Review for Maruti Suzuki Celerio ZXI AMT

Exterior Looks good but better with chrome plates. Some good genuine parts are availabe in the dealerships for modification of the exterior.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Space is very good. Kneeroom and headroom is excellent for drivers with height. 5.8 feet, dash looks good but sometimes feels like cheap plastics due to rattle sounds. Most imp thing the bluetooth music system.. very useful

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Around 22kmpl on highways at 80-95kmph and 14-16kmpl in city with ac on both times.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is good but had to turn up the volume to minimise the rattling sounds of the interior and thats when mild rattling again kicks in fron the door panels near the speaker when a song with heavy low ends are played.

Feels punchy in cities, but whenever on the highways and trying to overtake sometimes amt lags the instant punch i am used to in cities.

Handling is very good upto 100kmph. after that vibrations are felt after crossing that. That wont affect cause now a days highways have a speedlimit of 80kmph (or75 not sure) in my state

Final Words Best car for a begineer and people with a tight budget but doesnt seem to fail as a companion for a long time

Areas of improvement Interioir plastics can b improved, abs and two airbags should be mandatory above vxi or vdi models, headlights should be improved with better reflectiors or bulbs. stock lights are not sufficient on the highways during night. Steering and shocks are all good but an upgrade will make them better.

Higher ground clearance was expected in x variant.. this is where kwid wins with 180mm clearance.

I know the engine is the long tested k series engine but a higher cc or retuning the same 1l engine for more power and torque would be better and at last an excellent drl will make the day.

P.S. - SOME THINGS WRITTEN ABOVE ARE ALSO APPLICABLE FOR OTHER TRIMS OF CELERIO.

Good fuel economy, space, styleInterior sounds, stock headlights
