Comfortable ride and great space for everyone.Amazing boot space for carrying enough luggage for all 4 people travelling.

Nice experience and satisfactory performance.We are satisfied because trouble free journey had been enjoyed.

Best diesel cars have driving ever, Best in all aspects average, Driving comfortable, Setting comfirt

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.

It is luxurious car with lot of boot space and comfortness and mileage incredible

Comfortable with very good milage.Easy to maintain.

Yes this is wonderful car good pickup nice comfort.

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: 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.

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.

A recent weekend trip to the rough roads of Himachal Pradesh was the perfect stage for testing out the Toyota Hilux. This beast’s 2.8L diesel engine with 204 PS did not disappoint for a moment as it goes through the mountainous roads and off road paths. The truck's 4x4 capabilities and high ground clearance made tackling tough surfaces like a piece of cake.The interior of the Hilux offers a comfortable experience with supportive seats and a functional dashboard. But the ride is not as smooth as expected ,compared to SUVs like the Isuzu D-Max V Cross.

Toyota Hilux is a stunning model with modern technology and specifications. I have heard about this model from a friend of mine who has recently purchased this model in an affordable price. He has the black colour of this model which looks magnificent and classy. It comes in only one variant and has automatic type of transmission. Comfort and quality is excellent but headroom is a bit tight that can be a problem for tall people.

Grand with a promising performance of the Toyota Hilux 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

Six months ago I took the plunge and invested in the Toyota Hilux craving the thrill of off road adventures combined with everyday utility. The Hilux with its robust 2.8 liter diesel engine churning out 204 PS and a mighty 500 Nm of torque is a powerhouse ideal for those who demand performance in rough terrains and towing. The Hilux is imposing and commands respect on the road. Inside it is equipped with a decent spread of technological goodies and maintains comfort even in the roughest conditions.

Toyota Hilux is pick up car the available at price range of 30 to 37 lakhs. First Time i am Very impressed with the interior's quality of car. The Exterior design also decent. The Seating arrangement is also very comfortable and provided material is also Very Good quality. but The car gives little low mileage. The Engine Displacement is about 2755 cc. The Transmission Type of car is manual. The Airbags gives safety to the driver. The Pick up and Breaking system is also very impressive. it perfect For my transport businesses.
