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 an honest, no-frills city car that prioritises practicality and affordability over style and luxury. Despite its diminutive exterior dimensions, the high roofline and elevated seating position create a surprisingly spacious interior with room for five occupants, generous legroom and headroom, and a 254-litre boot. The interior is constructed from durable grey plastic and basic fabrics, reflecting its budget positioning, but it remains comfortable and functional for everyday driving.

The 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engines are responsive and willing, delivering around 60mpg on the Dualjet model and 50mpg on the standard version under careful driving. Running costs are exceptionally low, particularly for pre-April 2017 models which incur no vehicle excise duty thanks to sub-100g/km CO2 emissions. The timing chain design eliminates costly belt replacements, and servicing through Suzuki's "Three Year Plus" scheme offers reduced rates for older vehicles. Whilst handling is uninspiring and motorway refinement is limited, the Celerio excels as an affordable, practical, and economical choice for budget-conscious buyers seeking reliable urban transport.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking affordable, practical transport, those prioritising interior space and low running costs, and drivers primarily using the car for urban and suburban driving.

Not ideal for: Buyers seeking premium interior quality, advanced technology and infotainment, engaging driving dynamics, or those regularly travelling at motorway speeds.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Celerio if: You're seeking an affordable, practical city car with excellent interior space, low running costs, and straightforward reliability for urban and suburban driving.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise premium interior quality, advanced technology, engaging handling, or require a car suitable for frequent motorway travel.

Competitive Position: The Suzuki Celerio (2014-2019) occupies a competitive position in the budget city car segment, offering exceptional value and practicality. However, rivals like the Skoda Citigo and Hyundai i10 score higher with expert reviewers and offer better value deals, suggesting they may feel less cheap and provide a more refined driving experience. The Citroën C1 matches the Celerio's expert rating but offers slightly better value deals. For buyers prioritising affordability and interior space above all else, the Celerio remains an excellent choice, though those willing to stretch their budget slightly may find more polished alternatives among its competitors.
