SUZUKI CELERIO 1.0 PETROL

Suzuki has been producing effective, economical and durable small engines for many years, with valuable experience gained from the firm’s motorcycles–also cars such as the three-cylinder Alto of the mid-1980s.

The Celerio is powered by a 998cc three-cylinder K10B engine, or, for higher-specification versions, the K10C ‘Dualjet’ motor. The K10B engine is a very efficient unit. When launched, it came with a 99g/km CO2 rating and an official combined mpg figure of 65.7–though the K10C is better still. It features a higher compression ratio (12.0:1 rather than 11.0:1), plus friction reduction technology, with variable valve timing too. In addition, it incorporates a cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system and piston cooling jets.

Mileage Matters
Nowadays, with mileages at every MOT being recorded centrally, available online to anyone, and the most recent mileages printed on test certificates, it is a lot harder for dishonest traders to clock cars arbitrarily. A sudden loss of 30, 40, 50 or 1
