Ciaz Brakes, Identified Before It Ships
The Ciaz sold here as the Ciaz from 2015, facelifted in 2019, and since withdrawn from sale here, so we work from the generation rather than the name on the tailgate to find Suzuki Ciaz second-hand parts, matched to your car
Used, aftermarket and reconditioned parts. Not supplied by Suzuki Auto South Africa.
What we need before we can price brakes
Suzuki builds light cars, and light cars run smaller brake hardware than the equivalent from a European marque — which is why parts that look close on a shelf are frequently not. Derivative matters more than model here: within a single Suzuki nameplate the entry car and the top spec can run different setups, and rear drums persist on the budget end of the range long after rivals moved to discs.
The decision in front of you is usually whether friction material alone will do, or whether the discs have already been skimmed as far as they safely go. To get you a straight answer on it we need the exact derivative, and whether the rear is drum or disc — a quick look through the wheel settles it.
The car
Suzuki Ciaz, year of manufacture, and the derivative if you know it.
The code
VIN or registration number. A photo of the licence disc works just as well.
The problem
What has failed, or what you need replaced. A photo helps for anything cosmetic.
Pick the part your Ciaz is missing
The exact derivative, and whether the rear is drum or disc — a quick look through the wheel settles it will settle most of these. Pick the component and we'll confirm the rest.

The Ciaz reached South Africa as the Ciaz from 2015, facelifted in 2019, and since withdrawn from sale here, running K14B 1.4 (2015–2019) and K15B 1.5 (2019 on). Brakes fitment splits on the generation long before it splits on trim. The 2019 facelift changed the engine as well as the face, moving from the 1.4 K14B to the 1.5 K15B — with the model now off the price list there is no dealer showroom to fall back on, which makes getting that split right the whole job. Find your derivative below, then send the code from the VIN plate with your enquiry.
- Suzuki Ciaz 1.4 GL
- Suzuki Ciaz 1.4 GLX
- Suzuki Ciaz 1.5 GL
- Suzuki Ciaz 1.5 GLX

Ciaz Brakes: the things that actually decide fitment
What shifts across the years
Any brakes question for a Ciaz starts in the same place: which of the Ciaz from 2015, facelifted in 2019, and since withdrawn from sale here are we dealing with?
The 2019 facelift changed the engine as well as the face, moving from the 1.4 K14B to the 1.5 K15B — with the model now off the price list there is no dealer showroom to fall back on, which makes getting that split right the whole job.
Useful to know: the Ciazthe K14B is shared with the first-generation Ertiga and the 2011–2017 Swift.
What we check on brakes
- •The generation code — the Ciaz parts list splits on it
- •Which engine you have; this one was sold with K14B 1.4 (2015–2019) and K15B 1.5 (2019 on)
- •The exact derivative, and whether the rear is drum or disc — a quick look through the wheel settles it
- •Where the car sits either side of its facelift
Locally, the Ciaz is mostly a budget sedan whose owners kept it precisely because it was cheap to run, and who now have no new-car route back — used and aftermarket supply is effectively the only channel. That is the wear pattern we source against, and it is why we ask what the car does rather than only what it is.
Before you order Ciaz brakes
Does brakes fitment change across Ciaz generations?
It does. The Ciaz reached South Africa as the Ciaz from 2015, facelifted in 2019, and since withdrawn from sale here, and the 2019 facelift changed the engine as well as the face, moving from the 1.4 K14B to the 1.5 K15B — with the model now off the price list there is no dealer showroom to fall back on, which makes getting that split right the whole job — which is exactly why we pin the generation down before quoting brakes.
Which Ciaz engines were sold here, and does it affect brakes?
K14B 1.4 (2015–2019) and K15B 1.5 (2019 on). Brakes fitment often follows the engine family rather than the nameplate, so the code on the block is worth reading before you order.
Could brakes from another model fit my Ciaz?
Sometimes, and it is worth knowing where: the K14B is shared with the first-generation Ertiga and the 2011–2017 Swift. Where the hardware is genuinely shared it widens the pool we can search for brakes. We verify the overlap before offering it — we never assume it.
