First Service is performed within 1 month or 1000 Kms – common with most of the manufacturers. Generally, its the cleaning and vehicle inspection with screws tightened up during first Service.

Celerio car came in market in 2014. It is believed to be replacing two cars in hatchback segment, One is estilo zen and second is Astar.

Celerio uses K Next with Drive by wire technology engine which is also used in Maruti wagnor.

Maruti Celerio AMT vs Maruti Celerio manual Transmission:

Do you have question in mind which car should i prefer? Well answer lies in your requirement.

If you are looking for mileage, have budget constraint and planing to use car mostly on Highways and rarely in city and you are the only one using the car, then manual transmission is better option.

If you are looking for comfortable drive, use is mostly in city, not bothered about mileage and can afford extra 30-35 k and ladies or any one else will drive, then AMT is better option.

Must Have Car Accessories to buy:

Are you planning to buy new car? There are certain accessories that comes with car based on variant.Rest you need to buy.
There are plenty of accessory options available with dealers or outside so making a decision on which accessories to buy becomes quite difficult thing.

For that it is always better to keep must have car accessories list handy. Accessories are something that you can leave without but is always good to have.




Below is the list of must have car accessories for new car:
1.Floor Mat Price (1000 -1500)
2.Seat Cover (3500- 7000)
3.Car Cover (900 – 1400)

Apart from that you can thing about below accessories if budget permits:
1. Car Vaccum cleaner
2. Air Freshner

Every car manufacturing company has set of accessories that they sell on discounted price. I have seen that mostly Maruti Dealer’s have such offers.

I would suggest you should buy electronic accessories like security system, music system from dealer instead of outside as new car comes with warranty.
