My family owns 5 Suzukis. My wife has a Baleno, my daughter drives a Celerio,, I got a Vitara, a GSX-R1000 and an outboard motor. We never, ever had any issues or hiccups with them. I've been a Suzuki lover since the mid 70s. Their reliability is is phenomenal!!!

Hi, am a physically challenged guy from India. I own a 2 year old Suzuki Celerio Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) manufactured by Maruti Suzuki. It has run approximately 29000 kms. Been on 600 kms trips twice on vacation from Bangalore in State of Karnataka to Kannur in State of Kerala In the last week was my second trip. The figures are as below Fuel (Petrol) consumed between the ODO readings = 24.5 Liters Distance travelled between readings was 475 km of which approximately 249 km was Flat 3 lane Highways while around 226 km was Hilly winding roads with steep ascents and descents inside the Western Ghats of South India. Fuel Efficiency achieved is 19.36 km per Liter of Petrol. The car is spacious for 4 members with good luggage space, has fair ground clearance, good road grip and compact overall.

Great review, Thomas! I have never considered this car before. 2500 revs at 100 km/h is a very good result for such a small car. I appreciate your critical comments about smaller cars getting bullied by bigger cars. I want to add some information about the topic of interior quality and sustainability. The W 204 C class prefacelift version had been criticized a lot for its "bad interior quality" with a lot of "cheap" hard plastics. Years later these critics have been proven wrong. The German car magazine "Auto Bild" tested a C 180 over 100000 km, 200000km, 300000 km, 400000 km. The testers stated, the interior of the car looked almost like new after running ten times round the earth. They haven't finished the test yet. They are heading towards 500000 km now. The quality you can just touch and feel often times doesn't last very long. The Celerio seems to be a really solid car with a durable engine. The first Polo GT had 60 (!) hp. This was the top version. Today we wrinkle our nose about 68 hp in a small car. The Golf I was only 10 cm longer than the Celerio. Back then the Golf was called a spacious car for families. Why do we as humans always want more and more and still are not satisfied with what we have. Imagine how much energy we could save, if we were content with much smaller sizes of cars and engines! Combined with our modern technology we could easily drive cars with a consumption of 3 to 4 liters per 100 km in everyday traffic conditions. Instead our average consumption is probably double the size, maybe even more. Fun at the expense of our environment will not last very long. I don't call it fun, I call it iniquity!

I do like the way you don't compare small cheap cars with big posh salloons, but judge them on their own terms, and at their own price point, Thomas. Great review of a very basic but likeable machine. You're absolutely right about larger car drivers behaving badly towards small cars.

I consider Suzuki to be an honest, simple car brand. They do not produce flashy or sporty cars,but what they do produce are cars that are very reliable and run for years.

Hi Autogefuhl! Great review, thank you so much for test driving the Celerio. Greetings from the UK. I have had my Celerio for a year now, got a good discount from the local dealer - at £6k for a brand new car you cannot go wrong with such purchase! The car is free from road tax at 99g of CO2/km, 1 liter engine hardly burns fuel, I could literally go for miles and lately I have reached 62.2 mpg (4.5 l/100km). The Celerio is comfortable to drive, well stable at speed, very smooth and responsive on the motorway and I do enjoy the ride. My entry level version does without air conditioning, no remote locking, no Bluetooth or alloy wheels, but being on the budget I cannot really ask for more. Spacious for four adults, there is plenty of headroom, surprisingly sprightly, easy to drive and park, good visibility all around, decent boot space, gear indicator, outside temperature gauge, DAB radio, ABS, EBD and BA, 6 airbags, two isofix points, electric front windows, height adjustable driver seat, USB and 60/40 split folding rear seats. On top, Suzuki scores high on customer satisfaction and reliability . I absolutely love the gear box, so precise and easy to shift! I know the interior is plasticky and the car feels so light, but at this price point, you will not find a brand new car so well equipped or so practical. To be perfectly honest with you, even a stepped up Dacia Sandero will cost more on finance, it would not be so cheap to run. A basic i10, Citigo, Up or a Mii's starting price is much higher to start with. My observation is, what we actually pay for is the badge. If a car can be safe and do the job of getting me from A to B, why would I pay more? Looking forward to future reviews on your channel!

A very fair review, Thomas. What separates you and your colleagues from other reviewers is that you review cars on their own terms - you don't expect the Celerio to be a luxurious, shit-off-a-shovel Grand Tourer, but judge it on its own merits.

My car is a celerio diesel ,,sweet little ride, really enjoyed driving 88000 kms now in 4.5 years.🥰

Please have more budget car reviews of cars from different parts of the world.

Great review, Thomas! You`re the best! Best regards from Costa Rica, Central America.

I rode in one last night for 1.5 hours on the highway, and it was a great car. I was shocked when I heard it was less than $10,000 new. I'd buy one.

I really like your reviews Thomas. Real driving experience in the city and open roads. Very thorough and informative. Excellent, thank you.

Great review Thomas. Unlike some other reviewers, it's refreshing to see a comprehensive review on practical city cars like the Celerio and Up. You're the best.

Very good review, I started driving on this car and really love it. Good budget car and even suggest people with high budget for this car if they want to buy for city drive.

I really love this channel ,, nice presentation as always from you THOMAS !!

Compare Volkswagen up!: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p9Gehapnv9LZYn0.html Compare Seat Mii: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/quB3ebWj2dilfKc.html Compare Citroen C1: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9yfYNuDnbGmYok.html Compare Toyota Aygo: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e9iKhrujm9eUZnU.html

I like that you show also more affordable cars.

THATS GREAT AUTOGEFUHL not everyone have the budget for big cars. Great channel !

I just got one of these, and agree the best bit is the engine, its feels very alive and responsive, great gear change, comfortable and it is quiet on the motorway. Remarkable for a car that cost less than £6000!

I am buying this car because of your review. There are a lot of competitors in the Philippine market, and this one is for the more pragmatic group of people.

Thanks for the detailed and precise review, there are no KZfaq reviews for Suzuki Celerio Philippine spec and your inputs helped us decide to have this as our first car. We have the CVT variant with navigation head-unit and I can say that your review is spot on. No frills, not fancy ride but this awesome basic car will bring you from point A to B, with excellent fuel consumption. Picked the same color.

excellent review.

We've had our Celerio AGS (the automated manual) five months now and have done just short of 4,000 miles. In that time it's averaged 72.3 mpg (3.91 L/100 km). I attribute this to its light weight, it's high compression ratio engine and it's use of 0W20 engine oil. IMO it beats all the other small cars we've owned (a Daihatsu Sirion, a 1st generation Aygo & a 2nd generation Kia Picanto) and is better than my daughter's new i10 auto which averages just 38 mpg. I liked it so much I found one for my daughter-in-law and I'm now actively looking for a third one so the wife and I can have one each.

Great review. Very informative.. Planning to buy this car as my first family car. This helps a lot to decide. Thank you!

Thomas you are my fave car reviewer in youtubeverse lol. Relax and detail and very entertaining. And i really like when u reviews small cars like smart fortwo and suzuki ignis. Cheers.

Thank you for this honest review. I always like to watch your reviews. The Celerio may not be the prettiest of his class, but IT is a solid investment. Buying reliabillity for a reasonable price. I have my doubst on the looks of the car but I also know you cannot go wrong with Suzuki.

Top notch review, gold standard!. I owned an early suzuki car, four door with a 360cc two stroke 3cylinder 2stroke rear placement motor. Cruised all day at 100 kph no problems, a fun car!

It's a little beast with a power packed engine.

This review is really correct. l can say Suzuki celerio is far cheaper than competitors, all the essential optionals, optimized space, very confortable, many other good optionals available for a small extra price, an excellent automatic transmission last generation available. Last but not least it uses little gasoline. Ok someone may not like the design and prefer other models, some others like more Lamborghini instead, but celerio remain a wonderful city car. l have one since a year. Blue of corse.

Awsome review man 👍 subscribed

very good review. thinking of getting it now. thanks thomas

Ha ha I thought you were kidding when you told me you were gonna do the celerio. You're hilarious! Great job

Good professional review

Hello Autogefühl. I always enjoy your reviews :) My next car will be probably this Celerio or the new Swift. So thanks for this test, it is really helpful.

Great review !

Hellow sir ,between suzuki celerio vxi petro and suzuki swift lxi petrol,which should i go for.

This is what I am looking for. More function than style but Im going for the higher specs. all power and airbags. Very good review!

People don't appreciate this car for what it is. It doesn't make much sense in Germany, but in poor countries, it is considerably cheaper than rivals. And it's REALLY fun to drive.

this car is going to be launched in our country soon and I'm planning to buy this . thanks for the review

why does this have no fog light? i bought mine with foglight already. very nice so far

i love that you take cheaper cars to

Nice car, good review, regards.

is this car good for long distance travel?

Mitsubishi mirage 2019 o Suzuki celerio 2019 ? Who is the best? Please I'll appreciate your opinion

14:56 moment was funny. Anyway,you're a very cool guy.

How about the Dacia Sandero? Thanks

You look like Clark Kent driving a blue celerio. Hehe great review!

a perfect roadtrip car 5/5

Great if you could include full model name in the description. Is this the Celerio with dualjet K10C engine ?

hyundai i10 best sell car in germany please which one would you recommend me this Suzuki Celerio or the hyundai i10 thanks

So cute the journalist ! ^^

Hi Autogefuhl. What can you say about its power steering? Is it 10/10?

hello which country u from

Salute, Thomas quick question for you and the team - where do you film most of your reviews :) ?

subscribed. you can review high end cars and economy cars very well. there are cars made for each purpose. other reviewers doesnt know how to deliver that.

Enjoyed your review. Sadly we no longer have Suzuki products sold in North America, but I enjoyed watching anyway for the car resembled my old Geo Metro, a rebadged Suzuki. The car had a throaty-sounding three cylinder engine that got 40 to 50 miles per gallon and with a five speed stick-shift the car could out accelerate my 95 Nissin Sentra with initial acceleration to about 40 mph. Such small cars as you related in Germany, also are bullied in the United States by the numerous amount of large SUVs and pickups that feel they own the road. Thanks for your review!

Thanks for this review! Please also do the Suzuki Swift if you can. ☺️

hi :) for your opinion.. what would be a better buy: suzuki celerio or the mitsubishi space star? #budgetmealhatchbacks

Can you test also the Nisan Micra please?

hey Autogefuhl, please do: Dacia Sandero, Dacia Duster, Peugeot 301(european budget cars) thank you so much for the efforts

Hi Thomas, can you review the new Dacia sandero?

Sound of the engine is very sporty.

cool review subscribed Banzai

Coole Sache. In meiner Heimatstadt Essen.

It's very cheap and basic motoring (for which there's always a niche) but not really comparable to cars such as the VW Up!. Design wise, as Tomas noted early on, it's a throwback to many years back. Personally, the design and interior reminds me of my 2002 Yaris. A lot of plain plastic too which reflects the marketing proposition. Overall, it's a pretty practical runaround car but really selling purely on price rather than comfort/ performance/ design. VW Up! for me (which is dearer in my country)- based purely on reviews (I haven't had an opportunity to drive one yet) I reckon that I could happily keep driving the Up! for many years whereas I'd reckon I'd be eager to trade in the Celerio after a shorter period. Thanks again for the review Tomas!

Thomas you were too polite.

omg....I never thought autogehful will review a car made for indian market primarily....as always die besten

nice review man Ima bettween the Suzuki Celerio and the Suzuki Ignis

Thanks..

i like skoda so much , so please make a full review about skoda kodiaq

It's just a thought but if you are going to road test this class of small, low powered cars, then you really should include a 'when can I change up to 5th gear?' test and a 'how does it drive up hills?' test. My Kia Picanto, even on the flat, 'lugs' terribly at less than 35 mph (56 kph). The Celerio is much more forgiving and is happy to change up at 30 mph. Likewise, the Kia's engine tends to run out of puff on long rising stretches of motorway necessitating a gear change. It's petrol consumption is also quite high (about 34 mpg). In contrast, the Celerio copes far better with such hills and it pull you up quite happily at 50 mph and 50 mpg. I've never driven an Up!/Citigo/Mii but I could easily imagine that pathetic 59 BHP engine really struggling on hills.

the more you look at this car the pretties it seems :D

very good car

Is that a Fiat 500 starting at 13:48?

Can you please review the Honda Brio?

Do Dacia Sandero review!

Hi. Thanks for a great review. I just bought a Celerio Style. It is only one of two "A" Class cars in Denmark where it is permitted to mount a towbar. The other is Fiat Panda with the terribly noisy TwinAir engine. For me, the towbar is an absolute deal breaker, as I often tow a 400kg trailer so goodbye to Hyundai, Kia, VW and the triplets. I'm selling my 2005 Mitsubishi SpaceStar 1.9 DID because I'm going to save about 1000 € / year in road tax and fuel when I commute back and forth from work. I am not concerned by the safety issues. I think EURO NCAP is not being fair, when they won't test the Celerio with 6 airbags, because, in some european markets, it is sold with only 4. And i can't see how safety belt alarms in the rear makes a car safer.

can you review the fiat tipo?

Τhe cabin is exceptionally spacious and the doors open in 90o angle , thus old people are easily accomodated in the back. The boot is pretty decent . Holds very well the road, feels nippy and has a rather comfy suspension. Drawbacks: α/ the big step revealed once the back seats are fully tilted down b/ The big turning ratio for a small car c/ the increased noise from the tyres . Btw, honest and fair review of yours.

The main reason for VW having better materials is that they have a vast sea of parts from 5 other brands /at least/ to choose with. Lower cost as well. Suzuki is a small niche independent company so it is expected to be not quite price competitive.

it sounded like it has start stop technology is that true or its just me.

A review of the Suzuki Baleno?

It seems to me that you are not a big fan of turbo engines, I don't like them either, I found them out of place in small cars.

It became the most reliable small car in UK's respected What Car? Reliability survey 2019 .

Have to disagree with you about a turbo engine being less fuel efficient. A turbo fitted to modern cars is actually more fuel efficient than a non turbo.

Just bought a new celerio

Hello Thomas, I want to inform you that at 3:45 mins, you say that Celerio in India comes with a diesel engine when in fact it does not:) It only comes in petrol variant with a manual and an option of a AMT(Automated Manual Transmission), However, the other popular hatchback Swift has both petrol & diesel variants

Sensible car with good mechanicals for the price. Only if it had more European styling.

i wouldn't in particular go for this car. I think the peugeot 108 is more fun looking and more comftorable in city driving than this. Also build quality there is a little better. like the review though, all types of cars are being presented on autogefuhl :)

Can you do one for the MG3 please?

A very important aspect of all mini cars is the missing horizontal adjustment of the steering wheel. Mini cars have got bluetooth, all kinds of assistants, airbags, airconditioning, power windows, seat heating, heated steering wheel (!) etc, and that's good. But where is the horizontal adjustment of the steering wheel? Too expensive? This cannot be the case. When I looked at the Opel Karl at the dealer a salesman told me he didn't want to sell a Karl but a Corsa. It sounded like the Karl was just there to make the more expensive model, the Corsa, look better. For example by the missing horizontal adjustment of the steering wheel in the Karl. For me definitely a reason not to buy the Karl. Other than that a car of the size of a Karl would be big enough for me. Autogefühl, please address this topic when you are talking with CEOs of car manufacturers.

I like this car but I don't like the 3 cylinders, for city cars the 4 cylinders is better and reliable in my opinion

Taillight is already broken haha

2nd generation Celerio out in india..

wtf were the turkish wanna b gangsters looking at ? 14:56 i see those type of people everywhere in germany :D wow well whatever great review and cute car Thomas :)

The New Suzuki Celerio You type it down on word the new suzuki celery

Autobahn part didn't include unrestricted speed, I'm bummed out ;-) This is a car for people who think cars are like appliances and nothing more ;-)

Mu Suzuki Swift 2015 can easily make 3.9/100km👍

What a tiny tin can. I don't think this thing could even drive against the wind here in Canada.

perfect for 3rd world small country
