When making a big impact means going small 

Updated Aug 05, 2022 | Same topic: Branded

Size isn’t everything, and Suzuki proves it.   

Everybody wants to make their mark in the world, but there’s always that first step to take. You might be fresh out of school, ready to take the plunge into the working world. You could be leaving a life of being single in favor of starting a family.

Suzuki PH helps you make a big impression in a small way 

Or if you’ve been enduring commutes for the longest time, this could be your chance to transition into a new phase of mobility by getting your first car. It’s certainly a move that will have an impact on your quality of life, so naturally you’ll want to go about it in a big way. 

And the best approach for that these days is to go small. Think about it. Downsizing doesn’t mean downgrading your standards; quite the opposite, actually. Choosing a space-efficient model means raising your expectations since it has to satisfy your needs without resorting to a larger footprint.

Downsize without downgrading your expectations

Big things come in small packages, and the all-new Suzuki Celerio is proof of that. Its cute proportions are livened up with an eye-catching design that delivers immense presence on the road. The new fascia comprising a radiant grille, large halogen headlamps, and prominent fog lamps help this small car draw big smiles as it passes by, accompanied by three-dimensional curved surfaces that help it exude character.

Lots of room in the interior for your big plans

Despite its size, the all-new Celerio offers a generous interior for up to five occupants. Its cargo space of 295 liters can be expanded by simply collapsing the 60:40 split-fold rear bench. Along with numerous storage options, this allows the model to score big on utility. Full-size onboard entertainment is also present, with a 6.2-inch Sony audio unit touchscreen offering Bluetooth, Weblink 2.0, and USB connectivity.

The small engine returns big savings

The all-new Celerio’s equally small 1.0-liter power unit with 67 horsepower and 89 Nm of torque promises big returns with 28.25 kilometers on a single liter of fuel, thanks to its Engine Auto Start System (EASS). Transmission options include a 5-speed manual gearbox and Suzuki’s intelligent Auto Gear Shift (AGS).  

It even towers above others in its class as far as safety is concerned, with a segment-first hill-start assist feature in addition to dual airbags, anti-lock brakes, stability control, and rear parking sensors, all underpinned by the Heartect platform.

If you want to make a big impact, go small 

Downsizing is no longer the compromise it once was. If you’re looking for something small enough to surprise you, the all-new Suzuki Celerio should be at the top of your list.
