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 sophistication. Despite its diminutive exterior dimensions, the Celerio offers surprising interior space thanks to its high roofline and elevated seating position, accommodating five occupants with generous legroom and headroom. The 254-litre boot is generous for its class, and even base models include air-conditioning, central locking, DAB radio, alloy wheels, and Bluetooth connectivity.

Running costs are impressively low, with the Dualjet model achieving around 60mpg and standard versions around 50mpg in real-world driving. The 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine is peppy and responsive, whilst the timing chain design eliminates costly belt replacements. Pre-April 2017 models benefit from zero vehicle excise duty thanks to sub-100g/km CO2 emissions. Whilst the interior feels cheap and handling is uninspiring, the Celerio delivers comfortable, easy motoring around town with a tight turning circle ideal for urban driving. As a used car, it represents exceptional value for budget-conscious buyers seeking practical, dependable transport.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers, those seeking maximum interior space in a compact package, and drivers prioritising low running costs and affordability over premium feel.

Not ideal for: Those wanting premium interior quality, advanced equipment, or engaging driving dynamics, or drivers who spend significant time at motorway speeds.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Celerio if: You're on a tight budget, seeking maximum interior space in a compact car, or prioritising low running costs and affordability over premium feel and equipment.

Consider alternatives if: You desire premium interior quality, advanced equipment, engaging driving dynamics, or plan to spend significant time at motorway speeds.

Competitive Position: The Suzuki Celerio (2014-2019) is a strong contender in the budget city car segment, offering exceptional value and practical interior space. Whilst it underperforms rivals like the Skoda Citigo and Hyundai i10 in expert ratings and user satisfaction, its affordability and low running costs make it an attractive option for budget-conscious buyers. However, those willing to stretch their budget slightly may find the Citigo or i10 offer superior quality, equipment, and driving experience, whilst the Citroen C1 offers comparable value at a similar price point.
