The Maruti Celerio Diesel has been launched in India at a price of between Rs. 4.65 - 5.71 lakhs(ex-Delhi).
What you’ll like:
• The cheapest Maruti diesel in India. LDi variant starts at merely Rs. 4.65 lakhs
• 793 cc engine offers decent driveability. It's also peppy enough for city commutes
• Terrific fuel economy. ARAI rating is 27.62 kmpl
• Well-packaged cabin. Adequate legroom, excellent headroom and a 235 liter boot
• Suspension offers neutral ride quality & predictable handling
• Maruti’s excellent after-sales service & wide dealer network
What you won’t:
• Poor refinement levels. Engine sounds very crude
• Underpowered on the expressway. Lacks top-end.runs out of breath easily
• Rs. 75, 000 - 80, 000 premium(over the petrol) is too much for a 2-cylinder motor
• Higher variants are too expensive! Cars with larger engines(Beat, Figo, Ritz) are close
• Flimsy build & economy-grade quality
• Even the VDi middle variant lacks kit(no tachometer, tilt steering, rear wiper & washer etc.). Only the ZDi has acceptable levels of equipment
