The Maruti Suzuki Celerio is a good family hatchback. It has comfy seats, a great cabin, and a thrifty petrol engine. The fuel efficiency is top-class in its segment and the CNG option is the cherry on top. The build quality is decent. The competition offers a stronger build and more safety features. But, the Celerio is a great car to consider if you want something different from Wagon R and Swift.

Pros & Cons of Maruti Suzuki Celerio

• What we admire in this car

  • The car has great features. These include push button start/stop, a 9” Smartplay infotainment system, hill hold assist, and more.
  • Has great seating comfort with practical boot space for your luggage.
  • The company-fitted CNG option makes it much safer. It also has great fuel efficiency.
  • Has decent interiors with a black cabin giving a robust ambiance.

• What could have been better

  • It has a frugal 3-cylinder petrol engine which has evident vibrations in the interiors.
  • The fit-finish of the interiors could have been improved, competitors offer better ambiance
  • High-speed stability is quite underconfident.
  • Could have been added with more safety features.

Good-looking Design Language With Good Aesthetics 3.5

• The design of the Celerio is quite appealing over its predecessor. The subtle presence of chrome in the front enhances the premium appearance. The halogen setup for the headlights gives a basic treatment and has a decent throw at night. The competition offers a better setup for the headlights. The black theme on the bumper helps to reduce the visual bulk and gives a good face.
• Coming to the side, it has 15” alloy wheels in the ZXI+ variant, and the lower variants have 14” steel wheels with wheel covers. It has some cuts and creases that enhance the premium aesthetics. The door handles are now old-schooled but get request buttons for the passive entry. 
• At the rear, it has a similar design to that of the front. The taillamps are halogen units but it has a similar design to the headlights. The rear is plain and basic and has decent boot space for your luggage. Overall, it has simple style. It stays simple to keep down the cost of the vehicle.

Simple Interiors With Good Features On Offer 3.5

• As we step inside the Celerio, the interiors are all-new fresh, and have a simplistic layout. The space is well managed and the cabin practicality is on to the mark. The fit-finish quality of the dashboard is decent. There are many hard plastics present. 
• The car has some quirky button placement. For example, the front power window controls are in the dashboard's center console. They are with the car lock/unlock button.
• The steering wheel is the same unit as the Wagon R. The 9” Smartplay infotainment system is slick to use. It has wired connectivity for Apple Carplay and Android Auto. The dashboard is neat with silver accents. The manual air conditioning could have been updated to automatic control.

Frugal Petrol Engine With Great Fuel Efficiency 4

• The Maruti Suzuki Celerio has the same petrol engine as the S-Presso, Wagon R, and Alto K10. It is the same 1.0 L K10C inline 3-cylinder petrol engine that has powered Maruti Suzuki vehicles for more than a decade. 
• Talking about the specifications, this 1L motor churns out 68 BHP and 96 Nm of peak torque. This motor is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission and an AMT transmission.
• This motor comes with a CNG option as well which produces 54 BHP of output and 72 Nm of torque. This configuration is extremely fuel-efficient and has an efficiency of approximately 30-32 km/KG.
• The motor is decently refined and has a decent grunt on offer. It is not meant for high speeds and low-speed rides are pretty comfortable. The engine has some vibrations and noise that get filtered in the cabin.
• The petrol engine has a claimed fuel efficiency of 26 km/L. In the city, it will get about 22-24 km/L, depending on driving conditions. 

Celerio engine specifications:

Transmission	Manual & Automatic (AGS)
Mileage	24.97 kmpl to 34.43 kmpl
Engine	998 cc
Power	67.56 bhp @ 5600 rpm
Torque	89 Nm @ 3500 rpm
Drive Train	FWD

Good Seating Comfort Well Tuned Suspension 4

• Coming to seating comfort the Maruti Suzuki Celerio offers a comfortable space to be in. It has a good seat cushioning in the front but the fixed headrests take away the joy. 
• The rear seats offer good space. There is great knee room, and leg room on offer and the cabin is decently wide for 3 passengers. However, it could have been added with rear AC vents to add more comfort for the rear passengers. 
• The suspension of the Celerio is tuned on the softer side. It absorbs bumps and potholes very well but there is some body roll that is felt on corners. At high speeds, the ride becomes a bit bouncy, and bad roads and expansion joints filter inside the cabin.
• The steering wheel is very light and feels vague at times. It could have been added with more weight to provide more stability and feedback. The wheels are also a bit slim in profile and upgrading them would increase the stability.

  This is a good, low-cost car with excellent mileage and reasonable maintenance costs. It offers great safety with a minimum of 2 airbags and provides a comfortable driving experience with good visibility. I have been driving it since January 2023, single-owned, and have covered over 1 lakh kilometers without changing the OEM tires—only the battery has been replaced. The car also holds the best resale value.

  Efficient Yet Unsafe
  The car is good but not very safe. It has low maintenance and is fuel efficient. The engine is good and smooth, but there is some power lag. Features are poor. Overall, the car is good, but driving on the highway feels a little risky. It is value for money. The look is okay. Overall, a good car.

  Value Package
  This is a good vehicle with excellent claimed mileage and is perfect for a small family. It comes with all power windows, central remote locking, an automatic off feature, dual airbags, and music controls on the steering. The stepney is still unused, which shows how reliable the car has been. Overall, a great and practical choice.
