Maruti Suzuki Ciaz Dual-tone Launched in India at Rs 11.14 Lakh

The NEXA Ciaz has been launched in India by Maruti Suzuki in a new dual-tone iteration with prices starting at Rs 11.14 lakh (ex-showroom) for the Manual variant and Rs 12.34 lakh (ex-showroom) for the Automatic variant. Days after upgrading the Baleno, the Ertiga, and the XL6, Maruti Suzuki has rolled out new safety features and dual-tone exterior shades for the Ciaz. However, the dated sedan receives no additional updates to its technological or comfort features. The top-of-the-line Alpha variant serves as the foundation for the new Maruti Suzuki Ciaz dual-tone mid-size sedan. The Pearl Metallic Opulent Red with Black Roof, Pearl Metallic Grandeur Gray with Black Roof, and Dignity Brown with Black Roof are the three new dual-tone colour options for the NEXA Ciaz. Therefore, ten different colour options are now available for the model, including seven monotone shades: Nexa Blue, Pearl Metallic Dignity Brown, Pearl Midnight Black, Grandeur Grey, Splendid Silver, Opulent Red, and Pearl Arctic White.
