Maruti’s Ciaz is expected to adopt a more aggressive front fascia with a wider grille and slimmer headlamps. The rear will feature a subtle roofline dip, giving it a sportier silhouette.

All three cars will stay within the 1.5‑litre petrol engine family, a sweet spot for the segment. Hyundai sticks with its 1.5 L Kappa engine delivering 115 hp and ~18 kmpl.
