Maruti Suzuki Celerio next-gen is all set to launch in India on November 10. Now with an official teaser, the company has started taking orders and booking is open for the consumers. The buyers interested can either go to the official website or visit the nearest showroom and pay a token amount of Rs 11,000 (fully refundable). The car was expected to be released way back last year but due to a global pandemic the company had to delay the launch but now the wait is over.

There is information regarding new trims, colours and features revealed of the upcoming Celerio. The new car is categorised into 4 variants named LXI, VXI, ZXI and ZXI+. The colours available to the consumers are six in the option being Arctic White, Silky Silver, Glistening Grey, Solid Fire Red, Speedy Blue and Caffeine Brown. There won’t be any dual-tone option just like other cars by the company. 

The next-gen is based on the new Heartect platform which is lighter and longer claimed by the company. The lightweight will also help in the fuel efficiency of the car. The hatch also gets an upright stance making it look bolder from the front. Due to the redesign, the legroom and headroom are expected to be more than that of the current-gen Maruti Suzuki Celerio.
