Maruti Celerio seems to be a sure winner
The Hindu
With ample modifications to its interiors and exteriors, the four wheeler offers most of what typical urbanites want — an easy drive, spacious design and the tag of being India’s most fuel-efficient car
The new second-gen Maruti Celerio is said to be the country’s most fuel-efficient petrol car. However, there is more to this hatchback than just that. It is now slightly larger than before, is new inside and out, sits on Maruti’s new-age Heartect platform and has a new engine under the hood too. As before, there are manual and AMT options, with prices for the midsized hatchback ranging from ₹4.99 lakh to ₹6.94 lakh (ex-showroom India). So what is the new Celerio like?
Maruti has gone in for a clean slate design with no visual links between the new Celerio and its predecessor. While the original was conservative to look at, the new one is more cheerful with a more rounded shape that looks better in person. It is not a classically handsome car, but the new Celerio sure has more presence than the old one. The slightly larger dimensions (it is 55mm wider) help to this end too.
The oval grille flanked by the curved, swept-back headlamps give the Celerio a cutesy face with the blacked-out section on the bumper adding a touch of sportiness to the design. At the sides, you will note fairly thick ‘A’ and ‘C’ pillars, a conventional glasshouse and soft contours at the doors and wheel arches. Top-spec models ride on darkened 15-inch alloy wheels.
