Maruti Suzuki updated its Celerio in October, 2017, with subtle changes to the hatchback’s exterior and interior. At a starting price of Rs 4.15 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), the Celerio facelift is available in 12 variants - 10 petrol and 2 CNG. The diesel Celerio was discontinued earlier this year and the carmaker looks like it’s in no mood to re-launch it anytime soon.

The Celerio facelift gets a sporty mesh grille, a chrome lining on the bonnet, redesigned fog lamp housings, and restyled front and rear bumpers. The highlight inside the cabin includes the new dual-tone black-and-greige theme. The greige (a portmanteau of grey and beige) seats also get abstract patterns to liven up the cabin. Adding more oomph to the cabin is a combination of silver accents and door trim fabric designs.

Being the seventh Maruti Suzuki model to meet the new safety norms, the Celerio now comes with a driver’s airbags as standard. The kit also includes a seatbelt reminder for the driver. Additionally, ABS and passenger airbags are offered as optional extras on all variants.

Under the bonnet, it is powered by the same 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder engine that produces 68PS of power (59PS for CNG) and 90Nm of torque (78Nm for CNG). Transmission duties are handled either by a 5-speed manual or an auto gear shift (AGS), which is commonly known as an automated manual transmission (AMT). It returns with impressive fuel efficiency figures of 23.1kmpl and 31.79km/kg for petrol and CNG variants, respectively.

Take a look at what all has gone into the recipe of the Celerio to result in a rugged-looking version, the CelerioX, here: Maruti Suzuki Celerio vs CelerioX
