Celerio was first launched in India in 2014 and has been a strong performer for Maruti Suzuki since, with 5.9 lakh units being sold in the past seven years. The latest Celerio is looking to build on the success at a time when the Indian car-buying audience has shown a preference for smaller vehicles.
