After the successful launch of Vitara, Suzuki has unveiled
yet another powerful and fuel efficient imported car in the local auto market,
this time an ultra-modern Sedan, Suzuki Ciaz.
Renowned actor and Suzuki’s new brand ambassador for Ciaz,
Mr Shehryar Munawar lifted the wraps off the car in Lahore on Wednesday, which
is being directly imported from Thailand with a 1.4 litre powerful, fuel
efficient K- Series engine. MD of Pak Suzuki Mr Hirofumi Nagao and GM Marketing
Pak Suzuki Mr Azam Mirza were also present at the event.
Suzuki Ciaz will be available in both Automatic and Manual
transmission and includes a 3 year warranty that can be availed from over 90
dealerships nationwide.
Suzuki Ciaz Features
Noteworthy features of the luxury Sedan are keyless entry,
ABS brakes with EBD, SRS airbags and an innovative interior.
Suzuki Ciaz Price in Pakistan
The Manual Transmission variant of Ciaz is priced at PKR
1,699,000 while the Automatic Transmission variant comes with a price tag of
PKR 1,839,000.
Stylish and Spacious Design
At a glance, Suzuki Ciaz features a sleek exterior profile
that is designed to enhance aerodynamic efficiency. The spacious interiors
provide ample front and rear leg room. The storage areas are also designed to
maximise practicality and include front and rear cup and bottle holders, centre
arm rest storage area, seats’ rear pockets, and centre lower box storage
compartment.
The boot of the car features 490 litres of storage capacity,
which is more than many local sedans. The price range and engine size put it in
the bracket of Honda City and Toyota Corolla XLi, GLi models.
Ciaz Exterior
While the perception of a car’s design is subjective,
exterior characteristics of Suzuki Ciaz visually stand out.
One feature that sets Ciaz apart from its competition in
Pakistan is the presence of projector headlamps, something often ignored by the
automakers in our country. For instance, you would need to deal with the
reflector halogen headlights from the twentieth century even if you climb the
configuration ladder of a Toyota Corolla and get yourself an Altis Grande for
PKR 2.39 million.
Same goes true for Ciaz’s other competitor, Honda City,
which like Corolla does not give customers the liberty to upgrade to projector
headlamps at the moment.
Ciaz Interior
The interior of Ciaz is probably one of the most understated
elements of the car, an area which is usually the Achilles heel for almost
every entry-level sedan.
Ciaz makes up for the visual sparsity with the help of a
hundred millimeter longer wheelbase, giving it a noticeably roomier cabin than
the one in Honda City. Moreover, power windows, central locking and keyless
entry come standard on Ciaz, all of which are otherwise absent from Toyota
Corolla’s base-level ‘XLI’ trim.
Powerful yet Lightweight
The Ciaz comes equipped with a 1.4 litre engine with VVT
& delivering 91 bhp. With its extremely light weight construction, the car
weighs only 975 kilograms which means that it can deliver a staggering power to
weight ratio of 93 bhp/tonne.
In spite of having a larger footprint, a lighter chassis
enables Ciaz to tip the scales at 1010 kilograms, making it nearly a hundred
kilograms lighter than Honda City and over one hundred and fifty kilograms
lighter than the Toyota Corolla.
Security Features
As far as safety parameters are concerned, the Ciaz comes
equipped with dual frontal airbags, ABS with ED and seat belts with ELR,
pre-tensioners and force limiters. This gives Ciaz a 4 star ASEAN NCAP safety
ratings for adult occupants.
Pak Suzuki’s prolific track record for introducing reliable
vehicles with exclusive warranty continues to bring quality for the Pakistani
consumers and promises to value its commitment and harness the power of
Suzuki’s “Way of Life!” Courtesy, Dawn
