Launch
The Suzuki Celerio was formally introduced in the Philippines on August 5, 2015. It came with the 1.0-liter K10B from the previous generation. The engine makes 67 hp and 90 Nm of torque. It can either be had with a CVT or a manual transmission. It's also launched with only one trim level and comes standard with a 7-inch touchscreen display with offline navigation.
Platform, Chassis and Powertrain
The Suzuki Celerio comes with the K10B a 1.0-liter 3-cylinder naturally aspirated engine that produces 67 hp and 90 Nm of torque. Power is sent exclusively to the front wheels.
The subcompact hatchback rides on McPherson suspension up front and torsion beam at the rear. Stopping power comes from ventilated discs for the front brakes and leading and trailing drums for the rear. It comes with electric-assisted power steering and 14-inch alloy wheels.
Driving Performance
The Suzuki Celerio drives like a go-kart, this is in thanks to its lightweight construction. Despite having a small displacement and sub-100-hp engine the vehicle still performs. There is enough torque to go around and bring the vehicle up to speed even with passengers. The CVT variant provides optimum torque with every press of the gas pedal.
For handling, the vehicle can be on the numb side. The steering feel can also be on the dull side. But overall, the vehicle will tend to corner flat thanks to its stiff suspension, an added bonus for those who like to go through winding roads.
