Maruti Suzuki has introduced the Maruti Celerio 2025 with competitive ex-showroom prices starting at ₹5.64 lakh for the base LXi variant, going up to ₹7.37 lakh for the top-end ZXi Plus AMT trim. Positioned as one of India’s most budget-friendly hatchbacks, the Celerio continues its legacy of offering exceptional value for money.
Youthful & Dynamic Exterior
The 2025 model sports a completely redesigned front fascia featuring a bold, masculine grille and sleek LED accents. The sculpted body lines and 15-inch black alloy wheels give it a sportier stance compared to its predecessor. Built on Maruti’s HEARTECT platform, the Celerio maintains its lightweight construction while improving structural rigidity for enhanced safety.
Efficient Powertrain Options
Under the hood lies Maruti’s trusted 1.0L K10C petrol engine delivering 66PS power and 89Nm torque, available with either a 5-speed manual or 5-speed AMT. The CNG variant produces 56PS and 82Nm. Where the Celerio truly shines is its segment-leading fuel efficiency:
| Variant | Mileage |
|---|---|
| Petrol Manual | 25.2 kmpl |
| Petrol AMT | 26.7 kmpl |
| CNG | 35.6 km/kg |
Feature-Loaded Cabin
The 2025 update brings a more premium interior with dual-tone upholstery and improved ergonomics. Key features include a 7-inch SmartPlay touchscreen with Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, push-button start, height-adjustable driver seat, and steering-mounted controls. The 313-liter boot remains practical for urban use.
Segment-First Safety
Marking a significant upgrade, the Celerio now offers 6 airbags across all variants – a first in its class. Additional safety tech includes Electronic Stability Program (ESP), hill hold assist, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, and a high-speed alert system.
City-Friendly Driving Dynamics
The Celerio’s compact dimensions (under 3.7m length) make it ideal for congested urban environments. The light steering and AMT option simplify city driving, while the ISG (Idle Stop-Go) system further boosts fuel efficiency by automatically cutting the engine at stops.
Competitive Positioning
While rivals like Tata Tiago and Hyundai Grand i10 offer marginally more premium interiors, the Celerio counters with superior mileage, lower maintenance costs, and Maruti’s extensive service network. Its combination of style, safety, and efficiency makes it particularly appealing to first-time buyers and urban commuters.
