Maruti Suzuki is expected to launch the new-gen Celerio on 10 November 2021. But ahead of its official debut, the compact hatchback has started reaching dealerships across the country. Select dealerships have also begun accepting its unofficial bookings for a token amount of Rs 5,000. However, the test drives are yet to begin.
The 2021 Maruti Suzuki Celerio is likely to be available in four variants – LXi, VXi, ZXi, and ZXi+. It will be powered by a new 1.0-liter 3-cylinder DualJet petrol engine that will come with idle start/stop technology. It is expected to offer a segment-leading fuel efficiency of around 26kmpl. Similar to the ongoing model, it could also get the factory-fitted CNG mill at a later stage.
Compared to its predecessor, the new Celerio will get an all-new exterior and interior design along with a host of new features like smart-looking black alloy wheels, a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple Carplay and Android Auto, new steering wheel with audio & telephony controls, a single-pod instrument cluster with a circular digital readout, etc. Click here for more details.
The other notable features onboard will include front fog lamps, height-adjustable driver’s seat, electronically adjustable outside rear-view mirrors, central locking with keyless entry, 60:40 rear split seat, day/night IRVM, rear defogger, rear washer & wiper, dual-front airbags, anti-theft security system, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, and much more.
The new Maruti Celerio is likely to be priced from Rs 4.7 lakh to Rs 6.5 lakh (ex-showroom). It will rekindle its rivalry against the likes of Hyundai Santro, Tata Tiago, and Datsun GO.
