மாருதி சுஸுகி செலிரியோ [2014-2017] யூசர் ரிவ்யுஸ்

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.

Exteriors Nice exteriors for this segement only. not good for swift and grand i10.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Driver side auto up down window, nice dashboard with aux in and USB. rear window demister. ADDITIONAL DETAILS-maruti suzuki not offer features like start stop and cool glove box.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox 998cc which is good. powered with 68 ps. gearbox is same like  swift. fuel economy is 17kmpl. which is fair. 

Ride Quality & Handling Its meant for city driving purpose mainly. handling is fine. BEST car for ladies especially middle aged ladies who dont like hard driving.

VERDICT: Overall a good small cockpit car with lots of good packed features. fine perfomance , good handling and best comfort and convinience in this segement. But main thing is that if you want all the features and a mannual transmission, BUY IT. if you want auto gear shift equipped with standard features which does not bother you than you can buy it then also. BUT dont visit dealership if yu want both eqipped features as well as auto gear shift as it is not availaible.

Areas of improvement Install auto gear shift in zxi. And it is request to maruti to start installing features like start stop,cool gloved box, rear parking camera and reverse parking sensors othervise sales of suzuki will start declining.

Smooth handling, good fuel economy, good spaceNo auto gear shift in zxi and zxi opt and no outside temp display

Exterior Neither amazing nor boring if you look from front and sides. As everyone else wrote about this time and again, dont expect to turn heads towards you even if you just took this car out of the showroom minutes before. Move to the back, you sure will get a nasty look on your face. It looks like a man walking on the water logged, monsoon hit metro roads hoisting his lungi or dhoti way above his waist. you can see half of the rear wheels from behind. Just forget that part, then you can surely say Maruti engineers did a decent enough job.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I have got a manual ZXi OPTIONAL. While looking at other options, I have to fork out at least another 1 lac to get all the features that I have in this car. So excellent on features. Full marks to Maruti.

Space is where maruti got cheeky. Normaly I like to push by driver seat back as mush as possible. Usually in my DZire (Old model) I'll will be able to push the driver sheet back, almost to one feet from its most forwarded postion. But in this car, the front'n'Back moves for front seats are very limited. I'm still getting used to the up-close to sterring wheel drive. So obiviously, the back side leg room is great. But, we have to accept that, this car gives you better space than its rivals in the same segment. In some cases, its better than the cars one segement above this.

Comfort - To get space, you to compromise on comfort, wherever it is. Its true for this car too. Though you get good support to thighs and all, comfortable long drives are a no-no. (though if you ignore comfort, long drives are really good with its road handling, we will come to that in a bit). Back seats are better equipped, though the attached head rests are a disappointment. you get no support at all for your neck. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

I was pleasantly surprised at the pick up and accelaration of this lil one. you can easily zoom in front of others at traffic signals. Fuel economy at present is showing well below 15kmpl, but I think I have to wait and comment on that after a couple of services. I'll reserve my verdict on this.

Gear box - Shame on Maruti. Whatever issues I had with DZire earlier with reverse gear, i have got it already in this. I dont know from where are they getting these boxes. While all 5 fwd gears are smooth, reverse gear already requires great thurst with your hands to put it in place.

Ride Quality & Handling Another area, which is excellent on this car. Smooth ride and handling in city traffic is seamless. You can easliy cut through the congestion. I have got height adjustable seats, which i have set at its heighest position. This gives you clear views for all four corners and its easy to navigate in peak hours. Only nagging thing on the back of my mind is the protrudding front lamps and back bumbers. Specially the back bumber corners are so sharp (You cant put any buber protector as well due to its design), its almost inevitable to get hit by some two wheeler rider. I'm expecting this to happen in the next month itself :-(

At corners and round about, at high speeds you can feel the body roll, but you can always feel you are in control. I had no worries so far.

Final Words For the price that I have paid (5.72 on road) I'm satisfied with my car. This is my fourth car after 800, Dzire and VW Passat. While one was a legend and another one is on the verge of becoming a legend (only time will say if dzire stands against the like of Amaze & Xcent), this is surely another hit from Maruti. If you are tier 1 or even tier 2 city bound office goer, go for it. If the purpose is something else, forget it. Look elsewhere.

Areas of improvement Back view, Gear Box and interior material quality (Specailly dash board plastics). 

Features, Interior SpacePlastics (Dirt Cheap), View from behind, Gear Transmission

Exterior Front look gives feel of sedan,door handle is looking like a premium model,ground clearance is fine, side ORVM light mirror is so stylish,overall design is good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good space and comfort,dual tone interior gives feal of premium model,audio system is superb,cluster meter gives more information in ZXI(OPTIONAL), shock sensor is available in this, after MGA seat cover inside look is increased again.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I used my car more than 800Km, engine performance is fine, there is no engine sound inside the cabin,Powerful AC, gear box is smooth like same as DZIRE.

Ride Quality & Handling Turning radius is so good, so amall turnings also we can take easily,even at 80Km speed I am able to steer well.

Final Words In ZXI(O), so many features are there after buying only i came to know that, fuel efficency i am getting 21 KMPL, alloy wheels increased car look and also better handling,audio system is really good at this cost.

Areas of improvement Head rest height adjuster need to provide instead of integreated one.

Easy Drive, Spacious inside,good fuel economy,good security system in optional,Breaking performanceBack side design is not much attractive

Exterior

 Good sllek airodynamics for better millage

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Good with good music sytem with bluetooth concectivity. Good leg space in back with comfort seeting

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Good fuel efficency some time more then 21 on highways

Ride Quality & Handling

 Good. Road grip with abs and airbag safety is added future. ZXI(O) is paisa vasul with all the futures it is providing.

Final Words

 Model comes with only 4 alloy wheels and spare tyre is ordinary. It is not mentioned any where is brochures. I booked with seeing vehical. I found it only after 5000 km of driving. I wrote to all people. No one responded. I had paid almost 6 lac weather Rs 5000 will be more for me if I to get spare tyre also alloy type. It is cheap tricks played on customers.

Areas of improvement  

 As said above. Else good vehical to own. I feel satisfied except the above lucuna

 

Good performance and Driving pleasureSuzuki cheap sales tactics

Exterior Front looks very good decent however rear look to be improved.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Excellent.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent, gearbox is bit notchy, tyre sound filters in otherwise very good.

Ride Quality & Handling Very good takes bumps and pothole with ease. I have disc problem this gives a feel of big car from inside 14inch tyre. is less painfull at back when compared with maruti 800 makes it easier for long drives. Drives well in high speeds, twists and turns, incline, ease at corners, easy to overtake, agile.

Final Words Very Good family car to own. Value for money, fuel economy, Better Space, Manual Version is better than AMT specially for non-metro's.

Small size light weight car makes it easier to park. competitor figo, grand i10, i10(high seating), eon, micra, stingray(high seating), ritz, brio, polo etc. Simple and easy car for drivers.

Areas of improvement Rear exterior looks, front is excellent. Roof atenance is to be reduced.

High Seating Clear Visibility like SUV, Good Space, Good Interior, Good Boot Space, Easy to DriveRear exterior Look,Manual Version is not marketed well hence the car have low presence in small city

Exterior Lookwise it was good. I really liked the exterior design, its very appealing.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The height adjustment was nice, which gives better road view and driving comfort.

Ride Quality & Handling I ride only 1200 kms and completed first service. I'm satisfied with the perfomance.

Final Words I recommed this car for all family who wants to afford max of 5 lakhs. Middle variant VXI would be pretty good for all class people.

Areas of improvement Protection plate below engine could be little elevated. In some muddy areas, it may hit and cause damage. Video display is expected in the top end model (ZXI - Opt). Seat cover is not very good.  I personally observed that CELERIO diesel variant produce more sound than SWIFT. May be it was becasue engine capacity (800cc). Idea of brining diesel variant in 800cc was good, but sound is bit more. AC vent hole was missing in the top segment. Front dashboard was very slanting and we couldn't keep any items there. Had it been a straight dashboard, it would look very nice.

Worth purchasing and very compactable for a small familyMinor sound in the pickup of first gear only (not major issue)

Exterior Good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Spacious and comfortable(if driver is below 6 feet).

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox For a small car more than enough.

Ride Quality & Handling Comfortable and easy to drive. If you a are learner it will not just bump into places even if you have a little bit control. Perfect for a city ride. Easy to pass through crowded areas unlike big SUVs.

Final Words If you're looking for a city car within 5/6 lacs this is the best option with Maruti brand value. But if you need power (Fast and furious fans) this is not for you. It has a feel good factor as its easy on your pocket with idle option for daily commute. Overall 4/5 for mini cars.

Areas of improvement Power on hill area is really low. Car gets stopped easily.Leg room can be increased. Fuel consumption is not what was promised. I expected at least 17/18. Its below 15 as of now(after 8 months driving).

Spacious interior, powerLeg room a little low, Fuel consumption inconsistent

Exterior On an average looks good and better from the front.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good features for a car of this range, seating space is comfortable even for 5 people and good headspace as well. Had a comfortable driving experience over both good and rough roads doing about 250kms in a day. The gear console I feel limits the space for drivers to stretch his legs over long drives.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Drove about 1000kms within the first week of purchase in both heavy traffic urban areas as well as highways. Got an average of about 20kms/lt in the highway stretch and about 15kms/lt in the city roads with heavy traffic.

On starting the engine for the first time, the response is not very smooth with some vibration and sound. The positioning of the gear lever is comfortable however I feel the gearbox can be smoother (my older Alto800 I feel was comparatively smoother).

The sluggish nature of the engine response specially during the initial seconds of a gear change specially from 1st to 2nd to 3rd is evident and is something I did not love. However as this is more a family purpose car with safety and comfort being the prime critera this can be a bit ignored.   

Ride Quality & Handling I sailed quite conforfortably at speeds up to 110-120 kms/hour thereafter the engine seemsed to struggle a bit and I did not press further as the roads in my part do make it safe to attempt. Handling was fine for me and could easily negotiate the potholes.   

Final Words A good choice - I am almost satisfied. However not yet sure of the efficacy of all the features as my car is only about 15days old.

Areas of improvement After doing 1000kms the car developed some noise specially from the doors and windows - this needs to be looked into. The antennae can be of a shorter version.
