A Smart Choice for Everyday Driving
Maruti Suzuki has launched the 2025 Celerio, a perfect hatchback for budget-conscious buyers in India. Priced from ₹5.64 lakh to ₹7.37 lakh (ex-showroom), this compact car offers great mileage, enhanced safety, and a stylish design. With over 15,000 bookings in its first month, the Celerio 2025 is winning hearts for its affordability and reliability. It’s ideal for small families, young professionals, and anyone looking for an economical city car. The car competes with the Tata Tiago and Maruti Wagon R in the hatchback segment.
Fresh Design with a Modern Look
The 2025 Celerio boasts a sleek, rounded design based on Maruti’s Heartect platform, making it wider and more spacious than its predecessor. It features a bold chrome grille, halogen headlamps, and 15-inch black alloy wheels that give it a sporty vibe. Available in seven vibrant colors like Solid Fire Red, Pearl Arctic White, and Metallic Speedy Blue, the car looks youthful and modern. The interior has a dual-tone black-and-beige cabin with a 7-inch Smartplay touchscreen, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay for easy connectivity.
Powerful Engine and Superb Mileage
The Celerio 2025 is powered by a 1.0-litre K10C petrol engine, delivering 65.71 bhp and 89 Nm of torque. For eco-conscious buyers, the CNG variant offers 55.23 bhp and an impressive 35.5 km/kg mileage, making it one of India’s most fuel-efficient cars. The petrol version gives 24.97 to 26.68 kmpl, perfect for city and highway drives. You can choose between a 5-speed manual or an AMT gearbox for smooth handling, though the AMT may feel slightly jerky at low speeds.
| Specification | Petrol | CNG |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | 1.0L K10C | 1.0L K10C |
| Power | 65.71 bhp | 55.23 bhp |
| Mileage | 24.97–26.68 kmpl | 35.5 km/kg |
| Transmission | Manual/AMT | Manual |
Enhanced Safety for Peace of Mind
Safety is a big highlight of the 2025 Celerio, which now comes with six airbags as standard across all variants, a rare feature in this price range. Built on the Heartect platform, it offers a sturdy structure and includes ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, hill-hold assist, and three-point seatbelts for all passengers. While it hasn’t been crash-tested by Global NCAP yet, these upgrades make it one of the safest budget hatchbacks in India, ensuring better protection for you and your family.
Packed with Practical Features
The Celerio 2025 is loaded with features for comfort and convenience. Higher variants offer keyless entry, push-button start, power windows, and a height-adjustable driver’s seat. The 313-litre boot space is great for luggage, though the CNG variant has slightly less room due to the cylinder. The cabin provides ample legroom and headroom for five passengers, making it ideal for daily commutes or short trips. However, some users note that the base LXi variant lacks advanced features like a rear camera.
Why the Celerio 2025 Stands Out
Priced competitively, the Maruti Celerio 2025 is a fantastic option for those seeking value, fuel efficiency, and safety. With EMI starting at ₹12,123 and a low down payment of ₹65,000, it’s easy to own. Maruti’s vast service network ensures low maintenance costs, and the CNG option appeals to those looking to save on fuel. Despite minor drawbacks like average build quality and limited features in the base model, the Celerio 2025 is a reliable, practical choice for city driving and small families.
