मारुति सुज़ुकी सिलेरियो [2014-2017] यूज़र रिव्यूज़

Exteriors Nice exteriors for this segement only. not good for swift and grand i10.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Driver side auto up down window, nice dashboard with aux in and USB. rear window demister. ADDITIONAL DETAILS-maruti suzuki not offer features like start stop and cool glove box.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox 998cc which is good. powered with 68 ps. gearbox is same like  swift. fuel economy is 17kmpl. which is fair. 

Ride Quality & Handling Its meant for city driving purpose mainly. handling is fine. BEST car for ladies especially middle aged ladies who dont like hard driving.

VERDICT: Overall a good small cockpit car with lots of good packed features. fine perfomance , good handling and best comfort and convinience in this segement. But main thing is that if you want all the features and a mannual transmission, BUY IT. if you want auto gear shift equipped with standard features which does not bother you than you can buy it then also. BUT dont visit dealership if yu want both eqipped features as well as auto gear shift as it is not availaible.

Areas of improvement Install auto gear shift in zxi. And it is request to maruti to start installing features like start stop,cool gloved box, rear parking camera and reverse parking sensors othervise sales of suzuki will start declining.

Smooth handling, good fuel economy, good spaceNo auto gear shift in zxi and zxi opt and no outside temp display

I have been driving my alto for all these days and got my Celerio VXI AMT after 5 month waiting time. its really worh waiting and i never regret.

 Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Space is good in front and rear seats leg room, comfort and easy ingress and engress, space for utilities, dashboard easily reachable.

 If you are looking for a family city hatch back just go for it.  its really true value for money car.

Areas of improvement  

 rear view is little difficult while reversing and thick C pillars hide visibility during turning

 

AMT,Milage,Space,ComfortNo Airbags and ABS in AMT version

Driven 5000 kms so far in my Celerio VXI (MT). Of this 1500 kms on highway and the rest in Bangalore City. It gives 15 kmpl with AC in city and 19 kmpl on highway. On highway I have reached upto 120 kmph and felt safe and comfortable. The car has a good turning radius and is comfortable for the city drive too, the 5 speed gear is comfortable so far. The car is done two services so far and Maruti's service is good.

The look is just average but I dont think one can expect more than this for the price tag it carries. Mine is a family of four with 2 children and this is doing good enough for both city and highway drive. Maruthi could improve a little more on the look and interiors. This is probably the best car in the economy segment. True value for money.

Fuel Economy, Comfort & Space, PerformanceAverage look

Exterior I've added a few accessories and it looks great now. else backside view should be improved.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very spacious and comfortable, hardly feel the jerks.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine is no bad considering its 1L engine, i've not tried on manual, but on Auto gear sometimes it takes time to speed up especially while overtaking. But this hardly matters. Gearbox acts auto and we hardly feel the gear change. No clutch will give freedom for your left leg.

Fuel economy is at my expectations. On Auto gear it gives 15km/ltr in Bangalore traffic with 50% A/C usage. On highway it gives 20-24 with AC. The car is still 3months old. On manual gear never tried.

Ride Quality & Handling I hardly felt the jerks at even 140kmph. Handling is very user friendly, not felt any issues.

Final Words After riding about 3000kms on this car, i would say go for it if you need an Auto gear and if you mostly use it in hectic metro traffics.

Areas of improvement Back looks and harder body to make it more safer.

Very comfortable and smooth riding, no fatigue of riding in trafficback side look should be improved

I have been driving the car for past one month now, to and fro - office.

Exterior

 

Exterior is good, I like the front looks of the car, nothing to brag about nothing to dislike either.  Said that no harm in Maruthi making better looking small cars either.

Alloy wheels should have been included in their top end model.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Interior are ok. One Major thing that is missing in an auto drive car is hand rest. Left hand is idle ........demands a hand rest.  You can always do some nitpicking like seats could be made more comfortable esp in top end model ( which is what I have), they are giving you single key with controls. ABS comes only in optional model which is not available at any vendor ( they push you to buy zxi normal instead ).  Also integrated audio system should have a color lcd screen rather than old days single color LEDs. 

Head rests are integrated which can be a nuisence for some people, although I dont mind them for a short drive.

Love the integraded controls on steering , Audio system has bluetooth, USB, recognizes iPod, iPhone without any issues. Lots of space to keep your gear .. purse/phone, bottles so thats a plus.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Its been hardly a month and I have been driving in city with good traffic. In these conditions its giving avg of 13 which is way less than what company claims. Gear shift is not as smooth as in a proper auto shift car, AMT is ok though does it works well. Smooth start smooth stop. It does tend to ask for power while trying to speed up quickly, pushing down the pedal a lil hard does the trick. Said that, its a laid back car... I enjoy driving it and I am in a calm/patient mood driving it ( definately good for health).

Petrol engine is really good , very silent no complaints about it.

 

 Final Words

The car is worth the money only if you are buying an AMT version, very lovely experience driving Auto Gear, its a small car so dont have to worry about parking or cutting it through small gaps.

Areas of improvement  

 Covered above.

 

1. Auto Shift , Steering Mounted Controls, Driving ExperienceNo Hand Rest, Seats could be more comfortable, Alloy Wheels in Top model

Exterior The exteriors are good. The front has a feel of a luxirous car. The side pattern is also good. The back could have been better. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Its spacious enough. Im six feet tall and fit in comfortably. The spacing is excellent. The seats are nice but you feel the pain when you are riding long rides.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The engine is very smooth. You feel the jerk when u shift from 1st to 2nd gear but ofcourse this is felt only by the driver. When overtaking in highways I would suggest you use the manual gear since the auto gear sometimes has issues with downshift. When u are overtaking and are moving up from 4to to 5th gear, the car automatically downshifts to 4th there by reducing the speed while overtaking. This also sends a jerk and is quite annoying. I noticed this when the AC was on. When u are not with the AC you rarely feel any shifts. Also while driving automatic make sure you remove your leg off the accelerator for the gear shifts to happen at the optimum speed. This would make the ride smooth. The fuel economy is really good. I am currently done with 1300 kms in the last 30 days and it has returned an average mileage of 17.

Ride Quality & Handling Handling is excellent. The car is very smooth and is a pleasure to drive from bumper to bumper. When you drive in the traffic you really enjoy since releasing the brake moves the car forward.

Final Words Excellent car that you can pick up for the price. I have enjoyed driving it ever since I bought it.

Areas of improvement Can provide music system, remote lock and turn indicators for the current price.

Good fuel economy, great comfort and easy to driveJerks

Exterior Neither amazing nor boring if you look from front and sides. As everyone else wrote about this time and again, dont expect to turn heads towards you even if you just took this car out of the showroom minutes before. Move to the back, you sure will get a nasty look on your face. It looks like a man walking on the water logged, monsoon hit metro roads hoisting his lungi or dhoti way above his waist. you can see half of the rear wheels from behind. Just forget that part, then you can surely say Maruti engineers did a decent enough job.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) I have got a manual ZXi OPTIONAL. While looking at other options, I have to fork out at least another 1 lac to get all the features that I have in this car. So excellent on features. Full marks to Maruti.

Space is where maruti got cheeky. Normaly I like to push by driver seat back as mush as possible. Usually in my DZire (Old model) I'll will be able to push the driver sheet back, almost to one feet from its most forwarded postion. But in this car, the front'n'Back moves for front seats are very limited. I'm still getting used to the up-close to sterring wheel drive. So obiviously, the back side leg room is great. But, we have to accept that, this car gives you better space than its rivals in the same segment. In some cases, its better than the cars one segement above this.

Comfort - To get space, you to compromise on comfort, wherever it is. Its true for this car too. Though you get good support to thighs and all, comfortable long drives are a no-no. (though if you ignore comfort, long drives are really good with its road handling, we will come to that in a bit). Back seats are better equipped, though the attached head rests are a disappointment. you get no support at all for your neck. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

I was pleasantly surprised at the pick up and accelaration of this lil one. you can easily zoom in front of others at traffic signals. Fuel economy at present is showing well below 15kmpl, but I think I have to wait and comment on that after a couple of services. I'll reserve my verdict on this.

Gear box - Shame on Maruti. Whatever issues I had with DZire earlier with reverse gear, i have got it already in this. I dont know from where are they getting these boxes. While all 5 fwd gears are smooth, reverse gear already requires great thurst with your hands to put it in place.

Ride Quality & Handling Another area, which is excellent on this car. Smooth ride and handling in city traffic is seamless. You can easliy cut through the congestion. I have got height adjustable seats, which i have set at its heighest position. This gives you clear views for all four corners and its easy to navigate in peak hours. Only nagging thing on the back of my mind is the protrudding front lamps and back bumbers. Specially the back bumber corners are so sharp (You cant put any buber protector as well due to its design), its almost inevitable to get hit by some two wheeler rider. I'm expecting this to happen in the next month itself :-(

At corners and round about, at high speeds you can feel the body roll, but you can always feel you are in control. I had no worries so far.

Final Words For the price that I have paid (5.72 on road) I'm satisfied with my car. This is my fourth car after 800, Dzire and VW Passat. While one was a legend and another one is on the verge of becoming a legend (only time will say if dzire stands against the like of Amaze & Xcent), this is surely another hit from Maruti. If you are tier 1 or even tier 2 city bound office goer, go for it. If the purpose is something else, forget it. Look elsewhere.

Areas of improvement Back view, Gear Box and interior material quality (Specailly dash board plastics). 

Features, Interior SpacePlastics (Dirt Cheap), View from behind, Gear Transmission

Exterior Although not very good looking, it has a decent exterior

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) spacious enough

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox It shows around 15kmpl average in city traffic and over 20 when u drive on highways.

Ride Quality & Handling Very smooth and easy. I had learnt driving 12 years back and got a lisence, however never put it to use in practical life. This car made that possible for me. I had earlier planned to appoint a driver to get confidence on road, however after driving in internal roads for a week, didnt quite feel the need and started taking the car on road independently. now i am very comfortable driving it.

Final Words Absence of clutch and no necessity to use left leg feels like a wonder which i am still getting used to! hope this car continues to satisfy me in long run too!

Areas of improvement They should have launched Automatic version in the high end Zxi variant. we had to spend a lot on accessories in this. having steering controls for music would have been helpful. also back wipers should have been installed by default as the visibility becomes horrible on a heavy rainy night. More attention should have been given to such safety measures in all teh variants, especially back wipers, airbags etc.

Auto gear shift, spacious interiors, decent boot spaceJerks when gear changes

Exterior Front look gives feel of sedan,door handle is looking like a premium model,ground clearance is fine, side ORVM light mirror is so stylish,overall design is good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good space and comfort,dual tone interior gives feal of premium model,audio system is superb,cluster meter gives more information in ZXI(OPTIONAL), shock sensor is available in this, after MGA seat cover inside look is increased again.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I used my car more than 800Km, engine performance is fine, there is no engine sound inside the cabin,Powerful AC, gear box is smooth like same as DZIRE.

Ride Quality & Handling Turning radius is so good, so amall turnings also we can take easily,even at 80Km speed I am able to steer well.

Final Words In ZXI(O), so many features are there after buying only i came to know that, fuel efficency i am getting 21 KMPL, alloy wheels increased car look and also better handling,audio system is really good at this cost.

Areas of improvement Head rest height adjuster need to provide instead of integreated one.

Easy Drive, Spacious inside,good fuel economy,good security system in optional,Breaking performanceBack side design is not much attractive
