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 the ultimate no-frills small car, offering simple, dependable transport without pretence or frippery. Whilst the interior is constructed from dour grey plastic and feels cheap, the Celerio's biggest selling point is its generous interior space. Despite diminutive external dimensions that make parking effortless, the high roofline and elevated seating position create a surprisingly roomy cabin with space for five occupants, good legroom and headroom, and a generous 254-litre boot. The driving position is comfortable, and it even features five cupholders.

The 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engines are peppy and willing, delivering around 60mpg on average from the Dualjet model and approximately 50mpg from the standard engine. Running costs are exceptionally low, particularly for cars registered before 1 April 2017, which incur no vehicle excise duty thanks to sub-100g/km CO2 emissions. The Celerio uses a metal timing chain rather than a belt, reducing long-term maintenance costs. Whilst the handling is stodgy and motorway performance is modest, the Celerio remains comfortable at lower speeds and offers excellent value for budget-conscious buyers seeking practical, economical transport.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking cheap, economical transport, families needing practical space, and those prioritising low running costs over driving dynamics.

Not ideal for: Buyers seeking premium interior quality, extensive equipment, engaging handling, or motorway comfort.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Celerio if: You're seeking budget-friendly, economical transport, need practical space for a small car, or prioritise low running costs over driving dynamics.

Consider alternatives if: You desire premium interior quality, extensive equipment, engaging handling, or superior motorway comfort.

Competitive Position: The Suzuki Celerio (2014-2019) is a solid contender in the budget city car segment, offering exceptional value and practicality. Whilst it matches the Citroën C1 on overall ratings, the Skoda Citigo and Hyundai i10 edge ahead with superior expert and user ratings, suggesting they offer a more refined experience. However, the Celerio's generous interior space, low running costs, and affordability make it an excellent choice for budget-conscious buyers. Those willing to stretch slightly further may find the Skoda Citigo or Hyundai i10 offer better build quality and driving refinement, though at a higher purchase price.
