The vehicle has started arriving at the dealership showrooms as it was launched earlier today. Maruti is planning to freshen up its lineup with this new-gen Maruti Celerio. Celerio has been around for quite a while now and there were no prominent changes to the original car for the longest time. This upgrade is a thorough one with the new Celerio featuring a new platform. This has resulted in increased overall dimensions on the outside and the addition of new features and cabin design inside. Let us check out what the images tell us about the new Celerio in detail.

India is primarily a small car market, with nearly 46% of total passenger vehicle sales contributed by the hatchbacks. As a leading car manufacturer, it is our responsibility to drive the revival of the automobile industry. With the All-New Celerio, we endeavour to boost the most important passenger vehicle segment in the country.”
New Gen Maruti Celerio Exterior
The exteriors are quite a departure from the model that is currently on sale. While it has more edges, this new version is more rounded from everywhere. The headlamps are more in line with the Swift with a swept-up design, the chrome bar cutting across the front grille is also borrowed from the new Swift, the blacked-out elements on the front bumper lend a sporty feel to the overall fascia and the sides of the bumper are also rounded with fog lamps. The top trim will get black alloys that look decent. The rear also follows the curvy design language along with the taillamps and bumper design. The Heartec platform will ensure slightly larger dimensions compared to the outgoing model. People who have seen the car upfront claim that it looks better in physical form.
