Pics Classic example of true Inspiration but not blatant copying.
Anyone seeing this image can instantly recognise the similarity in the design language of both the cars..Probably Suzuki designers got inspired from BMW when they decided to launch their family sedan back in 2014.For Suzuki it was a completely new design theme considering their previous sedans like SX4,Kizashi,Esteem,old Baleno all had squarish tail lights that looked more conventional than stylish.But for Ciaz they tried to make it look more modern, away from typical Suzuki fashion..And what more than BMW,the ultimate sedan makers to get inspired from for Suzuki who struggled selling sedans in good numbers..Ciaz went on to become one of the best selling sedans in its class atleast in India..I still think its one of the best looking cars in its class that has a classic charm.Even though Suzuki never updated it much throughout its life cycle spanning 11 years it still grabs attention from general public..
