Celerio was manufactured with an intention to beat the tough competition in Indian market posed by Indica Vista of Tata motors; Brio and i10 by Hundai; beat by Chevrolet and Figo by Ford. It was introduced as a replacement to Zen Estilo and the A-Star both manufactured by Maruti Suzuki in India. Its production started in the year 2014 and is still continuing. Did you know that celerio is first Indian car that brought with it a concept of auto gear-shifting, hyped as EZ (stands for easy) drive? There is no clutch pedal literally, in this automatic car. It might feel weird for the many habituated drivers. The company is closer to Indian hearts as they prefer to go for Maruti rather than other rivals brands. The famous car manufacturer has its head quartered in the national capital. There will be many reasons for the passion for Maruti cars, but the purpose always zeroes into the availability of a feature rich car in budget as compared to the competitors. The company recently launched its new version, the celerioX. It was introduced to the public in October this year. The core powertrain is kept unaltered with few changes in the exterior and interior look and feel.
Appearance
Maruti CelerioX has a refreshed-appearance in its both exteriors and interiors. It is available in a darker theme with housing of fog–lamp finished in a glossy black colour. Same applies for the alloy wheels too. The bottom portion of the rear bumper is given a darker silver shade with a light silver cladding beneath the portion that holds the number plate in place. Unlike the old Celerio, the celerioX car interiors are full black with certain portions of seats and the upholstery projecting the bright-orange shades. In essence the appearance is bit bolder than the regular Celerio 2014 model. The main highlight is the striking X graphics and the enhanced design of front grille.
Infotainment
One of the celerio x features is its infotainment remake. Unlike traditional stereos appearing with whole-lot-of switches and controls for audio, celerio-x has a touchscreen display unit from which all the systems can be controlled by simple means through your fingertips. This makes it more compact and neat in appearance with the controls easily visible even in dark conditions with lights inside turned off.
