Asked by: RNS Murthyon Nov 24, 2025
For a city commuter with occasional highway drives, which one should I choose between the Celerio and Wagon R?
Both the Celerio and the Wagon R come with the typical Maruti benefits of being fuel-efficient and cost-effective when it comes to service.
Between these two Maruti Suzuki cars, we would lean towards the Celerio. The Maruti Suzuki Wagon R has better headroom, but overall passenger space in the Celerio is more than enough, and the boot volume is also very good.
For your highway trips, the Maruti Suzuki Celerio will be a tad better with a more surefooted and composed feel at speed.

I own a 2012 Maruti Suzuki Ritz VDI. I enjoy the diesel performance and interior space, but I am facing issues with limited luggage capacity and a bumpy ride. I want to buy a used car under โน6 lakh that offers similar space and punch, but with better boot space and ride quality. My usage is around 500 km per month, mostly city with occasional 500โ600 km highway trips. I live in a small town, so I need a reliable car that local mechanics can repair. Suggestions?
The Maruti Suzuki Celerio would be a good option, the boot is nice and large and well-shaped, such that it can easily carry a couple of large suitcases. The ride quality of this car is also good, especially so soaking up low speed bumps typical in city roads.
On highways, the ride is stable and being a Maruti Suzuki car, it can be repaired almost anywhere. The only bit you would really miss when compared to your Ritz is the diesel engine torque, but at your budget, you would not find a diesel today.

I want to buy the Celerio LXi instead of the Alto K10 VXi. Is it a better option? Which car is more stable on the highway? How about body roll and NVH levels in both?
The Maruti Suzuki Celerio is a larger and heavier car, and correspondingly feels more confident on the highway than a Maruti Suzuki Alto K10. The Celerio will have a slight advantage in NVH, too, and will feel more stable during cornering. Both are city cars, though, and not ideal for highway drives.
Within the same budget, you could also consider the Tata Tiago in XE trim, which feels tougher in its build and drives with more heft than the Maruti Suzuki options.

I want a small car with good fuel efficiency. My budget is โน6 lakh. Iโm considering the Alto K10 and S-Presso as I want reliability and hassle-free ownership. Which one is better, or should I consider another car?
Given your requirements and your budget of โน6 lakh, you're right, the Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 and S-Presso are your best options. Both of these Maruti Suzuki cars use the same engine and gearboxes, and offer the same hassle-free driving experience.
Of the two, the Alto K10 has the advantage of offering six airbags as standard across the range, while the S-Presso only gets two. However, the Maruti Suzuki S-Presso offers more interior space, should you travel with passengers often.
You could also consider the Maruti Suzuki Celerio. You might only get a mid-range variant in your budget, but it offers more space and a more upmarket feel than the Alto and S-Presso.

Asked by: Abdul Rayaanon Nov 9, 2025
My parents, aged 55+, are looking to purchase a new car for city use. We specifically want an automatic. Our budget is โน6-12 lakh (on-road). Our main priorities are easy drivability in the city, some must-have features, good looks, and resale value. Mileage is not a concern as they drive only 500 km a month. The Cars we shortlisted are Alto K10, Swift, Celerio, i10, and Fronx. Which is a better value for money?
Of the cars you have shortlisted, the Maruti Suzuki Celerio is probably the best value for money, as it is priced just above the Alto K10 and shares its engine, while offering up space, practicality, interior quality, and some features from larger, more expensive Maruti Suzuki cars. It is also among the most fuel-efficient petrol cars on sale, even though that is not really an issue for you.
You should also consider the Nissan Magnite 1.0 Turbo CVT, as it offers a much smoother automatic gearbox for the same amount of money; all the cars you have shortlisted feature the more basic AMT automatic gearbox.

Asked by: Violet Monteiroon Nov 9, 2025
This will be my first car, and Iโm looking for an automatic version with a budget of about โน7 lakh. Please suggest.
Since this is your first car, a hatchback makes sense due to its compact size and ease of use. In your budget, consider the Maruti Suzuki Celerio or the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R.
Both come with the same 1.0-litre petrol engine paired with an AMT gearbox, but the Wagon R offers a more practical cabin. Both of these Maruti Suzuki cars are easy to maintain and hassle-free to own.

I want to buy a new car for my parents use. So the car will be mainly driven by drivers my budget is 6-8 Lakhs. Mostly driven in NCR occassionally highway trips to like Chandigarh max. Monthly drive would be around 300-600 KM. Fuel efficiency and low maintenance is prime requirement and easy access and exit also considering old age of the parents. Which car would you recommend?
We recommend the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R for your use case. Itโs spacious, easy for your parents to get in and out of, and comfortable enough for occasional highway trips. Itโs also very fuel-efficient, and being a Maruti Suzuki, it offers low ownership costs. If you prefer a more stylish option, consider the Maruti Suzuki Celerio, although it isnโt as practical as the Wagon R.

Asked by: Anand Naiduon Oct 24, 2025
I am new to driving and want to buy my first car. My average daily running will be around 60 to 80 km. Iโm 6 feet tall, so comfort and safety are important to me. My budget is around Rs 7โ8 lakh, and Iโll be buying the car on loan. Please suggest some good options that offer comfort, safety, and strong resale value in case I decide to exchange it in the future. Thank you, experts.
As a first car, a great all-rounder is the Maruti Suzuki Celerio 1.0 Petrol ZXi+. Its tall-boy design means it's spacious enough for a 6ft driver and it is among the most fuel efficient petrol cars on sale, given your extensive running of 60-80km per day. However, if you want to move up to something more premium in size and feel, consider a Maruti Suzuki Swift VXI (O) MT or a Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Sportz (O) MT, although at your budget, only these mid-range models will be available.

I have to buy my first car. My budget is up to โน7 lakh. Please suggest a fuel-efficient option.
You can consider the Maruti Suzuki Celerio. It is among the most fuel-efficient cars on the market and is spacious and practical too. You will also get the top-spec ZXi+ variant within your budget.

Asked by: Vignesh Ramachanon Oct 9, 2025
I'm considering purchasing a city car with an automatic transmission and am evaluating options like the Maruti Suzuki Alto, Celerio, and Tata Tiago. Should I also explore used car options in addition to new ones? I have my parents' Volkswagen Virtus for highway drives.
Both the Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 and the Maruti Suzuki Celerio are good choices for city driving due to their ease of handling, low maintenance, and fuel efficiency. The Alto K10 is smaller and more maneuverable in traffic, while the Celerio offers more space and a larger boot, making it better suited for families.
The Tata Tiago has a more modern design and a stronger crash safety rating, having scored 4 stars in the 2021 Global NCAP test. In comparison, the Alto K10 scored 2 stars in 2023, and the new Celerio has not been tested yet.
