Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which is the best choice: Maruti Celerio or Renault Kwid?
  • Both cars are good in their own forte. The Maruti Celerio does a lot of things right. It will be a great first car thanks to its easy-to-drive nature. Another strong point of the Celerio is the torquey 1-liter petrol engine that feels at home not only in the city but also out on the highway. The low-speed ride is comfortable and the spacious cabin makes it a genuine four-seater even for tall people. The features list, too, is long enough. On the other hand, Kwid is offered a choice of two petrol engines - a 54PS 0.8-litre unit and a 68PS 1.0-liter option. While the smaller unit is only available with a 5-speed manual gearbox, the bigger engine can also be had with a 5-speed AMT Renault Kwid has got it right with its looks, features, and comfort to be your first or daily city car. However, the driving experience leaves a bit to be desired. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
Q. Which variant is best in Celerio?
  • Vxi petrol with company fitted accesories
  • New variant is the best for look like premium car
  • As expected from the entry-level variant of an affordable compact hatchback, the Celerio LXi only offers the absolute basics. You get dual front airbags, manual AC, and engine idle start/stop as standard. If this is your maximum budget, the base-spec Celerio is worth considering for its overall package, which includes that frugal petrol engine and a spacious boot. The VXi offers the basics like central locking, power windows, manual AC, power-adjustable ORVMs, manual (day and night) inside rearview mirror, and wheel covers for the 14-inch steelies. The Celerio VXi also offers a split-folding rear seat for added practicality, and the body-coloured ORVMs and door handles make it look a lot better than the base variant. The ZXi offers an audio system with Bluetooth, steering-mounted audio controls, tilt-adjustable steering, and remote keyless entry. The ZXi even gets a rear window washer and wiper and a rear defogger for extra safety in inclement weather. This top-spec variant offers all the features you’d need to enjoy the second-gen Celerio. The ZXi trim comes with a height-adjustable driver’s seat, power-folding ORVMs, and push-button engine start/stop. You also get a well-integrated touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, along with other Smartplay Studio features. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
