Maruti Suzuki India Limited is the largest car manufacturer in the country. Maruti Suzuki has a lot of cars in its portfolio ranging from the entry-level Alto to the flagship S-Cross. Maruti's market share in the Indian car market is more than 50 per cent and that's because the company makes affordable consumer-centric products. Also, the company keeps updating its products regularly. The carmaker will soon launch the new-generation model of the Celerio hatchback. Ahead of its launch, the upcoming new-gen 2021 Maruti Suzuki Celerio has been spied on test in India once again in clear images.
The Maruti Suzuki Celerio was first launched in India in the year 2014. It was an instant hit owing to multiple reasons. The 2014 Maruti Celerio had a unique two-cylinder diesel engine and it also got the revolutionary AMT technology. The Celerio got a mid-life update in 2017. But, Maruti Suzuki knows that the Celerio is ageing and so the company will soon launch the new-generation Celerio. The new-gen Celerio will be completely new and it has been spied on test in India several times previously too. Just a few days ago, we brought for you the images of the interior of the new-gen Maruti Celerio exclusively on the internet. You can read about it by clicking HERE.
