2021 Maruti Suzuki Celerio Price in India, Features, Specifications Highlights: India’s largest carmaker, Maruti Suzuki, has launched the all-new Celerio in India today. The new 2021 Maruti Suzuki Celerio is said to be India’s most fuel-efficient petrol car with a claimed fuel efficiency of up to 26.68 kmpl. Bookings for the new 2021 Maruti Suzuki Celerio started a few days back at a minimum token amount of Rs 11,000. The interested customers can book the car either at the company’s official website or by visiting their nearest Arena dealership. Based on the fifth-generation Heartect platform, the new 2021 Celerio gets fresh exteriors and interiors that should make it even more desirable than before. Broadly speaking, as compared to the quite squarish looks of the outgoing model, the new Celerio has a rounded design. Moreover, the interiors are new and the party piece here is the company’s SmartPlay Studio infotainment system with a 7.0-inch screen that supports both Android Auto as well as Apple CarPlay connectivity. Its steering wheel and instrument cluster have been shared with the Wagon R. The prices of the new 2021 Maruti Suzuki Celerio start at Rs 4.99 lakh and they go up to Rs 6.94 lakh, ex-showroom Delhi.

Design and Dimensions

The new-gen Maruti Suzuki Celerio has been developed from the ground up and in terms of dimensions, it is expected to be slightly bigger than the outgoing model. It has already started arriving at dealerships and the latest images reveal that it will get a completely new design. At the front, it features a studded grille with chrome accents and Suzuki’s logo. The headlamps are conventional units with no LEDs and it gets blacked-out multi-spoke alloy wheels. It sports lift-to-open type handles on all doors and the boot lid houses a rear-parking camera too

Interior and Features

Maruti Suzuki has completely revamped the interior of the new-generation Celerio and it looks quite modern when compared to its predecessor. The images snapped at the dealership reveal that the new Celerio gets the same steering wheel and instrument cluster that we get to see on the WagonR too. It sports a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. The dashboard now also houses the power window switches.

Engine and Gearbox

The new Maruti Suzuki Celerio is expected to share its mechanicals with the WagonR. It will get the same 1.0-litre petrol engine as before that develops 66hp and 90Nm. However, this time, the company might also offer the powerful 1.2-litre petrol engine that’s good for 81hp and 113Nm. Both the engines will come mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox and an AMT (AGS). The carmaker might also offer a CNG version with the new Celerio. Moreover, the company is claiming that the new Celerio will be India’s most fuel-efficient petrol car.

Launch Date and Price

Maruti Suzuki will launch the new-generation Celerio in India today, i.e. on November 10, 2021. The outgoing Maruti Suzuki Celerio was priced between Rs 4.65 lakh – Rs 6.00 lakh, ex-showroom Delhi, and we expect the upcoming new-gen model to charge a slight premium over the current prices. The new Maruti Suzuki Celerio will rival the likes of Tata Tiago, Hyundai Santro, Maruti Suzuki Wagon R, etc.
