Maruti Suzuki Celerio [2017-2021] User Reviews

Exterior Maruthi Suzuki could have took a little more care for the Exterior design.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Enough amount of space and comfort

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I feel this is a best choise in this price range. I drove my car more than 3000 km, but noticed that the maximum Fuel Economy was 15km/L.

Areas of improvement Plastic quality can be immproved. Please help me out about my Millage problem.

In fact, I wanted to buy MARUTHI Ritz. At that time my son in law advised me to go in for Celerio AMT considering my age. He took the test drive. I booked the car in Feb 14 and they took almost 6 months to deliver.Riding experience is excellent. Maintaiance is very cheap. On long drive it gives 21 mms. Best car for senior citizen.

Celerio is a fuel efficient and value for money car. But the build quality and plastic used in dashboard and door are poor .Its k10 engine is very smooth and maintenance free. I have completed 12000 km in 10 months and it doesn't failed me. However when it passes speed of 80 km/hr the body of the car starts vibrating. If u drive at a speed of 70/80 K.M/Hour it is good and give average of 20-22 km/litre in Highway and 16-18 in city. Its steering response is too good. Suzuki should improve it's built quality.

Exterior Not that attractive from back side. Body metal quality is not good, paint is too weak. Any other vehicle can leave their colour on Celerio post accident.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very good space, even for people at back. Suspensions are bit bumpy but its fine in this car segment. Boot space is surprisingly good. Can fit in two 14kg suitcases easily with size of 2ft. Features wise, you dont get much, not even tachometer. Its kind of mono display. Central locking is good feature, which even locks the boot door as well.

AC is week. Not much cooling in 40 degrees.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Well this is the segment where Celerio dies down. Clutch plates wear out too soon. Gear box is bit jammy. Pickup in second gear is like waking up kumbhakarna. Car just goes into limp home mode. With AC on not the best in segment. Steering assembly gets damaged too soon if you ride in industrial areas with less of tarmac and mostly bumpy roads. After 3 hours of ride, you wont feel like driving as there is need for power. Service centre mechanics just will wash and give back your car untill you complain to higher ups in Maruti.

Ride Quality & Handling Suspensions are okay. But steering is too hard in u-turns, Car just gets locked in sharp turns. Need to manually pull back steering. Given the length good for city roads.

Final Words Buy if you havent driven any car full time. Good car for short distances and in city areas.

Areas of improvement Lot Lot Lot. Writing this review as my car has clocked 58000km.

Interior space no doubt its good. Boot space is very good in this car segment. Liked it a lot.Clutch Plates, Knocking, Steering Assembly, Service centre mechanics

Just a week I purchased it from Guwahati. Mittal Autozone, they are very polite, and response is good. Some of the few accessories I got from them including Rs.1000/- petrol. Other are:mud flap, perfume, idols Important issue I would only like to share is its mileage. City drive; so far I got 12.5 to 13.5 km per/ltr. Long drive: I got 21.5 to 22.5 km per/ltr. Overall its a good car for small family.

Faced power window issue 3 times in 6 months, dealer not giving proper solution. Bad experience with dealer, at the time of purchase sales person call you number of times, when you need there assistant to log your complaints they will not attend your call. They will charge you for their fault, for power window issue which occurs within 2 months they charges me for it. Under the name of free service also they charge you. Pathetic service.

I bought Celerio VXi in March 2014, the very first month after its launch. I have been driving this comfy vehicle regularly and have heaps of praise for its wonderful engine and elegant handling. As the mileage of any vehicle is based upon the driving manners, this Car has consistently given me a mileage of 21KMPL ?? The vehicle needs the regular yearly service and it sustains itself, if driven nicely for next one year. A good and comfortable car for the women and elderly. I feel that this is one of the only cars in India which is giving a 14 inches wheel (R 14) with a 998cc engine that enhances its mileage and superior handling. Bigger tires with a lesser cc engine may be the Physics of efficiency.

Pros- biggest pros is its fuel economy. I dont really think about fuel economy but still gets a fuel economy of around 19.5 almost most of the times. Space is good but carrying 5 persons will be not that comfortable which is not present in other cars in this segment. Good and peppy engine. Cons- ride comfort is not good suspension is very stiff. Seats are not good Outer sheet and interior quality is bad.

Buying Experience Was Good. Ride Quality Is Good. As It Is CNG Pickup Is Not That Great. You Have To Rev Little. Looks Are Subjective But It Is Simple Car. Performance Is Moderate. Average Of Car Is Impressive. City +Highway Average Is Amlost 23. Maintenance Cost Is Around 3000. Talking About Pros Are Average Of Car And Comfort And Legroom, Shoulder Room. Even Though CNG Tank Is In Bootspace You Can Actually Use Some Of It. Talking About Cons Are Performance Is Not That Great. Refinement Could Be Improved And Feature Should Be Added Because Of Competition.
