The side comes with new allow wheels. When it comes to the rear, it seems the facelift versions of the Suzuki Ciaz 2018 will be equipped with LED for the tweaked tail lamps.

Power is hoped to get a boost thanks to a transition from the K14B 1.4L petrol powertrain to the K15B 1.5L engine that the All now Suzuki Ertiga is using. So, with an advancement in the powertrain, the Ciaz will be good for more impressed power figures with 138 Nm of torque and 104.7 PS compared to 130 Nm and 92 PS in the previous model. What’s more, the facelift version will introduce the SHVS mid-hyrid system to the petrol powertrain model.
