Next-gen Maruti Suzuki Celerio launched starting Rs 4.99 lakhs.

After so many teasers, leaks and announcements, next-gen Maruti Suzuki Celerio had its official launch. The starting price of the hatchback is kept at Rs 4.99 lakhs ex-showroom, India. There are total 4 trims available by the company

  • LXi (Rs 4.99 lakh)
  • VXi (Rs 5.63 lakh)
  • ZXi (Rs 5.94 lakh)
  • ZXi+ (Rs 6.44 lakh)
  • VXi AMT (Rs 6.13 lakh)
  • ZXi AMT (Rs 6.44 lakh)
  • ZXi+ AMT (Rs 6.94 lakh)

All prices mentioned above are ex-showroom, India. The car will be available in both manual and AMT automatic variants. But for the LXi variant, there will be only manual as an option which obviously makes sense.
