Maruti claims the new-gen Celerio will become the most fuel-efficient car in India

Maruti will be launching the new-gen Celerio in India on November 10 and the company has started accepting bookings for the upcoming hatch. Interested buyers can register their interest through the company’s website or nearby Arena dealership at a token amount of Rs 11,000 which is fully refundable.

Launch of the new Celerio was expected last year. But due to Covid-19, it got delayed. Ahead of its official launch, the car has started to arrive at authorized dealerships across India. Thanks to this, detailed first look of Maruti Celerio is already online.

Another set of details has come to light regarding the upcoming new Celerio. This one reveals the colour options and trims on offer with the new-gen Celerio. Units of the compact hatch have started reaching dealerships across the country.

The all-new Celerio will be broadly categorised in four trims namely- LXI, VXI, ZXI and ZXI+ and will be offered in a total of seven variants- four with manual transmission and three with an automatic unit.

All colour options are single-tone paint schemes. The new-gen Celerio will get a completely overhauled design and appears to be cross-hatch. It gets a visibly upright stance and also gets a longer wheelbase. This is thanks to a new Heartect platform which is lighter and longer which results in better fuel economy as well as interior space.
