Spacious, practical and conservatively styled, Maruti Suzuki has hit the sweet spot with he Ciaz. Priced lower than its arch rival - the Honda City, the Ciaz is a very good value for money offering too.

The Toyota Corolla Altis is a safe and predictable choice for those wanting a D-segment sedan. Its well equipped, is very reliable and has low depreciation values.
