Best Value City Car? Suzuki Celerio Review

- So, you're after a small car to get you from A to B, but it can't cost the earth to buy or to run? Well, the Suzuki Celerio could be right up your street, check this video to find out why.
At a price starting from £7,999 it's one of the cheapest new cars you can buy in the UK at the moment and the base models gives you the basics such as front electric windows, six airbags, DAB radio, CD player and central locking.
The model tested here is the mid-range model, which is priced from £9,649 and adds 14" alloy wheels, Bluetooth, air conditioning and remote central locking.
Underneath the bonnet you'll find a naturally aspirated three-cylinder 1.0 litre petrol engine which offers 67bhp and 90Nm of torque. This power is mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox, although an automatic is available if you go for the range-topping model.
A Dualjet engine is also available - for the mid-range model - which is essentially the same engine but it has twin fuel injectors. giving it a bit more torque and better economy.

Hello everyone, thank you for dropping in on my review of the Suzuki Celerio. As always, if you have any questions about the car, or indeed about the channel, please comment and I will get back to you as quickly as I can. Thanks for watching!
I just have a bit of housekeeping to attend to with this video, I've mentioned that the Celerio's boot is the biggest in class, but in fact the Picanto offers 1 litre more (255 litres) therefore that is the biggest in class. Regardless of this, the Celerio still offers a very competitive boot size in its class.
It is also faster than you might think. th-cam.com/video/an2JkpR_PJg/w-d-xo.html
This is a reasonable and compelling review. You have a clear narration and your videos have the simplicity of showing the essentials. A very professional job. Recently I replaced my 2010 VW polo with a 2017 Celerio and understanding that they are vehicles that correspond to two different categories I dont feel disappointed. The Celerio is a simple and functional vehicle, but very fun to drive. It bothers me how other authors insist on making fun of Celerio making forced comparisons and criticizing him for the lack of leather seats or turbo charger.
Hi Claudio, thanks for watching, and thanks for the feedback.
Hi Aaron, what a refreshing review of a not so fancy car. Very honest and down to earth. I have owned an unpretentious Celerio SZ2 for 2.5 years now and I cannot really complain. Very peppy, easy to park and economical. I have been averaging 60 - 63.4 mpg and have covered almost 20k miles so far, driving to work, going shopping etc, on the motorways and in Europe with no faults at all. Servicing is very affordable, although the Celerio falls into group 7 insurance - all Suzukis are classified well behind the Citigo or i10 basic spec. I have seen car prices go up and up and at the moment £8k for the base trim seems quite excessive considering what you do not get as standard. Other manufacturers have really upped their game these days regarding the safety features etc. What I am pleased about is that Suzuki have expanded its dealership network enormously since last year, so the brand does want to get a larger piece of the UK car market, but what I definitely admire about any Suzuki car is their reliability - a key factor over some other cars that would require fixing it again tomorrow.
Thank you for that lovely feedback, and thank you very much for watching 😀
Nice balanced review. For me, the way the lightness shines through the ride quality is a joy to behold. I've owned a number of BMWs and Audis and I genuinely prefer driving the Celerio. Heavy cars feel dull and artificial by comparison.
Build and engineering quality of the Celerio are excellent. It is assembled with precision, and all controls feel smooth and well judged. The gearshift has the best action and feel of any car I have driven, and the drivetrain gives you the sense it could take serious miles and never miss a beat.
While many "Premium" cars major on superficial materials, they do not feel as well engineered as the Celerio. It has quality where it counts.
Hello likewayt, thanks for watching, and thanks for the feedback.
I drive a 2017 swift and can feel the benefits of the lightness too. I particularly like the curved, upright widescreen that gives outstanding visibility compared to all other cars with slanting windscreens .
Agree
I think this is a cracking little car - owners reviews seem as delighted with their cars as motoring journalists are unimpressed - not least because it has proven very reliable and the quality is good where you can't see it - in the engineering. Nice review, Aaron.
The thing is, is that you need to have the right expectations of this car. Yes, it's cheap and plasticy, but it's a car that in standard form, costs less than £8,000. Like anything in life, you get what you pay for. If this car was £5,000 more, then of course you could complain about its shortcomings. Thanks for watching Nodge X!
I would have this over any other City car, to be honest. It will do over 60 mpg, is proving very reliable and that boxy shape makes it roomier than nearly all its rivals.
Indeed Nodge X, It is good in its engineering. I have one, everything just works, I get 27km/l average, and it tops out at the autobahn at 179km/h gps measured. And at that speed, it is still stable, and doing 14km/l(maximum). At a 1150km trip, of which 400km mostly unrestricted autobahn, the rest max 130km/h, I managed to get 21km/l. The car just does more than you expect, and that is a very good thing.
This is a decent realistic review that covers the basics with a pleasing lack of quirky or forced humour this video tells any prospective buyer all they need to know and all in all I enjoyed it.
Hi George, thanks for watching, and thanks for the lovely comment!
I always enjoy your reviews Aaron. Your opening sequence is fantastic, very powerful and professional. Keep it up!
Hello zaporida, thanks for watching, and thanks for the great feedback - I really appreciate that!
Always setting the bar high with whatever car you test! Video production is spot on, you’re learning my friend 👊🏼 ... Looking forward to our future collabs soon !
Cheers Chris! I look forward to upgrading my camera gear, which should be a few months time hopefully.
I'll help you with your next car review of choice with my camera gear, let me know !
Looks like a fantastic car for the price, will get you from A to B nicely! Great review mate👍🏻
Cheers buddy, thanks for watching.
It seems a lovely little car. I actually LIKE the look of it lol?
Great review Aaron. Very impressive space for a small city car. Good value and should be very reliable, being a Suzuki.
Andy K. UK Yeah, it's certainly not a bad little car. Thanks for watching Andy.
I bought a grey suzuki celerio sz3 5 door today, love it!
Good stuff Brian, I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for watching.
Great review! We don't expect a leather covered dashboard on budget cars and a 300 hp V8 engine. Thanks for not comparing it with a Rolls-Royce. Only stupid people make fun of intelligent, little cars.
Thank you Wolf, I'm glad you liked the video, thanks for watching.
Nowt up with the car. Good little runner and very economical
Really enjoying my grey celerio sz3, great car!, my brother in law s dad owns a blue celerio sz3 as well!, enough said lol.
Hi Brian, thanks for watching, and thanks for the comment.
Great video, i had one of these cars myself, it was fantastic.
A little noisy when driving on the motorway for a long time, but overall a great car
you get a sub from me,
Hi SlomBag, thanks for the kind feedback, and thanks for watching! (and subbing of course)
Hey :) What car are you daily driving yourself? :)
I have a 2006 SEAT Ibiza FR and I also have a 1998 Mazda MX-5 Mk1. The Ibiza will hopefully be replaced by the end of the year though.
man nice review wonder if the celerio or mirage would be the best choice fuel space
I've not driven the Mirage, but I've not heard great things about it to be honest. Thanks for watching.
@@CarObsession thank to you man
An annoying feature of the Celerio is the front headrests, they are tilted forwards and non adjustable. This makes my head lean forward and is uncomfortable and I would have thought not ideal in a crash.
I watched this video a few days ago for the first time. Could you clarify what the reviewer says abouth the clutch pedal (?) (from 07:55 till 08:07). I could not understand that part. Thank you.
Hello Pieter, thanks for watching. I'm not really sure how else to explain it to be honest. The pedal has a springyness to it so it feels like it's a bit too eager to return to its highest point.
@@CarObsession Thank you. So you did not comment on the point of engagement of the clutch? I thought I heard you say that that point was high.
@@pieterjansen6701 I think I said it can be difficult to find.
Strange. In Thailand where this car is manufactured the red is a no cost option and white is the colour you pay more for.
Different regions often have different prices/specifications - thanks for watching
What do you expect its cheap.. but accept it, this car is way better compare to other on its class.. fuel economy and a lot of space too..
Hello Hil Verduz, thanks for watching. I'm not sure what you mean by your comment as I fully accept this car is cheap, a point I made in this video. In fact, the title of this video even points to the Celerio being the best value city car, so I'm a bit confused by what you have said.
it's a shame that they dropped these from the UK lineup after 2017.
@Car Obsession hi iwant to buy an automatic car,is the celerio worth it? or you believe is a waste of money?
I suppose it depends on why you're looking for an auto.
@@CarObsession I didn't understand what you mean!i want a clear answer!what is your opinion on celerio automatic?
@@david-hy6zb Well I've never driven one, so I can't give you a clear answer.
One of the only cars that come close to its claimed fuel figures
That's probably down to the fact it's naturally aspirated - in all my time reviewing cars I've always found NA engines get closer to the official figures than turbocharged models. Thanks for watching.
I have one, it's not quite as economical as my old Peugeot 107, but still very good
Nice car i like it
Hi Sakhile, thanks for watching, and thanks for the comment.
Celerio was rated the most reliable small car by 2019 What Car? Reliability survey. Surprised?
Not overly, Japanese cars are well known for their reliability and Suzuki is no different. Thanks for watching 👍🏽.
@@CarObsessionyes. Suzuki as a brand came 1st and 3rd in this survey in 2018 and 19 respectively.
Would you believe that a Suzuki Celerio comes in at a higher insurance group than a 1.1 litre Citroën C2?! (Celerio is group 7, C2 1.1 is group 3-4)
No I wouldn't, could it be based on crash stats, or that the Celerio is more money?
Car Obsession Well, the C2 would obviously be cheaper than the Suzuki as it’s only available used, and the Celerio only scored 3 stars in the Euro NCAP crash tests, whereas the C2 managed 4 stars in adult occupant protection.
(Admittedly those scores were recorded when the C2 was new 15 years ago in 2003, but times have changed since then)
No, I'm talking about insurance crash stats I.E., how many crashes per year involved that car, etc. For example the insurance on my Ibiza FR went up by £300 one year, and they said this was based on my model of car being involved in more accidents that year.
Its because it has 5 seats . It scored 3 NCap stars due to low level of assisted safety features IE lane warning
6 airbags?? really? not just two in the front?
It's got front airbags, side airbags and also curtain airbags - 6 in total. Thanks for watching.
Can I own mine while I'm earning 6.5 after deduction
Sorry, I don't understand the question
I hate the massive aerial and the manual mirrors
Fair enough, but you can't expect a car of this price to have electric mirrors. Thanks for watching.
Electric mirrors are a waste of time and money. Once you set them in the right position you dont touch them again, so why do you need them ? Laziness and “got to have all the toys and gadgets” generation I guess.
HI... THE MUSIC IS BORING JUST AN HONEST OPINION. MAYBE YOU CAN USE MORE LIVELY MUSIC NEXT TIME.
Thanks for the feedback Roger, and thanks for watching.
Dacia Sandero is better
What makes you say that Richard?
@@CarObsession Boot is much bigger, parts are much cheaper, I prefer the styling, more car for the money in every sense, faster 0.9tce engine and the touchscreen with Bluetooth and sat nav. That should do it!
The top spec Sandero with alloys is under £11,000. It's got the old Clio chassis and current engine, so it's a pretty good drive for such a bargain car. Dacia are going places. If I chose a Suzuki, it'd be the Ignis, just because I think it's funky.
@@evilmario6061 That's fair enough, but the boot would be bigger as it sits in the class above; the Celerio is a city car - the Swift would more comparable to the Sandero. However, the rest of your points are valid, thanks for watching, and for commenting 👍🏽.
@@CarObsession Consumer choices are based on prices for this end of the market. The Sandero is the same price or cheaper than the Celerio, so it's definitely comparable even though it's quite a lot bigger. I don't think anyone would disregard the Sandero for being too big if they're looking for a small hatchback.
Although the Sandero has a bigger boot than the Swift, it's a class below in terms of pricing.
@@evilmario6061 It's hard to disagree with those points 👍🏽
