Suzuki Celerio (2014-2019) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Cheap to buy and run	Interior feels very cheap
Comfortable and easy to drive	Some would wish for more equipment
Good interior space given its size	Stodgy handling

Quick Summary

The Suzuki Celerio (2014-2019) is a no-frills, budget-friendly city car designed for simple, dependable transport. Despite its diminutive exterior dimensions, it offers surprising interior space with seating for five and a generous 254-litre boot, thanks to a high roofline. While the interior features a basic, cheap-feeling construction, even the entry-level models are reasonably equipped with air-conditioning, a DAB radio, alloy wheels, and Bluetooth connectivity, making it a straightforward choice for urban commuting.

Driving dynamics are functional rather than exciting, with a tight turning circle ideal for city use and peppy 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engines. The ride is comfortable at higher speeds, although it can be knobbly at low speeds, and motorway journeys are hampered by noticeable wind and road noise. Running costs are a strong point, with excellent fuel economy (up to 60mpg for Dualjet models) and low VED for cars registered before April 2017. Its use of a timing chain further reduces long-term maintenance concerns, making it a very economical choice.

Best for: Drivers on a budget, those needing a practical city car with good interior space for five, and buyers prioritising low running costs.

Not ideal for: Buyers seeking a premium feel or stylish design, drivers who prioritise dynamic handling, or those who frequently drive long distances at motorway speeds.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Celerio if: You're on a budget, need a practical city car with good interior space for five, or prioritise low running costs.

Consider alternatives if: You want a more premium feel, dynamic handling, or frequently drive long distances at motorway speeds.

Competitive Position: The Suzuki Celerio (2014-2019) holds its own in the city car segment by offering exceptional value, surprising interior space for its size, and very low running costs. While it doesn't boast premium materials or engaging driving dynamics like some rivals, its honest, no-frills approach, combined with decent equipment levels for the price, makes it a highly sensible and economical choice for budget-conscious urban drivers and small families.
