Engine options on the Maruti Suzuki Celerio are likely to remain unchanged and hence, the model will continue to be powered by a 1.0-litre three cylinder petrol unit that is capable of producing 67 bhp and 90 Nm of torque. Transmission options will include a five speed manual gearbox as standard while an AMT unit will be available as an option.

Unveiled back in 2014, the Celerio made its debut with a petrol engine while a diesel engine option was offered about a year into the launch. This diesel powered Celerio was discontinued due to its poor demand in the market. Now, with the current generation Celerio facing a tough competition due to the likes of the Tata Tiago, Maruti plans to revive its sales in the segment with the launch of the Celerio facelift.
