A new small car, with some variants priced below Rs 4 lakh, is on its way from February 2014 from Maruti Suzuki India's stable. . Called Celerio, this car will be a one litre petrol car in two transmissions - manual and automatic. This car will probably deliver mileage of over 20 kmpl. The transmission in automatic mode is called automatic manual transmission ( More details )
Suzuki Motor Corp, took about three years to develop the technology which has raised the fuel efficiency of the automatic variant to almost equal that of the manual transmission vehicle. Normally fuel efficiency of automatic transmission is less than that of manual transmission.
Typically, the automatic variant of any car is pricier from the manual transmission variant by about Rs 1 lakh but in the case of Celerio, the price difference between the two variants would be "much less".
The Celerio will be pitched against the likes of Hyundai's Grandi10 and Honda's Brio, whose automatic versions are priced at Rs 6.04 lakh and Rs 6.19 lakh, respectively (ex-showroom, Delhi).
The Celerio will offer a fuel efficiency of 23.1 km per litre and will be offered in six petrol variants - four with Manual transmission and two with Auto Gear Shift.
