Maruti Suzuki recently launched Celerio at the 12th Auto Expo
2014 in Greater Noida. The Celerio has officially replaced the A-Star in India
and the company claims that with this new car, it offers more than the usual
needs of customers. It is the first car to feature an AMT – automated manual
shift transmission.
Maruti
Suzuki Celerio comes with the same powertrain as seen on the A-Star, Estilo and
Wagon R Stingray. However, the engine has been tuned to deliver better
performance and greater mileage.
The Celerio is already getting close to 1,000
bookings per day and from the rising trend it is evident that the Celerio will
be another success story for the company.

Black grill is beautifully
placed with space between each grill to enable easier flow of air. The counters
used on the bonnet shell gives a updated look than a plane look. Side body
panel is given good lot of attention with introduction of contours running from
top of rear side panel to front fender.
At first
look, Celerio appears broad and bold in styling. Bold clear lens headlights
combined with lengthier chrome grill with Suzuki emblem is the main attraction.
The front bumper is broad and has space for fog lamps.

The wheel arches are given
fine finishing. The door window panels are almost as good as in the earlier
version and won’t make much difference. Outer rear view mirrors are provided
with side indicators in top end variant ie ZXI. The tail door panel is almost
same as earlier version i.e. A star. The difference being name tag, glossy
effect colours, slight variation in tail lamp design.
The door panels have wide
opening and hence getting into the car won’t be a problem. The main attraction
about interiors is the broad dash board. Appealing design of steering wheel
combined with round shaped blower vents, centrally placed music system, dual
tone finishing given to the top model dashboard adds to the good impression.

gear selection version. Seat cushioning is good and integrated head rest adds
to comfort. The rear seat is comfortable for three average sized persons. Door
panels are given options for holding magazines, bottle holders etc.

Driving the car is as good
as driving the earlier version A star. However, one can feel the smooth
performance of the new engine and comfortable driving position. Visibility is
good and somehow the side pillars looks a bit big while gazing at the corners.
