SX4 sedan, Concept Alivio is a further refinement toward production model. Suzuki has confirmed that the car would receive a 1,586 cc DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder petrol engine with a newly developed six-speed automatic transmission.

The car measures 4,545 mm long, 1,730 mm wide and 1,475 mm tall.

Re: Maruti Suzuki Plans a New Sedan Codenamed YL1

This car looks good. I donot like the fluidic looks of Hyundai. Fludic cars looks to a overdone. But This car has cool lines and curves and overall it will be a good competetion for Hyundai Verna Fluidic. I feel other companies like Tata and Honda also must come with some cars which have 1.6 litre petrol and diesel engines. This segment of sedans looks interesting for me.

This one is longer than the A3 sedan! Hope Maruti brings in more powerful engines rather than holding onto the engines doing duty in SX4.

Ciaz (for India) will be a shortened version of the Alivio (China market), so do not expect the CIaz to be of the same size. Design cues will be retained to some extent .

Re: Maruti Suzuki Plans a New Sedan Codenamed YL1

For the Indian market, the car will get the same 1,586 cc petrol engine present in the current SX4 but expected with uprated configurations. The current 1,248 cc multi-jet diesel engine present in the SX4 will continue to be used in the Alivio/Ciaz while the top-end variant may als get a 1.6-litre multi-jet diesel. Gear-box options will be a five-speed manual and a newly designed six-speed automatic.

Alivio measuring 4,545 mm long, 1,730 mm wide and 1,475 mm tall, the Alivio has grown to a full C-segment sedan competitor in the league of Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla .

Would be interesting to see how Maruti is going to position the CIaz? Or will Ciaz be a segment lower and different from Alivio - both built on the Authentics platform?

Maruti Stops SX4 Production As Ciaz Set For July Launch

Completing its seven year stint in the Indian C-segment space, Maruti Suzuki has officially ceased production of the SX4 sedan in the country to make way for the all new Ciaz sedan that will be launched in July this year, ahead of the festive season. In spite of having an optimistic start at the time of launch, the SX4 just couldn’t match up to its contemporaries in the segment and soon lost out to the competition, managing a meagre 4029 units in the financial year 2013-14. The Ciaz however, is expected to change the Indian car maker’s fortunes in the segment by being a far more capable product.
Maruti Suzuki has commenced the trial production of the Ciaz sedan at its Manesar facility. Shown as the Authentics concept last year, the Ciaz will be longer than the SX4 with the addition of more premium features and better build quality, something the SX4 lacked immensely. The Ciaz will be powered by the 1.4-litre K-Series petrol motor from the Ertiga and the 1.3-litre DDiS diesel engine producing 90 PS of power. Internationally, Suzuki confirmed that a 1.6-litre petrol engine will be powering the sedan and can possibly make it to India as well in the future.
The SX4 is currently the flagship model that is produced in India in Maruti’s portfolio. However, the lack of equipment and premium feel did not help India’s largest car maker build volumes, especially with competition coming from the likes of the Honda City and Hyundai Verna. The SX4 also received a facelift last year to keep the model fresh, but in vain. The SX4 though did make for a cheap to own, cheap to run sedan offering high ground clearance and spirited engine options. Considering that Maruti already offers good discounts on the SX4, you might just get a new one for a bargain with stock clearance underway.
Maruti Suzuki is pinning huge hopes on the Ciaz sedan. The model in its concept form received a positive response at the Auto Expo and if priced right with the needed goodies on offer, it will surely be a success story. The current segment leader Honda City has gained a sizeable chunk in volumes, followed by the Hyundai Verna and Volkswagen Vento and Maruti too will have to bring an attractive proposition to the segment to compete in the aggressive C-segment sedan space.

Sure looks upmarket, sleek and stylish.
But I have a feeling the tail lamps are a mix of the Honda City and Hyundai Elantra.
But, the interiors are seriously fantastic and looks like a typical German car's dashboard.
Waiting for this Sleek Sedan Ciaz.
