Maruti Suzuki has finally launched the second generation of Celerio. It had been spied testing quite a few times, and Maruti had a vast audience excited & waiting. We have had certain expectations from this update; let’s see what Maruti Suzuki has served us with:
-
K10C Petrol Engine
The new Celerio will run on a 1.0litre K10C petrol engine making 65hp & 89Nm torque. This BS-VI compliant engine will be mated to a 5-speed manual/ AMT transmission. Celerio is the first to get this engine, and it would also power other cars shortly.
It is expected to be the most fuel-efficient engine with an improved 15-23% efficiency than before.
