The Suzuki Celerio is one of 68 Suzuki Motor Corporation models in the MotorJury library, the catalogue that sets out to hold every car ever made — production, prototype and concept alike. The record places its introduction in 2008. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.

The era it was born into

To read the Suzuki Celerio properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2000s were the decade of electronics — stability control, dual-clutch gearboxes and the first serious hybrids arrived while platform-sharing consolidated the industry into a handful of giants. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Nissan Nissan 370Z, the Tesla Tesla Roadster, the Nissan Nissan GT-R — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.

The numbers, read closely

On paper, the Suzuki Celerio reads like this: the record lists its engine as Petrol engine / Petrol: / 996 cc List of Suzuki engines#K engine / K10B/K-Next Straight-three engine / I3 / 996 cc List of Suzuki engines#K engine / K10C-Dual Jet Variable valve ti; kerb weight is recorded at 785 kg; drive goes through 5-speed Manual transmission / manual / 5-speed AGS automated manual transmission / automated manual / Continuously variable transmission / CVT; the layout is Front-engine, front-wheel-drive. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.

Its place in the Suzuki Motor Corporation story

Within Suzuki Motor Corporation's own catalogue the Suzuki Celerio sits alongside the Fuji Cabin, the Geo Metro, the Suzuki A-Star Concept (2005), the Suzuki APV. The record names the Suzuki Zen Estilo (second generation, India) / Suzuki A-Star (India) / Suzuki Cultus (second generation, Pakistan) as its predecessor, anchoring one end of its lineage. Design is credited to related =. Assembly is recorded at India: Manesar (Maruti Suzuki) / Thailand: Rayong (Suzuki Thailand) / Pakistan: Karachi (Pak Suzuki Motors).

How this catalogue works

This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.

From catalogue to ownership

What this page cannot yet tell you is what the Suzuki Celerio costs to live with — that is a different dataset. MotorJury's ownership verdicts are computed from federal complaint and recall records plus EPA economy data, published per model year as the nightly ingest reaches each car. If this model was sold in the United States, its years will surface in the ownership database; browse it live or price any car yourself with the true-cost calculator.
