Starting with the Celerio first, the car now gets a fresh front fascia that is devoid of any sharp cuts and creases. The grille looks more elegant now and the headlamps too are smaller than before. The bulky plastic insert on the front bumper too gives it a different look. Unlike before, the Celerio now offers R-15 alloy wheels along with request sensors on the driver as well as on the co-driver door. The all-new Celerio definitely looks better and attracts a lot of eyeballs when out on the roads.

The maruti WagonR gets a boxy design and a tall-boy stance that is appreciated by a long list of buyers. The car gets a bold grille upfront that joins the large headlamps on either sides. The bumper remains subtle and the car may look a little too boxy from the sides. Having said this, the rear of the vehicle too falls in line with the overall design language. While Celerio looks more elegant and subtle, the WagonR on the other hand appeals to those who prefer boxy and imposing designs.
