The Maruti Suzuki Celerio specifications are tuned around one goal, which is stretching a litre of fuel as far as it will go. The 1.0 litre K10C petrol makes 67.77 bhp and 91.1 Nm, modest figures that suit its light body. The spec sheet stays simple and honest.
Two gearboxes cover the petrol car, a 5 speed manual and the AGS automated manual. The AGS is the one to read closely, since it is the more efficient of the pair on paper. The CNG variant keeps the manual and trades a little power for cleaner running.
Economy is where the numbers shine. The petrol manual is rated at 25.24 kmpl, the AGS climbs to 26.68 kmpl, and the S-CNG reaches 34.43 km/kg. That CNG figure is one of the best you will find on any car sold here.
Cabin space is generous for the outside size, with an upright roof that frees up headroom front and back. Five people fit for short trips, and the boot handles a city load. Light kerb weight is a big reason the mileage reads so well. The tall glasshouse also makes parking easy, since you can see all four corners. The boot copes fine with a weekly grocery run for a small family.
On safety, every Celerio carries dual airbags, ABS with EBD and a reverse parking sensor as standard. Higher trims layer on convenience features that lift the daily feel. After the spec check, see the Celerio price for your city and look through its paint options.
