Transmission options will mostly be limited to a 5-speed Manual and a 5-speed AMT. The 1.2 litre petrol motor won’t be continued on the 2021 model. CNG fuel option on the Celerio is also expected but its launch might take place at a later date.

Current prices of the Celerio start from INR 4.56 lakhs and go all the way up to INR 6 lakhs (ex-showroom).
