Suzuki Celerio - i10's rival explores Vietnamese market

The imported A-class car model using a 1-liter 3-cylinder engine is on display at the 2017 Vietnam Auto Show.

The Celerio has a prominent front end with a large horizontal chrome grille connecting the two headlights. The bonnet has two embossed lines extending from the inner corner above the headlights, and the fog lights are located deep below the front bumper. The rear taillights are large, and the third brake light is integrated into the rear door to make the car safer when decelerating.

Celerio is in the same segment as small cars like Toyota Wigo.

The car is 3,600 mm long, 1,600 mm wide and 1,540 mm high, with a wheelbase of 2,425 mm. These figures are comparable to competitors on the market.

The interior has fabric seats and a plastic dashboard similar to A-class cars to increase competitiveness. Celerio also designs amenities to optimize space and create a comfortable feeling.

Celerio uses a 3-cylinder, 1-liter engine, 68 horsepower, maximum torque of 89 Nm, integrated with automatic engine shutdown technology when stopping to help the car save fuel and reduce CO2 emissions.
