The Maruti Ciaz platform is comparatively smaller one and won’t serve the purpose for a premium sedan. Speaking about the power-trains, the Kizashi replacement should come equipped with the 1.6-litre DDiS diesel engine producing 118 BHP of power and 320 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox along with an optional automatic transmission. Knowing that the rivals in this segment come equipped with more powerful engines, Maruti Suzuki might consider bringing in the Fiat sourced 2.0-litre MultiJet diesel unit along with its own petrol power-train.
