Maruti Celerio VXi – The Most Value For Money?
The video gives us a glimpse of all the things that are available on the VXi version of the Celerio. Now, the Celerio has been recently launched and boasts of some extraordinary mileage figures. It comes with the tag of India’s most fuel-efficient car. The YouTuber starts the video by pointing out the differences on the outside in comparison to the higher trims. The front fascia loses out on fog lamps, the side profile misses out on request sensors to enable keyless entry, there are 14-inch steel wheels with wheels covers. The higher variants get the 15-inch tyres and the top model gets alloy wheels in black. Apart from that, the rear looks almost the same as the other trims.

On the inside is where the differences become more apparent. As soon as one enters the cabin, the steering wheel feels basic without any buttons for audio or multimedia, the instrument cluster looks almost similar to the one that is currently on sale, there is no infotainment display on the centre console, you won’t find any audio system either and the space at the centre looks empty. You will have to get an aftermarket unit that would most likely fit well in the space provided. The power window controls are on the centre console, similar to the other models. The space at the rear is decent too. The boot is quite spacious and deep. However, there is no provision for a bootlamp. All in all, the VXi variant gets all the basic features but if you want some more, then you could consider the ZXi variant which is the second from the top. At Rs 5.63 lakh, ex-showroom price, it is a full Rs 1.31 lakh cheaper than the top trim.
