New Maruti Celerio: The 2025 Maruti Celerio has arrived, bringing a refreshed take on the popular hatchback that has won hearts across India since its introduction. This latest iteration combines Maruti Suzuki’s renowned reliability with modern styling, enhanced features, and improved efficiency. Let’s explore what makes the 2025 Celerio stand out in the competitive compact car segment.
Sleek Design Evolution
The 2025 Celerio sports a more contemporary design language while maintaining its compact footprint. The front fascia features a wider grille with chrome accents that flows seamlessly into the redesigned LED headlamps. The sculpted bumper houses fog lamps in angular recesses, giving the car a more assertive presence.
In profile, the Celerio retains its practical silhouette but adds character with more pronounced wheel arches and a gently rising beltline. The 15-inch dual-tone alloy wheels on higher variants add a premium touch to the overall appearance.
At the rear, the tailgate has been restyled with sharper lines, complemented by LED taillights that enhance both visibility and aesthetics. Seven vibrant color options are available, including the new Azure Blue and Magma Grey.
Spacious and Refined Interior
Step inside, and the 2025 Celerio welcomes you with a surprisingly spacious cabin for its compact exterior dimensions. The dashboard layout is intuitive with a driver-centric design featuring a new soft-touch finish and improved ergonomics.
The seats have been redesigned with better cushioning and bolstering, offering enhanced comfort for longer journeys. The rear bench provides adequate legroom, while the 60:40 split functionality adds versatility for carrying larger items.
Premium fabric upholstery with contrast stitching comes standard, while the top variant offers leatherette seat covers. The improved NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) levels create a more refined cabin experience.
Technology and Connectivity
The centerpiece of the dashboard is a 9-inch floating touchscreen infotainment system that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The interface is responsive and user-friendly, with customizable widgets for frequently used functions.
The digital instrument cluster provides essential information at a glance, with a multi-information display showing real-time fuel efficiency, driving range, and trip details.
Connectivity features include Suzuki Connect, which offers over 40 smart features accessible via a smartphone app. Remote functions include door lock/unlock, vehicle status, geo-fencing alerts, and service reminders.
For music enthusiasts, the six-speaker sound system delivers impressive audio quality, with steering-mounted controls for convenient operation.
Advanced Powertrain Options
Under the hood, the 2025 Celerio offers two engine options. The base variant comes with an improved 1.0-liter K10C DualJet petrol engine that produces 68 PS and 90 Nm of torque. This efficient power unit now features dual variable valve timing for better response across the rev range.
The highlight is the new 1.2-liter K12N DualJet engine, previously reserved for larger models, now available in the Celerio. It delivers 83 PS and 113 Nm of torque, providing spirited performance while maintaining excellent fuel efficiency.
Both engines come with idle start-stop technology as standard, contributing to the impressive claimed fuel economy of up to 26.68 km/l for the 1.0-liter and 24.12 km/l for the 1.2-liter variants.
Transmission options include a smooth 5-speed manual and an improved Auto Gear Shift (AGS) system that offers the convenience of an automatic with minimal efficiency penalty.
Enhanced Safety Package
Safety has received significant attention in the 2025 Celerio. The model is built on Suzuki’s HEARTECT platform, which provides better crash protection through its energy-dispersing design.
Standard safety features across all variants include:
Dual front airbags
ABS with EBD
Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
Hill Hold Assist
Rear parking sensors
ISOFIX child seat anchors
Higher trims add side and curtain airbags, bringing the total to six. The top variant comes with a reverse camera with dynamic guidelines and a 360-degree view system for effortless parking in tight spaces.
Comfort and Convenience Features
The 2025 Celerio comes loaded with features that enhance the overall ownership experience. Automatic climate control maintains the perfect cabin temperature, while the push-button start with smart key eliminates fumbling for keys.
Power windows all around, electrically adjustable and folding ORVMs, and a height-adjustable driver’s seat ensure comfortable driving positions for pilots of all statures.
The boot space has been increased to 313 liters, which can be expanded by folding the rear seats. Multiple storage compartments throughout the cabin help keep personal items organized and within reach.
Driving Dynamics
The 2025 Celerio offers a balanced driving experience that combines agility with stability. The electric power steering is light at low speeds for easy maneuverability in city traffic, while providing adequate feedback at higher speeds.
The suspension setup has been fine-tuned to deliver a comfortable ride over various road surfaces without compromising handling. The longer wheelbase contributes to better straight-line stability, while the tight turning radius of 4.8 meters makes navigating crowded streets effortless.
