With its strong focus on comfort, practicality, and low maintenance costs, the Maruti Ciaz continues to be a popular choice among family car buyers and urban commuters in the Indian market.
To be honest, the Ciaz has not seen any update for a long time and the competition kept giving newer models to the buyers. Cars like Virtus and Slavia drew more audience towards itself and at the time, Maruti had nothing to the buyers except for the same old model of Ciaz. This made the car slowly fade away and sold no units last month.

Citroen is making good products, but do not have any USP for the buyers that makes any difference to own a Citroen.
