Performance and HandlingMaruti Suzuki Celerio Performance and Handling

The Maruti Suzuki Celerio has only one engine option – a 998cc, 3 cylinder petrol engine that puts out a modest 68 bhp. The power output might sound underwhelming but it is more than sufficient for city commutes and daily drives, essentially the type of driving that this car is designed for. Maruti Suzuki has taken the old K10 engine out of the Alto and made a whole bunch of modifications to it. The resultant of all that work is the K10B engine and it is a significant improvement over its predecessor. This engine has good power and is reasonably silent at the lower end of the rev range, but at higher revs, it does get rather loud. The aspect of the car with the highest amount of hype surrounding it is the new 5 speed automated manual transmission which Maruti Suzuki refers to as ‘EZ Drive’. This gearbox can be thought of as a regular automatic gearbox, in the sense that there is no clutch pedal and the selector lever looks very similar to a conventional automatic transmission; but, it differs from them because it uses electronically controlled hydraulic actuators to shift up and down through gears. This provides for effortless driving and no matter how jammed up the roads are, navigating through them is a breeze.

The peppier drive is supported by the EZ technology and an innovative transmission fitted inside the car. The auto gearshift, also termed as automated manual transmission is the incredible technology used within the new hatch. It ultimately gives the feel of an automatic transmission vehicle, and provides better comfort with the gear shift. Basically, the hydraulic system imbibed in the car allows to shift gears without using a clutch, and this can be done either sequentially or fully automatically.

The Figo is a worthy competitor to the Celerio what keeps it ahead is the fact that it also has an option for diesel engine. Ford Figo after it received its facelift in 2012 looks even more stylish and also has many new types of equipment installed in its interior so one can definitely keep it as an option. The i10 may not be as spacious as the Celerio inside and also offers few equipments inside but it is definitely a fun car to drive and if you can extend your budget you might also gets your hand on the new Grand i10 which is packed with lots of interesting features and an impressive engine.
