The Maruti Suzuki Celerio was first launched in India in 2014

The second-generation Maruti Suzuki Celerio is expected to be a full model change, and the carmaker will be employing a new platform this time around. It could be Suzuki's new generation Heartect platform that underpins new-age Maruti Suzuki cars including Baleno, Dzire, Swift and the SPresso. Once launched, it will replace the current model, which has been in business for six years. Despite the rising rivalry in the segment, the existing Celerio hatchback saw a satisfactory success rate. The hatchback received its mid-life refresh in 2017, and this is the right time to make extensive overhauling of the car.

The new Maruti Suzuki Celerio is likely to receive substantial design changes such as different grille, new headlights, a new pair of taillamps with LED signature stylings, redesigned rear bumper, well-designed tailgate, and much more. As the test vehicle appears to be bigger than the existing model, it is expected that the new Celerio could grow in dimensions.

Just like the exterior, the cabin of the all-new Celerio will be packed with new features. The car could get a SmartPlay touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, multi-functional steering wheel, multi-information display, electrically adjustable ORVMs, keyless entry, dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, reverse parking sensors and other features.
