Celerio CNG

Exterior

I felt the styling to be attractive and better in aero-dynamics compared to Wagon-R.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Roomy and spacious interior, much better when compared to most cars in the mid-segment though at a much competitive cost. Comfortable seats even for the rear seat passengers giving excellent leg room and no arm nudging around!😊 The ride is very comfortable and is a pleasurable experience.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

I have driven the Celerio Vxi CNG for 2500+ kms during the last 2 months and been very satisfied so far. The engine is very silent and gives good pickup even on the CNG and with AC on. Gear shifting is no pain at all and very soft to the drivers arm. The new K10B engine is certainly a winner.

What I have liked is the fuel economy which has been around 20 - 25 km / kg of CNG in Mumbai traffic,  this is while the drive being partly on highway and partly in city traffic and having the AC almost always on. Surely it is a good bet and I have saved a good amount compared to my petrol car earlier.

Ride Quality & Handling

The ride is very smooth and noise-free. The shock abs are pretty good and handle the road bumps nicely. Gear box is also very smooth. The car is extremely steady at speeds of about 100-120, not wobbly at all and had good braking stability, it's broader tyres to count on. In all a great driving pleasure and long drives are a breeze.

Final Words

An excellent choice for the mid-segment and price and fuel economy concious class.

Areas of improvement  

Would have been a greater appeal if Maruti Suzuki adds some more attractive vibrant colours to choose from instead of the standard colours specially considering the young buyer in mind.

The exterior paint quality can be better.

 

Very spacious, comfortable drive, good pickup and easy handlingExterior paint seems to be too thin, easily scratches
