Maruti has always known how to make cars that work well for Indian families. The Celerio is one of those cars. It’s small, practical, and very easy on the pocket. Now in 2025, Maruti has made it even better.
The new Maruti Celerio 2025 looks fresher, runs smarter, and saves more fuel than ever. It’s still that friendly hatchback we know, but with some smart new changes. Let’s break it down and see why this car is getting attention again.
New Stylish Look
The Celerio has got a fresh new face. The front grille is now bigger and has a modern design. It gets a black honeycomb finish with a chrome strip that connects the headlights. Speaking of the headlights, they’re still halogen but look sharper than before.
The front bumper is redesigned too. It has a neat cut and a new air intake section that adds to its sporty feel. The fog lamp housing is better shaped and gives the car a wider look.
On the sides, the design remains clean. The top variant gets blacked-out alloy wheels that look smart. Door handles are body-colored, and the side mirrors now come with turn indicators.
At the back, the tail lamps are rounded but neatly shaped. The rear bumper has a new layout that adds some bulk to the look. Overall, the car now has a more youthful style.
More Colors to Choose
Maruti is offering new color options in the Celerio 2025. You can choose from Solid Fire Red, Speedy Blue, Glistening Grey, and Arctic White. There are also dual-tone shades for the top variant, with a contrast black roof.
These bright and clean shades help the car stand out in the crowd, especially for young buyers.
Spacious and Simple Cabin
When you step inside, the Celerio continues to keep things simple. But the layout now feels more modern. The dashboard is black with silver accents. The air vents are placed nicely and have a fresh design.
The instrument cluster is still semi-digital, but it’s clean and easy to read. You get a digital speedometer, fuel level, gear position indicator, and average mileage display.
The center of the dashboard has a 7-inch touchscreen in the higher variants. It supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The screen is responsive and easy to use. Below the screen, you’ll find manual AC controls, USB port, and a power socket.
The steering wheel is flat-bottom and gets mounted controls for audio and calls. It feels good to hold. The seats are finished in dual-tone fabric, which looks light and feels comfortable. There’s enough space in the front and back for adults. Even tall people won’t struggle for headroom.
The rear seat gets adjustable headrests and a small center armrest in the top variant. Boot space is 313 litres, which is enough for daily shopping or short weekend bags.
Packed with Features
The 2025 Celerio now comes with more features than before. Some of them include:
- Keyless entry
- Push-button start-stop
- Electrically adjustable ORVMs
- Front and rear power windows
- Steering-mounted audio controls
- Tilt-adjustable steering
Even in the mid variants, you get most of the practical features. Maruti has done a good job of giving useful things without making it too complex.
Safety Gets Better
Safety is an important part of any car now, and Maruti has added some good updates here. The Celerio now gets dual airbags as standard. ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, and seatbelt reminders are also standard across all variants.
The top model comes with hill hold assist and electronic stability control (ESP). These features are mostly seen in bigger cars, so having them here is a big plus.
The car also gets a strong body shell that meets the latest crash norms. It may not have a 5-star safety rating yet, but it is safer than its older version.
Fuel-Efficient Engine
The Celerio continues to use the 1.0-litre K10C DualJet petrol engine. This is a three-cylinder engine that makes 67 PS and 89 Nm of torque. It may sound like a small number, but for a light car like Celerio, it’s enough for daily city driving.
The engine is smooth and doesn’t feel noisy unless you push it hard. Gearshifts in the manual variant are light. The clutch is also soft, which makes it ideal for traffic conditions.
The highlight is fuel efficiency. Maruti claims the Celerio can give more than 26 kmpl. In the real world, you can expect 20–22 kmpl easily. That makes it one of the most fuel-efficient petrol cars in India.
AMT for Easy Driving
If you drive mostly in the city and hate gear shifts, then the AMT option is worth choosing. The automatic version of the Celerio is smooth and easy to use. It gives the same mileage as the manual one.
The AMT has creep function, which helps in stop-go traffic. It’s not super fast in changing gears, but for the price and fuel savings, it does a decent job.
CNG Option Also Available
Maruti is also offering a factory-fitted CNG version of the Celerio. It uses the same petrol engine, but with CNG tuning. Power drops slightly to around 56 PS, but the mileage goes up big time.
Maruti claims the CNG version gives around 35 km per kg. This is perfect for people who drive long distances every day and want the lowest running cost.
You also don’t lose much boot space as the CNG cylinder is neatly placed. And the engine starts in petrol mode, then shifts to CNG automatically. This setup is smooth and reliable.
Easy to Drive and Maintain
The Celerio is one of the easiest cars to drive. It has a light steering, small turning radius, and good visibility. Whether you’re a first-time driver or someone who drives daily in tight city lanes, this car will never feel heavy or confusing.
The ground clearance is good enough to tackle rough patches and speed breakers. It doesn’t feel like a cheap car on the road. The suspension is well-balanced too. It handles bumps without making the ride bouncy.
Being a Maruti car, maintenance is affordable. Service centers are available everywhere. Spare parts are cheap and easily available. Even insurance and resale value are good.
Pricing and Variants
The Maruti Celerio 2025 is available in four main variants – LXI, VXI, ZXI, and ZXI+. Prices start from around ₹5.50 lakh and go up to ₹7.50 lakh for the top AMT version.
The CNG variant is priced slightly higher than the petrol ones but gives a great saving in running costs.
Every variant offers good value, but the VXI and ZXI trims hit the sweet spot with features and price.
Final Thoughts
The new Celerio 2025 is a small car with a big heart. It may not be flashy, but it does everything right. From stylish looks to strong mileage, from smart features to low cost, it covers all the basics very well.
For someone who wants a reliable car that doesn’t ask for much, the Maruti Celerio is still a smart choice. It’s practical, fuel-efficient, and now a bit more modern than before. Whether it’s your first car or a daily work partner, the new Celerio fits the bill nicely.
