Maruti Suzuki has launched the updated Celerio at a starting price of Rs 4.15 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). It is available in 12 variants - 10 petrol and 2 CNG.
On the outside, 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 of changes inside the cabin is 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. The combination of silver accents and door trim fabric design complete the makeover.
The real bonus is in its safety front. The Celerio becomes the seventh model from Maruti Suzuki that meets new car safety norms. It 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.
Mechanically, 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 automated manual transmission (AMT).
9/10 I give to celerio petrol car, overall car is good, only I was disappointed when find the car has less gross weight which does not give good controlling on highway if car is running on speed of 120 km.

A perfect small segment family car with low price and low maintenance cost with great efficiency and mileage. Superb space with great balancing machine..A perfect friendly handling car for specially for Indian roads. Overall it is very good vehicle and worth for the money.There is a very less difference in amount as comparison between LXI or ZXI model around 25000rs/- to 30000rs/-, so it's my opinions go with ZXI model. In this ZXI model you need all things loaded for example alloy wheels... 11
The Celerio might be just another hatchback from the Maruti portfolio for many. However, for the Indo-Japanese auto giant, the hatch has been a potent tool to test uncharted territories. The Celerio was hand picked to feature two crucial firsts for Maruti. The Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) and Maruti’s first indigenously developed diesel motor, the DDiS 125; both first featured on the Celerio before making its way to other hatchbacks. What does the Celerio bring to the table? Let’s find out.
Things We Like in Celerio
Healthy in-cabin space despite the compact proportions.
Peppy petrol and frugal diesel engines.
Safety features such as ABS (Anti Lock Braking System) and Airbags available as an option across the range.
Optional AMT across variants. Easy to drive in the congested city.
Things We Don't Like in Celerio
Jerky shifts on the AMT. Not as smooth as a conventional automatic.
Both engine options best suited to the city; feels underpowered on the highway.
Build quality could have been better; doors shut with a clang - feel slightly flimsy.
Refinement and NVH levels. Tthe 2-cylinder diesel motor sounds coarse and a lot of noise filters inside the cabin.
Stand Out Features
Maruti’s widespread after sales network, there’s simply no beating them at assuring peace of mind.
AMT gearbox makes it super convenient to use inside the city.
CarDekho Verdict
The Celerio is a neutral car, that won’t offend you nor please. It will go about its work in a manner that will ensure peace of mind. Couple that with Maruti’s fantastic service support network, and you have a near perfect ownership experience.
"The Celerio is a neutral car, that won’t offend you nor please."
Yes, it does have few issues like the inconsistent quality, lethargic diesel engine and doesn’t have all the features that some of its competition boast of. But, as a city commuter, the Celerio - especially in its petrol powered avatar will not disappoint.
