The Maruti Suzuki Celerio is the go-to for anyone who wants a light, easy car that sips fuel — it’s marketed as one of India’s most fuel-efficient cars, and it lives up to it. It’s a compact five-seat hatchback with a 1.0-litre petrol engine and a CNG option, built for cheap, fuss-free city running. Safety has stepped up too, with six airbags now standard. Prices run from around ₹4.7 lakh to ₹6.7 lakh (ex-showroom). It competes with cars like the Maruti Wagon R, Tata Tiago and Renault Kwid.
This gallery walks through the interior and exterior of the Maruti Suzuki Celerio, so you get a better idea of how it looks and feels in person. On Spinny, a well-kept used one costs noticeably less than a new car.

Maruti Suzuki Celerio Exterior
The Celerio keeps things simple and friendly-looking, with a rounded, city-sized shape that’s a doddle to park.
Front:
The front has a slim upper grille, a large sculpted air-dam and swept-back headlamps — a soft, approachable face rather than anything aggressive.
Side profile:
From the side it’s a tall-boy hatch, easy to see out of, riding on 15-inch black alloys on the top trim and wheel covers lower down.
Rear:
The back has distinctive droplet-shaped wraparound tail-lamps, an upright tailgate and a small roof spoiler — neat and practical.

Maruti Suzuki Celerio Interior Images
Inside, the Celerio is simple and easy to use, which is exactly what it’s meant to be — a no-fuss city car.
Dashboard and layout:
The all-black cabin has a clean, uncluttered dashboard with a 7-inch touchscreen (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto) on the higher trims and simple, clear controls.
Seats and space:
You sit fairly high with good visibility, the front is roomy, and there’s a 60:40 split rear seat for flexibility — though the rear is a touch tight for taller adults on longer trips.
Boot space:
The boot is a handy 292 litres, decent for a small hatch, and folds down for bigger loads.
Key touchpoints:
Look for automatic climate control, steering-mounted controls, a push-button start and smart key on the higher trims, plus idle start-stop to save fuel.
