The grille now gets a subtler chrome accent along with a blacked-out design, which has a sleeker finish compared to the old model. The Ciaz’s new bumper now has a more muscular, and sporty appeal. Another highlight of the 2021 Suzuki Ciaz is its LED headlights, which is a welcome upgrade from the halogens fitted on the outgoing model.

The side profile, and the rear of the Ciaz retain the design of its predecessor. It still comes with the familiar character lines seen on the old model as well as the same taillight design.
