The boot space is rated at 313-litre, which is 40 percent more than previous gen Celerio.
The new Celerio is an all-new product from Maruti Suzuki after a long time and is powered by the next-gen K-Series K10C Dual Jet, Dual VVT engine with Idle Start-Stop. The engine is a 1.0-litre unit with MT and AMT gearbox options. It produces 67 bhp and 89 Nm of torque.
Maruti also sells the Celerio X with added body kit in India. With the arrival of the new Celerio, Maruti Suzuki has discontinued both previous-gen Celerio and Celerio X. In India, the Maruti Suzuki Celerio doesn’t have any direct competition. However, cars like Renault Kwid Climber and Hyundai Santro are the indirect competition to the new Celerio.
Speaking on the launch, Mr. Kenichi Ayukawa, Managing Director & CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, said, “The All-New Celerio ticks all the boxes of customer expectation with an unmatched driving experience, unrivalled fuel-efficiency and a host of features that offers comfort, convenience, and safety at an attractive price. The first generation Celerio introduced and democratized the Auto Gear Shift (AGS) two-pedal technology. We are confident that the All-New Celerio with its advanced features, stylish new design, and next-gen powertrain will further appeal to the urban customers and bring the much-needed excitement in the market.”
