Maruti Suzuki is currently working on the next-generation model of its popular Celerio hatchback. The upcoming hatchback will feature a host of changes inside and out over the previous-gen Celerio model.

On the inside, the new hatchback will feature the brand's latest iteration of SmartPlay Studio touchscreen infotainment system, a semi-digital instrument cluster, a multifunction steering wheel with mounted controls, climate control, dual-tone upholstery and more.
Maruti Suzuki will also equip the next-gen Celerio with a host of safety features as standard. This includes multiple airbags, ABS with EBD, seatbelt reminder, ISOFIX child seat anchors, a reverse parking sensor with a camera, speed alert and more.
2021 Celerio will be utilizing the brand's Heartect platform that is already being used by other models in the line-up. This includes the S-Presso, Ignis, Wagon R, Dzire, Swift, Baleno, S-Cross, Ertiga and the XL6.
According to the company, the Heartect platform offers improved safety, better fuel efficiency, and enhanced driving dynamics. The second-gen Celerio is expected to feature a longer wheelbase than the outgoing model. This result is improved cabin space, especially for rear-seat occupants.
The engine on the new-gen Celerio will remain unchanged. It will be powered by the same 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.
Maruti Suzuki will also offer the Celerio with a factory-fitted CNG kit for better fuel efficiency. The CNG models are part of the brand's green mile initiative, which aims to reduce pollution by selling more CNG cars in the country.
