Suzuki will try to tackle the affordable cars segment in the UK by launching the new Celerio. The car is going to address people who were thinking of buying the new Dacia Sandero, currently the most affordable car in the UK.
 
Celerio SZ3
 
To do that, the new Suzuki Celerio starts at 7999 GBP. The price regards the SZ3 trim level, that includes standard equipment like six airbags (driver, passenger, side and curtain), ESP, air conditioning, alloy wheels, DAB Radio, CD Tuner, USB, Bluetooth connectivity and remote central locking.
 
Celerio SZ4 
 
Even with six airbags, the Celerio failed to obtain a good rating in EuroNCAP crash-test sessions, where it got only three stars. The next trim level, SZ4, adds polished alloy wheels, rear electric windows, front fog lamps, body coloured door mirrors and chrome front grille.
 
Exterior 
 
With a compact body measuring just 3,600mm (141 inches) in length and a width of 1,600mm (62 inches), Celerio has a turning circle of just 9.4 metres too making it one of the most maneuverable in its class. The 2,425mm (95 inches) long wheelbase provides a tandem distance of 743mm (29 inches) which gives plenty of space in the cabin for five occupants.
 
Engine 
 
Celerio offers low CO2 emissions of 99g/km and 65.7mpg on the EC combined cycle from its 1.0-litre three cylinder 68PS engine.  Next summer a new engine will be available offering even higher combined fuel economy of 78.4 mpg and CO2 emissions that fall to just 84g/km thanks to the introduction of Suzuki’s new Dualjet engine technology. This engine will also incorporate a stop/start facility when stationary.
