Celerio Zxi(o) The best car with valuue for money.

I purchased my Celerio Zxi(o) in october 2014 and completed 5000 kms in february 2015 and 1st free service done in November,2nd in february 2015.Outside looks are good,especially front with good headlamps,foglamps,chrome grills.Front windsheild is very wide and roadview is good but A pillers are preventing roadview during cornering.Wide doors and windows are very helpfull.Remote doorlocks are very helpfull.

Interior is attractive with duel tone fittings.Front legroom is more than adaquate,backseaters also get more legroom. Widewindows are looks great with adaquate light coming inside. Dashboard is nice looking with digital look for fuel level,average mileage,distance to empty,present kmpl, odometre,trip metre etc.Tachometre shows RPM but temperature guage is absent.Auto lock after 15kmph. A/C is powerful.Pickup is good except in 2nd gear.Dble Din music system with BT, CD, Media, FM. Mobile charger,USB port.With window closed,engine sound is not heard,no vibration in idling. With blower speed in number 2 outof 4,we feel very cold wit A/C.Music system performance is good. Hands free phone connection,Steering mounted controls for these. Bottle holders in doors,near gear shifter.Driver seat hight adjustable.This varient comes with ABS,Duel Airbags,Alloy wheels,Foglamps,Backwindow wiper and defogger.ORVMs are electrically, internally adjustable. Tilting Steering wheel is very light,smooth.Internal facility is very good.

Engine is K10B is very smooth and silent,pickup is great,gearbox is good except 2nd gear which somewhat not so good.During my first 5000 kms I covered 80% in NH and rest are in SH. With continuous A/C on, I got average mileage of 21.5 to 22kmpl,that too with speed not below 80-90kmph. With A/C on and blower speed in 2,with music,we hear talking in normal voice since A/C is also silent. Inside RV mirror/ORVM are day and night so no problem in night driving. I changed headlight bulbs into Extra vision for better illumination.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is smooth, we will not experience potwholes of medium size. 3 members can sit comfortably in backseat.Handling is quite easy/good. Steering is sensitive,quick responsive. Breaking is done with confidence thanks to ABS, Suspension is adaquate. But Maruti showed stingyness in giving ordinery stephiney wheel while all four wheels are alloy.

Final Words This Celerio is my 3rd vehicle from Maruti and I am happy to drive it with all facilities loaded in it. I recommend to car buyers to try celerio Zxi(o) which is equal to C segment cars and its best mileage is a plus point.Most interior parts are similar to Swift but I think there is more space in Celerio than Swift.Boot is 240 ltrs in Celerio.

Areas of improvement Backside shape to be changed,2nd gear performence to be improved.

V.Good Fuel economy,Style,Fully Loaded,smooth Drive.Backside looks,Thin metal body.
