2022 Suzuki Celerio launched in PH, starts at Php 708K
Suzuki has always been big in doing things small and for 2022, Suzuki Philippines, Inc. is introducing the all-new generation of its small hatchback offering, the Celerio, just a couple of months after it made its global debut in India late last year.
“The All-New Celerio has evolved into a compact car that will make people’s life easier, more convenient, and will allow to express one’s personality in an age where diversity is expected”, shared Mr. Norihide Takei, Suzuki Philippines’ General Manager for Automobiles. “We are confident that the new Celerio will exceed expectations of customers who seek for both practicality and individuality.”
Available in one variant with two transmission options, the all-new 2022 Suzuki Celerio has completely been redesigned from the ground up. The exterior wears what Suzuki says is a “3D organic sculpted” design with a “liquid expression” resembling a water surface, deviating from its previous boxy-type body. The interior has likewise been completely redesigned with a more modern and stylish appearance.
Standard exterior features on the 2022 Suzuki Celerio are multi-reflector halogen headlights, fog lights, power-adjustable door mirrors, and black 15-inch alloy wheels. Inside, it gets fabric seats, a urethane steering wheel with audio controls, 6.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system with USB and bluetooth connectivity, and a 4-speaker audio system.
Under the hood, the all-new 2022 Suzuki Celerio is powered by a 1.0-liter K10C Inline 3-cylinder DUALJET engine. This produces 67 horsepower and 89 Nm of torque, paired to either a 5-speed manual transmission or 5-speed AGS or Auto-Gear Shift (automated manual transmission/AMT). It is also equipped with Engine Auto Stop Start System (EASS) for better fuel economy. This engine has a fuel economy rating of 28.25 km/l according to Suzuki Philippines and the Automobile Association of the Philippines.
For safety, standard are dual front airbags, anti-lock braking system, electronic stability program, hill hold control, rear parking sensors, and ISOFIX childseat anchor points.
The 2022 Suzuki Celerio is now available in all Suzuki Auto dealerships nationwide in four different colors. These are Fire Red, Speedy Blue Metallic, Arctic White Pearl, and Glistening Gray Metallic. Pricing starts at Php 708,000 for the manual transmission-equipped version while the AGS version is priced at Php 745,000.
