While its official launch date is yet to be announced, the model is reported to hit showrooms ahead of the 2021 festive season. We have seen the spy pictures of the 2021 Maruti Celerio revealing interesting exterior and interior details.

One of the biggest updates will be made to its underpinning. The new-generation Celerio will be designed on the Heartect platform, which is already used in Maruti Suzuki’s new breed cars. The architecture has been built with Ultra and Advanced High Tensile Steels and it’s claimed to resist deformation and enhance collision safety. The hatch will also grow in size. It’s likely to have longer wheelbase and more spacious cabin than the current generation.
The 2021 Maruti Celerio will carry the brand’s new design language and feature a slim grille and sweptback headlamps at the front. Design bits such as new door handles, revised taillamps, a more reclined rear windshield and updated rear bumper further enhance its new look. While the lower variants will get naked steel wheels, the higher trims could be exclusively offered with the newly-designed alloy wheels. Read – 5 Important Details of 2022 Maruti Suzuki Swift
Inside, the new Celerio will feature a 7.0-inch SmartPlay Studio infotainment system supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The dashboard, centre console and steering wheel look different from the current model. The steering unit might come with the mounted controls. The instrument cluster, however, seems to be carried forward from the existing generation.
On the engine front, the 2021 Maurti Celerio will offer a more powerful 1.2L K12 engine sourced from the WagonR hatchback. The motor makes a peak power of 82bhp. The existing BS6-compliant 1.0L, 3-cylinder K10 petrol unit will also be on offer. The new Celerio can be had with either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT gearbox.
