While exteriors have undergone a major revamp, new-gen Celerio will be using the same engine as earlier

One of the popular entry-level hatchbacks, Maruti Suzuki Celerio will soon be launched in its next-gen avatar. Had it not been for the pandemic, new Celerio would have been launched much earlier. Some dealers have started accepting unofficial bookings for a refundable amount of Rs 5k-11k. Updated Celerio will continue to rival the likes of Hyundai Santro and Tata Tiago.

2021 Celerio base variant details

Ahead of its launch, new-gen Celerio base variant has been spotted. The colour appears to be Arctic White, which is already available with existing model. It is not certain if some new colour options will be introduced for 2021 Celerio.

To ensure the hatch has a completely new look and feel, most of the key features have been updated. Next-gen Celerio packs in updated front grille, headlamps, front bumper, and fog lamps. It gets chrome strip on the grille that seamlessly connects the headlamps.

Based on sightings of test mules, it appears that new-gen Celerio will be larger than the outgoing model. It will be based on 5th generation Heartect platform that is lighter, yet stronger. Heartect is already in use with other Maruti small cars such as Swift, WagonR and S-Presso.
