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 city car designed for simple, dependable transport. Despite its diminutive exterior, it offers impressive interior space with seating for five, good legroom and headroom, and a generous 254-litre boot. While its handling can be stodgy, the Celerio boasts a useful tight turning circle for urban driving and a surprisingly comfortable ride at higher speeds, although motorway journeys can be noisy and feel out of its depth.

Despite its budget focus, the Celerio is reasonably well-equipped, with even basic SZ3 models featuring air-conditioning, DAB radio, and Bluetooth. Running costs are low, with efficient engines capable of up to 60mpg (Dualjet models) and many pre-2017 examples benefiting from zero vehicle excise duty. Its use of a timing chain rather than a belt also reduces long-term maintenance. The Celerio delivers honesty and simplicity, making it a super-cheap, spacious, and practical option for budget-conscious buyers.

Best for: Drivers on a budget, those needing maximum interior space in a city car, low running costs, simple and dependable transport.

Not ideal for: Buyers seeking a premium interior feel, sophisticated technology, dynamic handling, or quiet motorway cruising.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Celerio if: You're on a budget, seeking maximum interior space in a city car, prioritising low running costs, or want simple, dependable transport.

Competitive Position: The Suzuki Celerio (2014-2019) stands out as a highly practical and budget-friendly city car, offering exceptional interior space for its class and very low running costs, including potential zero VED for older models. While it sacrifices premium feel and dynamic handling compared to some rivals, its honesty, simplicity, and dependability make it a strong contender for buyers prioritising value and practicality over refinement or performance.
