Waiting Period of Maruti Suzuki Ciaz in Top 10 Cities

“Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink” lines from 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' suits well to describe the hype of Maruti Suzuki Ciaz. The waiting period of Ciaz soared high up to two to three months in metro cities while there is still three to four weeks of waiting in tier 2 and tier 3 cities. We called dealers across the top ten cities in India and got a kind of same response from each of them. We included four metro cities, Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata along with dealers from Jaipur, Bangalore, Indore, Chandigarh, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad. So lets find out, how’s the latest debutante from India’s ace passenger carmaker is performing.

Metro Cities ( New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata)

On speaking with dealers across the country, one thing that we realised that if you now book the Ciaz hoping for delivery on auspicious occasion of Dhanteras or Diwali, you might be disappointed. Though we like to add here that, dealers do have one or two cars in showrooms but by opting that, you don’t get the luxury to choose your favourite color or specific variant, you just have to buy that particular car only.

In Delhi and NCR, the base variants of Ciaz attract a waiting period of 8 to 12 weeks while the top end model attracts a waiting of 12 to 16 weeks. Talking about the response the car is getting, one of the biggest Maruti Suzuki dealer in Delhi has already received booking of 200 Ciazs. When asked about how much Ciaz are lined up for delivery on Dhanteras and Diwali, he said it mostly depends on the availability of the car from the manufacturer. Though he candidly said, at the festive season, we don’t even get the chance to wipe the dirt off of parked cars with our whole staff busy in the delivery process.

While in Bollywood city, Mumbai our sources told us that around 7000 Ciazs are booked in South West zone. In the commercial capital, Ciaz is clocking a waiting of 2 to 2.5 months. Same is the condition in Chennai and Kolkata.

Other Important Cities

While in Jaipur, Ciaz is attracting a waiting period of one and a half months, depending upon the color and variant. In Ahmedabad and Indore, the waiting period is close to two months. While in Chandigarh, the petrol models are attracting more waiting period than the diesel models. The petrol variants are getting 3 to 4 months of waiting while the diesel models call for 2 to 3 months of waiting.

Moving down the south, dealers at Hyderabad and Bangalore are too busy booking Ciaz. The petrol models are under 4 weeks of waiting while the diesel models are attracting 8 weeks of waiting.

Moreover, with Diwali just a week away, customers looking for quick buy might be deflected to Honda City or Hyundai Verna which are giving a tough competition to Maruti Suzuki Ciaz.
