Still fresh from its local debut a couple of months ago, Suzuki Auto Philippines continues to promote its refreshed Celerio hatchback. Slotting in between the entry-level Alto 800 and the larger Swift, the Celerio is the perfect choice for first-time car buyers, being a well-equipped model at an affordable price. Compared to its predecessor, the second-generation Celerio is longer and taller, which equates to more legroom and higher headroom, matched with a complete design overhaul both inside and out. Despite being launched a couple of months ago, the Celerio gains an updated infotainment system. Available in only one variant, the Celerio comes standard with multi-reflector halogen headlamps, a chrome front grille, color-keyed bumpers, front fog lamps, fender-mounted side repeaters, color-keyed side-view mirrors, color-keyed grip-type door handles, a roof-mounted antenna, a rear spoiler, a rear wiper with a washer, halogen rear combination tail lamps, a color-keyed rear door handle, and 14-inch alloy wheels. Inside, the Celerio comes equipped with power windows, power door locks, power-adjustable side-view mirrors, a 3-spoke urethane steering wheel, an analog instrument cluster with an integrated multi-information display, a silver-accented dashboard, fabric seats, 4-way manual-adjustable front seats with fixed headrests, a 60:40 split-folding rear seat with adjustable headrests, a rear tonneau cover, a manual air-conditioning system, and a 7-inch touchscreen monitor with AM / FM / CD / MP3 / USB / AUX-in functionality with 4 speakers. In terms of safety, the Celerio comes standard with driver and front passenger airbags, ABS, 3-point seatbelts, ventilated disc brakes up front, electric power steering, side impact beams, rear child safety door locks, a rear window defogger, a high-mount stop lamp, an engine immobilizer, and keyless entry with an alarm. The Celerio is powered by a refreshed 1.0L 3-cylinder DOHC gasoline engine that packs 68 PS and 90 Nm of torque mated to either a 5-speed manual or a CVT transmission.
