Hyundai i10 VS Suzuki Celerio

[tidus1203]

Let the battle of the cheap budget cars begin!

Personally I haven't seen the specs of the new Suzuki Celerio (parang Intel Celeron or celery ) yet so I can;t make a decent comment. Maybe you guys can share!

Let the battle of the cheap budget cars begin!

Personally I haven't seen the specs of the new Suzuki Celerio (parang Intel Celeron or celery ) yet so I can;t make a decent comment. Maybe you guys can share!

This topic is what i want to follow!

I am in between kung alin dito sa 2 car na ito ang bibilin ko for our 2nd car. This will be for my wife. Last year pa namin tinitingnan ung i10, then suddenly this celerio comes in. So nagdalawang-isip ako, dati nung wala pa celerio ayaw namin dun sa unang Alto. Hindi gusto ni misis ung design. Dito sa celerio na-impressed agad kami sa itsura in "pictures". Di pa namin nakikita sa actual eh. Hopefully pag-uwi ko before the end of this month ay makapasyal agad kami sa dealers ng Hyundai at Suzuki.

Kaya sa mga ka-tsikoteers..please give some comments on this topic. For sure it will help people like me na maintindihan mga differences ng 2 car na ito....

Cheers Tsikoteers!.....

Based on Specs and interior design, ill get the Celerio in a heartbeat

But on durability...hmmmm. I really don't know, so that means no to the Celerio until proven that suzuki cars will last.

At least you get the 5 yrs warranty for the Hyundai

The Celerio and i10 have specs that are quite similar... the i10 is longer by 65 millimeters and taller by 80 mm, but the Celerio is wider... by a paltry 5mm.

The Celerio's on-paper specs are impressive... but for the same price as the MT i10, the MT Celerio only gives you manual rear windows, fixed front headrests (though the seats are sporty) and a very high and small trunk opening.

The interior of the Celerio seems sportier than the i10, but the plastics are just as hard and cheap. The one-piece front seats look a bit cheapish, but have excellent suport, and you can almost fool yourself into believing they're aftermarket sports seats...

The Celerio's 1 liter produces 68 hp and 90 Nm compared to the 1.1 i10's 65 and 97 Nm... which is close enough not to matter much. The i10's 1.2 produces much more, though, at 80 hp and 112 Nm, and that's what the Celerio AT is priced against.

By showroom specs, I'd say the i10 has the upper hand. I'm reserving judgement on which is better till I get some good seat time in the Celerio (we're waiting for their test unit to get its plates)... so we can compare it.

I'll say this, though... they're both pretty cool-looking. It's Ultraman versus the Power Rangers, right here... right now.

have seen both sa hyundai & suzuki showrooms sa macapagal. sa looks, i still like the i10 over the celerio. then pag nakasakay ka sa harap and sa likod, parang feeling ko mas cheap yong celerio. sakit sa mata talaga yong manual rear windows.

no test drive impressions yet though..

hi guys! i own a suzuki a surplus japan .. as to its seatbelt it was manufactured on 1994
but until now it keeps on kicking hehe.. btw im selling my suzuki van and planning to get an alto.. we have a member who has the old model alto 0.8cc and he told me that it can reach up to 155kph... how about the 1.0 liter? hehehe well i still choose suzuki :D!

[C#@RD]

It's still the hyundai I10 for me asides from the 5yr warranty hyundai has more dealers in metro manila for support.

I have been reading the indian threads din comparing the I10 and the celerio and mas gusto nila yung I10 kasi cramped daw yung seating space ng celerio compared to the headroom and seating space of the I10. Asides from that yung 3 cylinder engine daw ng celerio is maingay.

For the looks naman it really depends on your personal preference, For me Im really happy with my I10 especially with the increasing price of gasoline since it's cheap to maintain, brings me to point A-B safely and fuel efficiently.

saw a celerio along commonwealth yesterday, nice!!
fuel consumption kaya, would anyone know?

[noobskie]

Sana ok din fuel consumption niyan, im guessing 12-14km/l for the M/T and 11-12 for the A/T. Maganda yung specs niya, kumpleto na sa safety equipment. ABS with EBD, dual airbags. Very nice car for the price. The looks are leagues better than the old alto.

[tidus1203]

While its decently equipped save the fact that the rear is still pawis windows. It has an inferior engine compared to its price rival the i10 1.2L Kappa engine.

[RVRSSG2.0]

The 1.2L Kappa engine of the i10 is just so awesome. 'nuff said.


we own an i10 1.2L AT.

[tidus1203]

I have seen the Celerio na in person awhile ago sa Trinoma. Ang liit leg space ng 2nd row its almost uninhabitable unless bata. I will still say i10 over Celerio. Pero exterior wise panalo Celerio sa i10 pero kung practicality parang mas ok ang i10.

Now having sitted in both cars. The i.10 is way way better

I and my wife(and our kids pa pala) are inclining now on the i10, this short thread is already helping me a lot. Next week we'll check both car personally.

Sir buchieboy: Ano ung napag-compare mo na i10 model? MT or AT ba? Meron pa bang available na 1.0L ng i10?

Sir C#*RD: Ano na latest FC mo? Tumaas pa ba mula dun sa last mo na 15.7km/L?

Sir niky: Ok ang post mo! Very informative!

[tidus1203]

In the August 2009 issue of Top Gear, they pitted the two and they picked the i10.

[eggman]

Mas ok parin ang Suzuki Celerio!!

[Mannyx]

Celerio looks nice from the outside pero when I seated on the driver's seat, it is so uncomfortable for me. Sikip talaga compared to i10.

[tidus1203]

i10 mas practical overall it seems. It might not have some of the blings of the Celerio but it wins where it matters most. Engine and space.

I & my wife(and our 2 kids) ended up taking the i10. Mainly dahil sa difference ng space sa backseat. Parang sasayad ulo ko sa backseat ng Celerio although i'm only 5'6".

So far ok naman ang performance ng i10 namin, FC is between 9-10km/Liter using the Shell V-power. Wala pang 1K ang mileage sa ngayon. Wife is the one using now kasi i'm out of the country.
