Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which car is the best Ciaz or Slavia?
  • Selecting the right car would depend on several factors such as your budget preference on the segment, features required, cabin space, engine options, brand preference, etc. The Ciaz continues to get the basics of space, ride quality, and ease of driving spot on. This alone, in our books, is enough reason to seriously consider buying one. Then there's the fact that the new engine brings with it a bucketload of efficiency and also solves the automatic’s drinking habit to a fair extent. On the other hand, The Skoda Slavia offers a sweet balance between the alternatives currently available in the segment, blending modern tech with great space, practicality, and driveability. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
Q. Which is better between Ciaz Sigma or S-cross Sigma?
  • The Maruti Ciaz 1.4 Sigma has been discontinued. On the other hand, the S-Cross is a very capable city car. With a petrol engine, it will become even better in its city duties. However, the price will be a big deciding factor. For a better understanding of compatibility and driving comfort, we would suggest you to take a test drive. Follow the link and select your city accordingly for dealership details.

    Drive with the Honda City Hybrid 

    Last month I bought Honda City hybrid after long discussion with my brother. My brother suggest me this because he also heard the same car and is very happy with his purchase. He told me that this Honda City has outstanding fuel efficiency and after buying this I can also say the same. Thanks to its hybrid setup I felt seamless smooth transmission between petrol and debt power. The boot space is also really good and more than enough for 4 or 5 member family trip.

    better version, better rides 

    Starting from a decent price in the market, the Honda city hybrid is a better version of honda city. My sister had bought this model recently and has given excellent feedback on the same. She says that it is quite easy to drive owing to its convenient size. Her favourite thing about this model is its accessibility. The inner cabin is too comfortable and spacious. Exterior is awesome, owing to the maroon colour, it turns heads on road.

    where the best qualities are at 

    Arriving with a promising performance of the Honda City Hybrid which is not only smart in looks but also extraordinary in functionalities. It has been more than six months approximately since I bought this car. All i can say is that it has been built differently and the exterior design steals the attention on the road. thanks to zigwheels for helping to choose right car.

    The Urban Cruiser with a Green Twist 

    I have been driving the Honda City Hybrid for a few months now and it is quite the game changer in the sedan segment. This car offers an impressive fuel economy thanks to its eHEV hybrid technology averaging about 27 km/l which is a blessing with the rising fuel prices. The transition from electric to petrol mode is seamless making city drives smoother and quieter. But its not all smooth sailing. The boot space is somewhat compromised due to the hybrid battery which can be a dealbreaker for those who love long road trips with lots of luggage.

    A Practical Choice for Eco-conscious Drivers 

    I took the plunge and decided to go green with the Honda City Hybrid and it has been an enlightening experience. Right off the bat, the fuel efficiency is phenomenal. It is a joy to skip past fuel stations knowing I am doing my part for the environment while saving money. The transition between electric and petrol power is seamless, enhancing the driving experience without any hiccups.However,the boot space is compromised due to the battery pack, making grocery runs a bit of a puzzle game.

    good mileage and trusty 

    One year after buying the Radiant Red model, I have driven 12,500 kilometers on my Ehev. The pickup is fast and of high quality. Getting around traffic is a breeze. That's ADAS, man. Cooling is top-notch. I love my uncomfortable seat. There are no vents, and there is no non-wired CarPlay. Superior to all others is adaptive cruise control. Good traction on the roads. The best part is the mileage. The maximum city speed is 19.5 km/L. On highways, the speed limit is 26.5 km/L between 85 and 90 km/h. Cargo capacity decreased, but it is still sufficient. The light from the headlights is enough. The remote handling is top-notch. This phone app is in dire need of a redesign. Unfortunately, there is no sports mode. 'D' mode is the only option. An outstanding feature is regenerative braking. Since paddle shifters are typically used for braking, minimal brakes are used. The vehicle remains steady and under control throughout trials at speeds of around 155 km/h. In sum, this is a fantastic vehicle for pleasure.

    Ciaz is one of the most underrated 

    Ciaz is one of the most underrated yet well deserving car from suzuki as it has 4 star safety rating which is not often offered from maruti while giving comfortable ride with a smooth and powerful engine that gives you a punch as soon as you press the accelerator and also has good enough seats, The only cons are the infotainment system and the speaker quality, And finally the boot space is just more than you will ever need.

    Car forward 

    I have been using the Suzuki Ciaz Alpha petrol variant (bs4) for the past three years, And I have completed a total of over 25000 km. The journey was always royal except for some minor incidents which blew away the fun of riding this car. Let me split my review into three parts: the good, The bad and the ugly Good:- 1. The car looks royal and has a pretty good road presence. The dimensions are pretty large, Which provides luxurious leg space and comfort. The second-row seats three people easily without any discomfort. The advantage is that Ciaz doesn't have a bump in the middle of the rear seat, Which makes sitting comfortably. 2. The overall look is pretty, Both front and rear lights are classy. Though the rear light feels like a copycat of BMW, The rear led lights to light up decently. The front light is white led, Which provides better illumination than any other car in the segment. The auto lighting feature, Provided as a feature identifies the range and height of the illumination to be provided on the road. The disadvantage of this is noted in 'the bad'. 3. The ride is joyful, calm, and luxurious. On highways, It feels like floating and moves smoothly, Which feels good. 4. The rear camera clarity is very good, Which gives similar to the 180-degree viewport. 5. The interior of the car looks premium. The premium glossy finish, The wood-like panel in the dashboard, Tan leather seats looks and feels premium. The seats are luxurious, soft and comfortable. Bad:- 1. The auto illuminating light has the disadvantage of auto-adjusting the length and height setting of the illumination. Even when flashing the light or in a high beam, the height of the light is very low. So, If the vehicle from the opposite direction throws light at your eyes, You cannot warn them as your high beam is similar to their low beam. 2. Sound insulation is very bad. You can hear everything outside. Even people talking outside can be heard clearly from inside even if all the windows are closed. The same is the case with the inside voice going out. 3. The Ciaz boasts a premium 4 speaker music system. Which is an average music system. There is an issue with clarity on high and low pitched music. 4. There is an issue with the gear system. Occasionally, The gear doesn't go to the reverse mode. You will have to move the car forward a bit, then stop and put the car in reverse. I initially thought the issue was specific to my car alone, But talking to other Ciaz owners proved that, It was a common issue. 5. You will be offered 20+kmpl mileage by the salesman when buying the car. Never fall for that. I have never got a mileage above 17 km even in eco mode.6.As the dashboard is painted glossy black and the slanting of the windshield is more, When you are driving towards the sunlight, You are blinded as the dashboard is mirrored on the windshield, And you will not be able to see anything. Ugly:- 1. If you leave the car in bright sunlight for a couple of hours, When you get in the car, You will feel a salty, Nauseating smell coming from the air vents. This will go only after turning on the air conditioner for a couple of minutes. 2. Though the car boasts a 1500cc engine, As the weight of the car is more. The power delivery is less. Even on highways, Cars of the lower segment will overtake you very easily leaving you far behind. But, Considering the peaceful and calm ride, That can be ignored. Verdict:- As an overall package. The Ciaz Alpha is a 'not-so-premium' comfortable car to travel long distances, and you will definitely love it.

    Driving experience 

    Driving experience: i have been driving for past 4 years.Everyday on an average >50 km.The driving is pleasant.The vehicle performs optimally in bad road and bumper to bumper traffic.The steering is a bit heavier as compared to tata cars/ hyundai’s.However, In high speed (>80km) the steering response beautifully.Comfort: the cabin is spacious and ambiance is eye pleasing.The second row seats are having good leg room.Downsides: driver seat adjustment is bad.The head space is narrow.The second row passengers do not have adjustable head rest.The glove box is not cooled.The inside cabin noise is moderate.Worse than hyundai and tata.Better than kia seltos.I do not feel any vibration inside cabin.My car runs in petrol.Handling: the car behaves like gentleman in heavy traffic.The pickup is moderate.Not too bad.Maneuvering through road is hassle free.Night driving: the headlights lacks intensity.The fog lights are un-remarkable.I wonder why a reputable company like maruti-suzuki can’t provide better lightings.The most scary is night driving in rain.Almost nothing visible on a tar road.Service: i did service once a year and the average cost is ~12000-14000.The service center personnel are helpful.The battery lasted exactly 3 years.Mileage: in highway >18 km/lin city: ~ 15 km/lmixed conditions: 17 km/l.

    Quality levels 

    Ciaz is not for car enthusiasts.It's a very comfortable car with a lot of legroom and 3 adults can sit comfortably in the rear seat as there isn't a big h**p in the middle.The cabin is very spacious and the beige treatment in the interior gives a good airy feel.The engine is very refined and has good amount of initial torque.But at the final range there isn't enough power output.The engine loves to rev a lot.I personally feel that msil could have given it a 6th gear.The clutch is super-duper light and shifting is so easy.It is an easy car to drive in the city as well as on highways.The steering is very light that it doesn't give any feel or feedback.The suspension is on the softer side and absorbs most of the bumps and potholes very well.There are few issues with the car, That is, There are panel gaps everywhere.Actually the panel gaps are big and the fit and finish isn't great.The quality levels could have been improved both in the interior as well as exterior.Overall the car suits your parents very well but it doesn't inspire the youngsters because ciaz is much of a comfort oriented car and not a sporty one.
