Used Suzuki Celerio for sale

What types of used Suzuki Celerio cars are there?

The Suzuki Celerio is a compact hatchback model built by a manufacturer that comes from the home of the small (Kei) car – Japan.

Its unique looks make it more similar to a miniature people carrier than a city car because it has a tall, upright posture, just on a smaller scale.

Technically, it has five seats, but you’re better off treating it as a four-seater. That way, the two rear passengers will have some space between them.

Upgraded SZ4 cars add flashier chrome styling as well as handy touches like electrically adjustable door mirrors, electric rear windows, front seatback pockets and two extra speakers.

Suzuki also has a strong reputation for reliability, which should instill confidence when buying a used Celerio.

How much does the Suzuki Celerio cost to run?

Not much at all – the Celerio’s 1.0-litre petrol engines should do around 50mpg on a long run. They’re also very light on CO2 emissions, which means tax can be very cheap.

Aim for a model registered before April 2017 for free tax on eligible models.

It sits in insurance group seven, so it shouldn’t add too much to your running costs.

Who is the Suzuki Celerio suitable for?

A used Suzuki Celerio for sale makes total sense for drivers who need a no-frills car that costs as little as possible to run.

It looks similar to the Kia Picanto and Hyundai i10, but if you want a little more space, consider the equally affordable Dacia Sandero.
