Maruti Suzuki Celerio [2017-2021] User Reviews

First of all, I would like to say I'm a car enthusiast. and have driven many hatchbacks, sedans, SUVs, MVPs, My father purchased this car 8 months back..and I have driven more than a thousand kilometer..the things I noticed while driving this car is its performance is peppy for the first 3 gears even with overall 5 passengers..and if there is 5 passengers and you have turned on your AC and moving in 4th gear there is less feedback from the engine side..you have to do quick downshift for overtaking..and I didn't feel any problem with a low-end punch as I easily have driven stiff end roads with overall 5 passengers..and when you are alone or having only 2 passenger celerio gives you a very good peppy performance.you can easily cruise up to 90km/hr. the fastest i driven was 130km/hr..and steering is tight in low speeds as well as in higher cruising speeds..but i didn't face any difficulty in that..its steering is not hard as alto and not light as baleno somewhere in between those...and once you reach mid range steering becomes free and gives you a feel of easy to drive nature..clutch is moderately light and gear shifting is so smooth and easy as it doesn't require any effort..lots of hard plastice inside the vehicle but it will be compromised at this price range..and car is modification friendly inspite of having bigger alloys..and after 1st service car is giving a mileage of 16kms/hr(city and highway put together) and i hope the mileage will increase after 10k kms..but overall i feel like its a fuel efficent car..the more i love in this car is its easy to drive nature..at first i booked santro and i went for a test drive and i noticed engine noise is high and it doesn't gives the performance of a 1.1 ltr engine..moreover i was not impressed with the placement of power window switches..so i decided to go for wagon r..unfortunately there is so much body roll on wagon r. And I felt a lack of confidence while driving it. And I was not impressed by its boxy appearance and I feel obnoxious with wagon r .while going for wagon r I noticed celerio and I went for a test drive.. I was impressed by its easy to drive nature it has given me much more confidence than wagon r.and less engine noise than Santro.it meets all my requirements at this price range..that how i choose celerio..basically it's for my father and he was very happy about my choice...so according to my own opening skipping some disappointments in the part of features and quality of material used i was much happy about my choice...so if you are a small family and wants a car that can be used for frequent small journeys and some long-distance driving at the weekends..without cutting your pocket much this is the best car under 6lakhs..go for it..!
