Although there is no word from Suzuki or reports on a new-gen Celerio, the Japanese manufacturer could be thinking about a replacement for its global A-Segment vehicle.

Headlight Mag member ‘Dark Overlord’ has created a rendering of a Suzuki Celerio facelift with styling cues incorporated from new Suzuki models like the Swift and the Baleno. Being a facelift, one could expect small revisions to the exterior and interior for an updated and contemporary look.

Another possibility is that Suzuki could skip the facelift and introduce a second gen Celerio so as to slot perfectly between the Wagon R and Ignis. The new Celerio will stick to the conventional bean-shaped hatchback design so as to distance itself from the Ignis.

With increasing preference for touchscreen systems in entry-level cars, Maruti could equip the top-end model with their Smartplay infotainment system. Suzuki may want to do a new top-hat rather than moving it to the Heartect fifth-gen platform.

In India, the Celerio likely to retain the K10B 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine that develops 50 kW (68 PS) at 6,000 rpm and 90 Nm of torque at 3,500 rpm. While the model sold locally can be had with a 5-speed AGS, the Celerio in other international markets comes with a CVT as an option.
