It features a host of cosmetic changes over the standard model. However, mechanically, both remain the same.

It features a black body cladding all-around the hatchback that makes for an aggressive and sporty design. At the front, a combination of the blacked-out grille and fog-lamps housing gives the car a distinctive X-shaped design.

On the inside, the sporty theme has been carried with blacked-out interiors and seat upholstery. The cabin features a host of elements that matches the exterior colour to enhance the sporty look and feel.

The hatchback misses out on a touchscreen infotainment system. Instead, it comes equipped with a Bluetooth enabled audio system.

It comes equipped with standard safety features such as multiple airbags at the front, ABS, a reverse parking sensor, a headlight level adjustment dial switch, speed alert reminder and childproof rear door locks; among others.

The Celerio X is powered by a K10B petrol engine that produces a maximum of 68bhp at 6000rpm and a peak torque of 90Nm at 3500rpm. It comes mated to either a five-speed manual or five-speed AMT.

According to recent reports, the upcoming new-gen Celerio is expected to be launched sometime during the festive season this year. It will feature a host of changes over the previous-gen model.

This includes a new front fascia and updated interiors with possibly a touchscreen infotainment display and a semi-digital instrument cluster; among others. The powertrain of the upcoming model is also expected to be carried forward from the previous-gen model including the CNG option.
