It went on sale for the first time in India, the largest market for Suzuki in September 2014.^[2] As of 2022^[update], it is the larger model of two sedans produced by Suzuki, the other being the Dzire.

The Ciaz has been rebadged and marketed by Toyota as the Toyota Belta since 2021 for certain African markets.
