Re: Celerio and Eeco To Get Sub 1-Liter Diesel Engine in 2016
The way Maruti had priced the models are not right.It goes up and only the top variants get all the added safety .
Well said.
Coming back to Celerio diesel,this will be a severely underpowered car.4 people sitting inside and you may have to switch of the AC to move the car.The weight of the car also is more than an alto. This is maruti good at,making people fools and we are good in buying it.
I dont think so, since a fully loaded petrol celerio can be moved with the AC ON which has only 90Nm torques in against to the diesel Celerio's 125Nm Torque.
Why are you so eager to blame this car and the maruti even before taking a test drive. :/
I agree with you. I still can't believe how I struggled with Alto in summers, with just 3 adults and 1 kid. And this is in Coimbatore, where Summer is not harsh like Chennai! When 800cc 3 cyl engine, which spits out 48bhp, struggles with such load and for overtakes and slight inclines, I had to switch off the A/C. Which was the main reason for me to buy a new car! If that is the case, then I can't think of how this puny 2-cyl engine will fare at this situation. Nano has light boy and weighs less, but Celerio is bulk IMO.
How can you easily compare its drivability with an alto and say it should be pathetic than an alto?
Celerio diesel is a turbocharged engine, its peak power is at
3500rpm in against to alto's
6000rpm. So really cant be blamed before taking a test drive to know the actual scenario.
FYI: Indica NA diesel engine has 48bhp@
5000rpm and 85Nm@2500 torque. Still people are using this car, because for them it must be enough. People buy their car according to their requirements, isn't?
In that case, I guess Beat Diesel is the best option. And I seriously wish, that Celerio diesel should become a flop!
Hey buddy, why do you wish so
Let the interested people buy them and use, what actually bothers you a lot for that?
Chevyrolet Beat gives 18kmpl in B2B city traffic and 24kmpl on highway so if MS Celerio Diesel beats this mileage then celerio will be a good buy while compromising on refinement and power
I agree with you.

IMHO, Its not a good practice to blame a car which is yet to be launched or yet to get enough test drive reports, which may give bad impression to that car. Why do we need to mislead the TAI forum readers. So its better to wait for the test drive reports from the experts.
Let see how the power to weight ratio, 0-100 secs, mileage figures etc of Celerio diesel. After that it will be quite easy to have an idea about the beat vs celerio cars.
