"My Celerio VXi gives excellent fuel economy (around 24–25 kmpl real-world) which saves me a lot on petrol. The front seats are comfortable and visibility is good. However, the interior is very basic – all hard plastics, and there’s no rear camera or even a daylight running lamp in lower trims. The AMT is convenient but can be slow to kick down. Overall I’m happy, but I wish the fit-and-finish and features were a bit better for the price."

"After 6 months with the Celerio, I’m really impressed. It’s smooth in the city and has plenty of room for two kids and groceries. The new safety features (ESP, 6 airbags) give me peace of mind. On longer trips, it cruises comfortably despite being a small engine. It won’t win drag races, but I don’t buy it for that. In its segment, the Celerio feels reliable and complete. Maruti’s service is also good, so maintenance costs are low. It’s the best practical hatchback I’ve owned."

"I use the Celerio mainly for my daily city commute. The lightweight 1.0L engine makes short trips effortless, and I easily get over 25 kmpl on the highway. It’s very easy to park in tight spaces, and the driving position is nice and high. The only downsides I’ve noticed are that the cabin plastics feel cheap, and the AMT jerks a bit in stop-and-go traffic. Otherwise, it’s a great budget car with good space for my family."
