Maruti has smartly tweaked the formula without changing what makes the Celerio a popular city car.
Design & Styling: Subtle Yet Smarter
The 2025 Celerio retains its familiar rounded profile, but a closer look reveals cosmetic updates. The new grille sports chrome accents, the front bumper has been slightly reshaped, and the top variants feature refreshed alloy wheels. The rear lights now use LED elements, while the new color options—especially the dual-tone variants—add a youthful vibe. Inside, the cabin gets dual-tone upholstery, improved plastics, and a more refined instrument panel.
Engine, Performance & Gearbox Options
Maruti Celerio still has the same 1.0L K10C Dualjet petrol engine that produces 67 PS of power and 89 Nm of torque. It has 5-speed manual and 5-speed AMT (Auto Gear Shift) transmission options. Its performance has been specially designed keeping in mind the city driving conditions—light steering, smooth gear shifts and excellent mileage. This car proves to be excellent in traffic-clogged streets and tight parking.
Mileage & Fuel Efficiency: Still a Fuel Saver?
If mileage is your priority, the 2025 Maruti Celerio will definitely not disappoint you.
- Manual variants: Around 25.24 kmpl (ARAI)
- AMT variants: Around 26.68 kmpl (ARAI)
In real-world conditions, in everyday driving, this car easily gives a mileage of 20–22 kmpl depending on the traffic conditions and driving style. That’s why it continues to rank among the most fuel-efficient petrol cars in India.

- 7-inch SmartPlay Studio touchscreen with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto
- Keyless entry with push-button start
