2021 Maruti Celerio First Drive Review I Ideal First Car But… | ZigWheels.com

Hi, This is a review of maruti celerio 2022 model and 15000kms driven First of the cons - 1.Build quality(I shouldn't say about this, as I get great fuel economy, but still, it's unsafe as per today's standard,specially on highways) 2.Design(It doesn't have modern elements like DRLs, Led tail lamps, the power window switch are positioned in centre which is less convenient) 3.Highway driveability(It's OK but could be better, The soft suspensions becomes little bouncy and harsh at high speeds, At high speeds, potholes can be felt inside cabin,just like most of the cars in it segment) 4.Power steering-(It's poor, not for people who like driving, It's okish, does not self centre automatically, service centre says it's common for celerio and ignis) 5.Highway performance-(Its performance is decent on highways, actually better than some of its competitors, but still that 3 cyl 1.0L Na engine cannot make quick overtakes, If it's under full load 4-5 people on board, The power is not very punchy just like most car in the segment, but still It's good enough and gets the job done, and for those who love driving, this engine will not suffice .It definitely needs the 1.2L option too) Features-No rear camera ,average quality music system and no adjustable headrest Pricing- Overpriced- For top models, you can also get a base i20 or baleno, which are far better Now the Pros, which has convinced me to keep this car for long- 1.The engine (As I mentioned earlier, The engine performance is not very punchy on highways, But for city, It's more than ample, The low end is good and mid range is strong, It's only when on highways with 4-5 people, I start to wish it would had more power for quick overtakes,otherwise it's fine or even better than few cars in it's segment, The engine for 3 cyl is quite refined and provides smooth acceleration) The space-(Yes, from outside, it looks small, but from inside 4 large people can sit comfortably or even 5 people too, if they are not above 6 feet, The seats are comfy for it's segment and boot space is around 300L which is also quite good, that's why I like this car) The tires- Stock 175/60 R15 alloys as standard from the company, provides good amount of traction and looks The supension are comfy for city driving . The best part is the fuel efficiency for which I have to forgive it's cons, In city -16-20(in bumper to bumper 14-15) petrol On highways- 90-100(25-26) petrol Overall, This is a very good city car, as well as very easy to maintain car. Those looking for a highly efficient and comfy hatchback, mostly driven in city areas and occasionally on highways, It very good. But those who want a hatch for highways , it's not a good option.

Good and best drive , and comfortable and interesting in this car , good driving experience Maruti Celerio ,good city car with a smooth ride and good visibility. However, some users find the AMT gearbox slightly jerky at slow speeds, and the steering response can be slow.

The Maruti Celerio is a compact hatchback that has earned its place in the Indian market due to its practicality, affordability, and ease of use. Known for its fuel efficiency and compact size, it's a great option for city driving and first-time car buyers.

I am using this car from 2 months. Purchased VXI Grey color car in January 2025. Nice Car, Good Millage, Good Pickup. Inside better space. Nice look. Low maintainance car.

This car is wanderful& most beautiful. This car is very good milage. This car was very good top speed &low cost fuel charges& very good fule tank . No mantain charge needed
