Why you should buy a hatchback car?

Practical, comfortable, and spacious interiors; hatchbacks have become a favourite among city dwellers. Whether you want to drop off or pick up your kids from school or simply take a trip down to the grocery store, hatchbacks are your present-day synonym for a family car.

There are many benefits of owning a hatchback. Here are a few of the important ones:

A Size That Eases the Learning Process

If you are planning to switch from your two-wheeler, a hatchback car should be your go-to vehicle. With their powerful engines and compact designs, hatchbacks can easily maneuver in crowded city streets, unlike sedans and SUVs that take more space due to higher turning radius. With easy steering, a smooth gearshift, and better all-around visibility, hatchbacks also provide good frontal vision to the driver for better driveability. It makes hatchbacks a better option when learning to drive confidently in less time.

Features That Surpass the Price

Price is another factor that makes hatchbacks a winner. It comes with advanced features like those in sedans & SUVs. For instance, the Maruti Suzuki Celerio AMT, one of the best hatchbacks in India, comes loaded with dynamic features. It has power steering, engine idle start-stop, smart play studio, electrically-folded ORVM, speed-sensitive auto gear lock, ABS with EBD, & much more that you can expect in sedans & SUVs. These features are designed for convenience & more safety on your daily commute or a weekend gateway. 

Affordability with Better Fuel Efficiency

Costing less than SUVs or pricey sedans, it is also cheaper to finance a hatchback. With their better fuel efficiency and affordable maintenance costs, be it Maruti Suzuki’s Celerio that comes with a competitive price in India or any other car, hatchbacks serve best for people on a budget who likes to save as well.

In conclusion, if you are looking for a budget-friendly car segment with vehicles having better ground clearance, sufficient boot space, good dimensions, advanced interiors, and superb fuel efficiency, hatchbacks will be the best choice for you.

Why the Celerio is an Ideal Modern-Day Hatchback

Maruti Suzuki is no stranger to the Indian car market. They have offered some of the best cars that you can find on the Indian roads. From their many offerings, comes the exciting Celerio that recently crossed the 1 lakh mark in early April 2019. The car has received great praise from industry experts and much love from car buyers. In fact, the Celerio is an extremely capable modern-day hatchback. Deserving of all the applause it has received and more, the impressive list of specifications of the Celerio only increases the car’s mass appeal.
With that said, here’s more about Celerio that will explain to you why it is very much the modern-day hatchback suited for a modern-day car owner:

Roomy Interior

Celerio’s cabin is packed with features that enhance convenience such as electrically adjustable ORVMs, dual-tone (beige/black) seat upholstery, Bluetooth enabled music system, decent legroom, and excellent headroom for both the front as well as rear seats. The cushioning on the seats is also nice and the rear seat is comfortable for 3 average-sized persons. The car is also well-equipped with extra storage spaces in the form of bottle and magazine holders.

Stylish Exterior

Celerio’s front gives the car a bold impression; much of it is owing to the broad bumper it sports. The bumper has a space to accommodate fog lamps, aggressive clear-lens headlamps combined with a chrome grille, and of course, the Suzuki emblem. Even the side profile of the car attracts a lot of attention as the new contours introduced from the rear side to the front fender are impressive, to say the least. The cherry on top is definitely the overall fit-n-finish of Celerio; it is just great!

Powerful Engine and Peppy Performance

Celerio is offered in a petrol and an S-CNG variant. The petrol variant is powered by the extremely venerated 1.0L 3-cylinder K-series engine. What’s more is that you get to choose between a 5-speed manual transmission and Maruti Suzuki’s Auto Gear Shift (AGS) technology.
With the Celerio’s price in India ranging from about Rs. 4,26,000 to Rs. 5,43,000, an automatic transmission like the AGS is a rarity at this price point. With a fuel tank of 35 litres, the petrol engine offers a mileage of over 23 kmpl whereas the CNG offers about 31.7 kmpl. The car’s pick-up is highly responsive, and the shifting of gear is also very smooth.

Safety Guaranteed

Celerio is equipped with much-acclaimed safety features like ABS and dual airbags as a standard across all variants. The fact that these safety features come as standard makes the car feel safer to drive, irrespective of its multiple variants. The added option of the AGS technology ensures the driver has a smooth experience driving the car.
The Celerio is without a doubt an incredible hatchback. Not only is it the first in the segment to provide features like AGS in both the fuel options, petrol and CNG, but it is also a Maruti Suzuki car. That grants Celerio the widest car sales network and best after-sales services for every one of its buyers.
