The new engine is likely to be an 800cc two-cylinder unit with a turbocharger that will be paired to a five-speed manual transmission gearbox. The vehicle is unlikely to get the automated manual transmission. The petrol version of the hatchback is powered by a 1.0-litre petrol engine that churns out 67PS of power and 90Nm of torque. The Celerio diesel is likely to go on sale by the year end or by early next year.
