Maruti Suzuki Celerio AMT Review, Images, Price and Specs: Geared Well!

Steering, Handling and Ride:

The McPherson struts up front and Torsion beam axle with coil spring at rear set up has been well tweaked by Maruti Suzuki engineers. Low speed ride remains a bit firm, but drives well with passengers onboard. The rear end does feel a bit bouncy, but isn`t unnerving in any way and keeps composure as long as it is driven sanely. The firm setup also means that the Celerio would be a confident handler around corners.
As with all the Marutis, the Celerio employs the efficient EPS. While at standstill it is a tad heavy, the steering feels light once on the move. The steering also weighs up sufficiently well once past speeds of 50-60 kmph and offers decent feedback. Remember, this is predominantly a city hatch and it excels in the ride and handling department at city speeds.

Verdict

With a low kerb weight of 830 kilos, the Maruti Suzuki Celerio AMT, with its light power steering is a perfect city car. With a fuel efficiency figure on par with the manual, the car will be light on pocket too. Coupled with Marutis fantastic dealer network, like any Maruti this one should be a joy to own too.

With the Celerio, Maruti brings to the table the most important factors, namely – Automatic transmission, Fuel efficiency, Dealer network, Low running costs. With the percentage of the fairer sex owning city cars on the rise, the Celerio could be a hit amongst lady drivers as well!
