The Ciaz is a compact car made and manufactured by Japanese carmaker Suzuki. It’s the automotive brand’s entry to the local compact car segment where it competes with other industry staples like the Toyota Vios, Honda City, and Nissan Almera.

Launched in April of 2016, the Suzuki Ciaz was, at some point the largest vehicle in the segment. Today, this vehicle caters to a market of compact cars where it offers a relatively generous boot space. This makes the Suzuki Ciaz an ideal ride for when you want to get around the city.

In fact, the Suzuki Ciaz is a city car through and through as its name was taken from the phrase "City, from A to Z."

Currently, Suzuki Philippines is offering the new Ciaz in a single variant, and it looks like the carmaker will keep it that way, at least until the compact car is due for a refresh or a new generation needs to be introduced.

Like its moniker, Suzuki seems to see no need to add supplementary models as the Ciaz is a complete car — from A to Z.
