In terms of features, the Celerio CNG misses out on a few of the top-spec model’s goodies such as keyless entry, a tachometer, and even an infotainment system. However, it still comes with a manual air conditioner, central locking system, as well as front and rear power windows. On the safety front, it comes with a driver’s side airbag, ABS with EBD, and rear parking sensors. The VXI (O) variant also comes with a passenger’s side airbag.
