REUTERS: Maruti Suzuki India Ltd, the country’s top car maker, on Monday launched its first new sedan car in seven years, in a bid to break into a segment where it has had little success previously. Maruti will sell the new Ciaz car starting at INR 699,000 ($11,359) ex-showroom in New Delhi, the company said at a launch event near the Indian capital. With the Ciaz, Maruti will take a second stab at a segment in which its SX4 sedan, launched in 2007, has faced tough competition from rivals, including Honda Motor Co and Hyundai Motor Co.
