Maruti Celerio – Auto portal reviews the Compact Car

Maruti Suzuki, which is the leading carmaker of India, has understood the

pulse of the nation and hence, it is able to deliver cars that appeal to the masses.

Maruti cars rank high on utility and low on costs. They are generally fuel-efficient, require low maintenance costs and are affordably priced too. All these factors

work as a winning combination and make Maruti one of the most preferred

automobile brands in India.

interest in the industry as it introduced the AMT feature in India. This feature was offered in the hatchback segment for the first time in

India.
