Maruti Suzuki has shifted the sale of the Ciaz sedan to the Nexa sales channel. The Nexa dealership network has been exclusively established to cater to customers of Maruti’s more premium products, including the Baleno, S-Cross and Ignis. At the time of launch of the Ciaz, the Nexa dealerships were not in place. So, the Ciaz continued to be sold through the normal Maruti Suzuki outlets. Maruti officially moved the Ciaz to Nexa dealerships on April 1, 2017. The sedan also follows a new nomenclature for the variant lineup. Read on to know more about the 2017 Maruti Suzuki Ciaz that is now being sold through Nexa dealerships.

At the same time, Ciaz will help us achieve our sustained long term goal of 20% sales through NEXA.”
