2019 Suzuki Ciaz Review 

Suzuki has built a reputation for producing dependable and distinctive small SUVs over the years. Suzuki decided to enter the field of entry-level saloon automobiles since the automotive industry is continuously changing. One of the saloon cars produced by the giant automobile is the Suzuki Ciaz.

Detailed Review

The Ciaz was first introduced in 2014 to replace (or at least compliment) the aging SX4 sedan. Currently, in its 2nd generation, the Suzuki Ciaz has been refurbished and topped up with new technology that set it apart from its competitors.

The 2019 Ciaz has only one engine option which is a 1.4 liter inline-4 capable of making up to 91 horsepower and 132 Nm of torque.

Interior

The 2019 Suzuki Ciaz interior features well-spaced controls on the dashboard and a black color scheme. The 2019 Ciaz sedan boasts plenty of legroom thanks to its long wheelbase, but the rear seats may have headroom issues, especially for larger passengers. While the Ciaz’s sloping roofline gives it a sporty look but appears to limit passenger headroom.

Interior Technology 

Suzuki has modernized the infotainment system for the Ciaz, adding some much-needed digitalization to the interior. Currently, the infotainment system has a 7-inch touchscreen with a feed from a reverse-view camera, which is unusual in this segment.

Cabin Storage

The Suzuki Ciaz 2019 trunk has a big load capacity of 495 liters, which is ideal for people who are constantly on the move. When compared to the Toyota Vios’ 326 liters, the Ciaz is the car to have if you plan on hauling a lot of items on a regular basis. The Ciaz cabin contains several cubby holes, cup holders, and door pockets.

Safety Features

The 2019 Ciaz comes with dual airbags up front, anti-lock braking, EBD, child safety locks and a push start button.

Exterior

The first thing you’ll notice about the 2019 Suzuki Ciaz exterior is its size in comparison to its competitors. The huge taillights and headlights, as well as the wide, chrome, horizontally oriented grille, all contribute to the car’s visual mass. In general, the 2019 Suzuki Ciaz is a stylish vehicle that could easily be mistaken for a much more expensive luxury sedan.

Fuel Consumption

The 2019 Suzuki Ciaz uses 5.5L per 100 kilometers. 

Ground Clearance

The 2019 Suzuki Ciaz has a ground clearance of 170 mm. Read our guidelines here on how to safely increase a vehicle’s ground clearance.

Stability and Handling

The car’s suspension system is solid and comfortable inside the city, and the stability is good. Clan at high speeds, for example, 120 mph and above, the car’s stability deteriorates and the steering wheel also becomes unstable. Overall, it’s a comfortable car to drive and can easily navigate both provincial, winding, mountainous roads, and congested city traffic. The Ciaz lacks the agile handling of a Honda Civic, despite having minimal body roll, smooth shifting, and great fuel efficiency.

Service Intervals
Minor Service: At 5,000 km. Requires Air Cleaner, Oil Filter, and Engine Oil
Major Service: At 10,000km. Requires Air Cleaner, Oil Filter, Fuel Filter, ATF Filter, Cabin Filter, Plugs, Front Brake Pads, Rear Brake Pads, ATF Oil, and Engine Oil
