All variants will be powered by a new 1.0L K10C K-Series Dualjet petrol engine benefited with dual VVT (variable valve timing) technology that adjust timing on intake and exhaust camshafts. Compared to the outgoing model that comes with the 67bhp, 1.0L petrol motor, the new one will be more powerful and fuel efficient. The new Dualjet gasoline unit will also be boosted with the segment-first Idle Start-Stop technology that will make it the most efficient petrol car in the country. It’s reported to deliver a mileage around 26kmpl. Both manual and AMT gearboxes will be on offer.
Built on the Heartect platform, the new 2022 Maruti Celerio will come in a choice of 6 monotone colour schemes including Solid Fire Red, Caffeine Brown, Silky Silver, Speedy Blue, Arctic White and Glistening Grey. In terms of features, the new Celerio will offer a 7-inch SmartPlay Studio infotainment system, new centre console and newly designed AC vents along with the more cabin space. Its instrument cluster and steering wheel look similar to the WagonR and some of its switchgears seem borrowed from the S-Presso. Read – Over 10 New Maruti Suzuki Cars To Launch In India
