2021 Maruti Suzuki Celerio styling
The 2021 Maruti Suzuki Celerio now wears a more contemporary look. The high-roof design of the previous generation seems to have been ditched for better proportions while there seems to be a rounded theme to the hatchback's looks. This is seen with the rounded edges to the grille, lighting as well as bumper elements. Notable is the heavy chrome and running across the grille and the chunky detailing in the bumper. A large but crisply styled glassware remains with simple body panels and contrasting black allow wheels expected on the top-spec versions at least. The rear again carries forward this soft-edged look with the compact taillamps and rounded bootlid.
