Maruti Suzuki Celerio ZXi Plus

The car has completed 15000kms approx. The engine is very refined and peppy. On highway, with AC off and two people, It easily delivers 25-26 kmpl on petrol crusing around 80kmph. In city with light footed driving 15-17kmpl in petrol, in heavy traffic 13-15.So , fuel efficiency is solid from this car. No need of CNG, but can go for it, If annual running in city is over 12000-14000kms. The low end grunt is good enough and overtakes upto 80 kmph are effortless. I see many people complain that small engine cars are not fast enough. But slot this car in right gear and it will give good response, doesn't matter how many people are travelling. Not unrefined and lethargic like Tata Punch Or kwid . Top variant is feature loaded with features and everything works effortlessly. The AC is also very good. Servicing experience is good too with generally around 3000rs for normal service. The top end spec also get yokohama tyres, The ride quality is much better than wagonr, kwid, spresso almost as good as tiago if not better at lower speeds. Very easy to handle anywhere in city. Occasional highway touring is also good on the car as power is sufficient and good suspension . Boot space is around 300L, which is very good for this segment. Overall, anyone looking for thier first car or car with good fuel efficiency and reliability can go for it. Only cons are- Steering response is not good on low speeds as it doesn't self centre just like many maruti cars. Lack of sound isolation gets evident, If above 80kmph. But negotiable and subjective to people for great engine and reliability. Safety rating may not be very good but with 6 airbags, ESP and TC, It's definitely safe enough for city commutes and occasional highway runs.
