Transmission for the Suzuki Ciaz
New, aftermarket and good used transmission for the Ciaz, checked before anything is packed — always Suzuki Ciaz used spares, matched to your car rather than to the badge
Used, aftermarket and reconditioned parts. Not supplied by Suzuki Auto South Africa.
Getting transmission right first time
Suzuki fields three quite different automatics locally — a conventional torque-converter automatic, a CVT, and the AMT automated manual used on the budget cars. The AMT is a manual gearbox with an actuator bolted to it, so its parts have nothing in common with either of the others despite all three being sold as "auto". Getting that wrong is the most expensive mistake on this page.
The decision in front of you is usually whether a repair, a reconditioned unit or a good used gearbox represents the best value on a car of this age. To get you a straight answer on it we need whether the car is manual, AMT, CVT or a conventional automatic, plus which engine sits in front of 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
Whether the car is manual, AMT, CVT or a conventional automatic, plus which engine sits in front of 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The Ciaz reached South Africa as the Ciaz from 2015, facelifted in 2019, and since withdrawn from sale here, running K14B 1.4 (2015–2019) and K15B 1.5 (2019 on). Transmission 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

What a parts desk needs to hear about your Ciaz
What shifts across the years
There is no single Ciaz for parts purposes — the Ciaz from 2015, facelifted in 2019, and since withdrawn from sale here have all been sold here.
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 transmission
- •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)
- •Whether the car is manual, AMT, CVT or a conventional automatic, plus which engine sits in front of 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.
Ciaz Transmission FAQs
Does transmission fitment change across Ciaz generations?
Yes, and on transmission it is the first thing we check. The Ciaz sold here 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. Give us the year or the code and the rest follows quickly.
Which Ciaz engines were sold here, and does it affect transmission?
K14B 1.4 (2015–2019) and K15B 1.5 (2019 on). Transmission fitment often follows the engine family rather than the nameplate, so the code on the block is worth reading before you order.
Could transmission 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 transmission. We verify the overlap before offering it — we never assume it.
