Speaking about the refreshed mid-size sedan segment, Ciaz's major rivals will be the Honda City. Since the time India's favorite sedan – City got a diesel heart, it has been clocking 7000+ units every month and counting! Moreover, Ford Fiesta has also received a major facelift recently with a price tag that is pretty competitive while the design makes every head turn at the red lights! Sunny has also received a facelift with added goodies on-board, retaining the roomy cabin. Furthermore, the runner in this segment when it comes to sales – Hyundai Verna is also quite a competitor when it comes to performance and features. Lets see what difference Ciaz will make!

About the engines, the expected powertrain are the Ertiga borrowed 1.4 liter K series naturally aspirated petrol. This engine gathers 93.5bhp (95PS) and 130Nm of max torque, probably be mated to a 5-speed manual while an CVT automatic is likely to be on cards. On the diesel front, the 1.3liter DDiS (Fiat's Multijet) is most likely to power the sedan; the motor belts out 88.8bhp and 200Nm of max torque. Just like the Ertiga, this engine will also be mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Maruti may surprise us with new transmission or any other tweaks to the engines, lets wait for September!
