The Maruti Celerio is a step-up from both the A-Star and the Estilo hatchback. Having lost ground in this segment to other rivals, the Celerio is Maruti's weapon to regain the lost glory. Ofcourse it will also eat into the sales of the Wagon R but on the whole, it will help Maruti gain traction in the Rs 4-5 lac hatchback category.
At 3600mm in length, 1600mm in width and 1560mm in height, the Celerio is 100mm longer and 70mm taller than the A-Star. Its wheelbase is also 65mm longer than both the A-Star and the Estilo - this has in turn allowed Maruti to liberate more room on the inside which is now comparable to cars like the Honda Brio.
The Celerio also benefits from a bigger boot (235 litres as compared to 212 for Estilo and a mere 129 for the A-Star). On the engine front, the Celerio comes with the same 1.0-litre K10 engine that does duty in a number of Maruti cars and as well as with a 800cc, two cylinder diesel engine.
The petrol engine in the light weight Celerio has brisk performance for both city and highway use. True to most Maruti offerings, the Celerio excels on the fuel economy front as well with a rated economy of 23.1kmpl from the petrol engine and X from the diesel engine.
Steering mounted controls, airbags and ABS are all provided as option.
The Celerio is a good all round product and its powertrain options make it even more tempting for those looking for a practical, affordable and economical hatchback.
The interiors of the Maruti Suzuki Celerio are on par with that of other Maruti Suzuki and so are equipment levels. The entry-level LXi variant comes with power steering and air conditioning only while the car gets a fourth ZXi Optional variant packs in all the bells and whistles such as power windows, stereo with steering mounted controls, door trim fabric, driver’s seat height adjust, rear parcel shelf, electric ORVMs, tachometer and tilt steering. Interior space is adequate with lots of headroom and adequate leg room while the width of the car limits comfort for three on the rear seat.

Fuel efficiency has always been one of the main consideration factors among car buyers in India. The prospect of owning a fuel efficient car in India is very lucrative given the fact that city traffic has been constantly rising which in turn hampers fuel economy. But, more fuel efficient cars also play a major role in curbing air pollution. This wh...

Pros Great Interiors,Fuel Efficiency,Comfort,
Cons Average Looks,Average Performance,
I recently bought the automatic version of the Maruti Suzuki Celerio and I have to say that I am very happy with the car. This new automated manual transmission is a good system to be implemented. Because it is essentially the manual gearbox, it has allowed the company to price the automatic version of the car more affordably as compared to the conventional price gap between automatic versions of other cars. The car drives relatively well, the only glitch of the new gearbox is sudden jolts during gearchanges that occur sometimes. The engine of the Maruti Celerio is good and has adequate performance with good fuel economy. And the fact that the automatic version of the Celerio is as fuel efficient as the manual model, only makes the Celerio automatic an even more attractive proposition. The Maruti Suzuki Celerio is also a comfortable car to be in. There is plenty of cabin space and the seats are large and offer generous comfort. It can seat five people in comfort. The boot is also big and a couple of soft bags can be fitted in comfortably. The boot can also be opened conveniently with the handle located on the outside. I have the VXi model of the Maruti Celerio and while it offers reasonable equipment, it would have been even better if there was the option of a top ZXi automatic model of the car.

I have booked for Celeraio zxi Blue on 6th of february 2014 on the day of Launching with Ms.Garuda Autocraft Pvt., Ltd., Bangalore. It is unfortunate the CAR is not delivered and I suspect whether it is being manufactured or not. In case it is under production still how many months it will take for delivery. without using the car no one can give review. Hope to get an replay from you

Went to test drive the car. The car styling is not that great i would say but it is fair enough. There are very less interior features . Music system is not present in versions below Zxi. The car is provided with much space inside and seat also gives adequate comfort. Dashboard of the car is decent however has a build quality isn't that great. The automatic drive or auto gear shift that the company boasts about is basically shifting the gears without the clutch that of-course will offer good comfort when riding in traffic and you will not have to stress you leg much. Adding this feature the car goes ahead from its competitors. Overall the car is decent and a value for money car.

Pros Great Looks,Good Performance,Fuel Efficiency,Comfort,Does not seem as a traditional Maruti Car
Cons ,Limited set of accessories, waiting period for some varients
Exterior Over all good looking car completely differs from the design of traditional Maruti cars which makes it special. This makes it feel its a better and refined product from Maruti. The vehicle may make a good buzz in this segment in the near future. Good thinking Maruti. Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Great dual tone interiors !! making the car to feel bigger due to use of dual colour in the plastics. Car though is not a tall boy has a good height which makes it spacious and as compared to Wagon R. It has more width of nearly about 200mm which makes seating of three persons in the rear seat comfortable and easy. Great comfort by car at this price tag. The suspensions being not too steef and not too sensitive are relief giving. Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good pickup and best fuel economy I dont't think there would be any another car out there giving a fuel economy as Celerio. ( Personally speaking I got about 21kmpl on the manual varient ) Car speeds up till 100kmph in 15 seconds although this parameter is only accountable to top end cars but Celerio at this price tag and specs is quite impressive. As the car is new the gearbox is little stiff.Good thind about the gearbox is it is stable since a lot of noise gets filtered off outside the cabin so very less noise inside. The position of the gearbox is also very comfortable. Expecting it would get smoother on more use. Ride Quality & Handling Very good ride quality the car is stable at high speeds on highways and is not fearsome as Wagon R. (Although Wagon R is only for city come and go ). Not being a tall boy as Wagon R the Celerio has its centre of gravity at a lower height from the ground which makes it a safer car at high speeds. Great stearing wheel. Final Words -- Best car and most probably would be the next super selling car by maruti. True value for money. Pride to own a brand new model of car. This car would successfully handle the competition into this price range and also competes with some of the cars of Maruti itself due to price overlapping. Areas of improvement -- Some set of accessories should come built in the car's Vxi Model and Zxi varient to be in Automatic. Waiting period for Automatic varient. Interior plastic quality.

The automated gear box is a blessing. I bought the celerio 2 days after its launch. I drive around in Bangalore city and its made my drive so much more comfortable. Its easy to drive and the fact that I dont have to press the clutch is very comforting. its a small car and manages way through traffic very easy. interiors do feel a little average but am happy with my purchase.

Pros Fuel Efficiency,
Cons CongestedUncomfortable,
Maruti cars have always been very efficient and my own Dzire gives me 19kmpl in Mumbai and 25kmpl on the highway. The Celerio Diesel will be a dream come true for every car user. Its a small car which is fit for urban use and if you get over 25kmpl in city limits, then this will sell like hot cakes. My main concern however is about the reliability of this new engine. Also, being a two cylinder engine, it might have high vibs and noise levels. Hope Maruti has worked on this front. If Maruti offers AMT gearbox with this diesel motor, then other car makers will loose sleep for sure! Lets see what comes our way in April 2015

Great car with excelletn features. Surely the best launched by Maruti in India. It has good quality interiors with good engine performance. I have been enjoying my drive in this car since the day it came home. It is the first car hence i love it very much. I had been dreaming of this car since the day some rumors started about new car from Maruti in a budget i could afford. This is indeed a very good car for sure.

Cons Average Performance,
You have to pay a small price for the excellent fuel economy that the Celerio diesel offers. For a moment if you forget that its a small engine with just 2 cylinders, then you will start loving the car. We have been using the car for 13 days now and inspite of a new engine, I get 23kmpl on my route from Navi Mumbai to Chembur. This is excellent. Also lot of features have been provided in the car which is a plus point at this price. The same engine is a little noisy but its ok for me as I use music system while driving. I have yet to take the car for a long drive and will do so after the first service. Maruti should think about using this small engine in the Alto 800 also - it will bring down the price further. Good car Maruti - keep it up

I am a proud owner of Celerio VXi Automatic car. I purchased it 5 months back. Since then I enjoy the real pleasure of driving. This is my first car and I had been eagerly waiting for an automatic car. Then I get this wonderful car from a Company like Maruti. So I am thankful for Maruti for providing me such a good vehicle to drive. My overall opinion about my car is wonderful and excellent.
