Features Maruti Celerio VXI CNG Offers Over Tata Tiago Smart CNG

1. Electronic Stability Control

The Celerio VXI offers electronic stability control (ESC), a valuable safety feature that can help maintain vehicle stability during sudden manoeuvres or slippery road conditions.

2. Impact-Sensing Auto Door Unlock

In the event of a collision, the Celerio can automatically unlock its doors to assist emergency access.

3. Speed-Sensing Auto Door Lock

The Celerio automatically locks its doors once the vehicle crosses a certain speed threshold.

4. Day/Night IRVM

Maruti offer a manually adjustable day/night inside rearview mirror to reduce glare from vehicles behind.

5. Front And Rear Power Windows

Unlike the Tiago Smart, the Celerio VXI gets power windows for all 4 doors, along with driver-side auto down functionality.

6. Central Locking

The Celerio offers central locking, improving both convenience and security.

7. Electrically Adjustable ORVMs

Drivers can adjust the outside mirrors electrically from inside the cabin.

8. Passenger Vanity Mirror

The Celerio gets a vanity mirror for the front passenger.

9. Rear Parcel Tray

A rear parcel tray helps conceal luggage placed inside the boot.

10. Seatback Pockets

Rear occupants benefit from seatback storage pockets.

11. 60:40 Split Rear Seat

The split-folding rear seat improves practicality by allowing buyers to carry passengers and cargo simultaneously.

12. Premium Exterior Finishes

The Celerio VXI also offers:

  • 14-inch full wheel covers
  • Body-coloured ORVMs
  • Body-coloured door handles

Features Tata Tiago Smart CNG Offers Over Maruti Celerio VXI CNG

1. Twin CNG Cylinder Technology

One of the biggest highlights of the Tiago CNG is its twin CNG cylinder technology that helps free up more boot space for your luggage. This is achieved by using 2 smaller 30L CNG cylinders stored under the boot floor instead of a large 60L cylinder stored above the boot floor.

2. CNG-AMT Powertrain Option

Apart from the first-in-segment twin CNG cylinder technology, the Tiago CNG is also the only hatchback in its segment to offer the option of a CNG-automatic powertrain. The Tiago CNG-automatic is offered with a 5-speed AMT and is available in the same 5 variants as the Tiago CNG-manual. 

3. Digital Instrument Cluster

Another major highlight of the updated Tiago is its digital instrument cluster. However, the digital instrument cluster in the base Smart variant does not offer Bluetooth connectivity for music playback and phone functions. Buyers will need to upgrade to the Pure variant to access these features.

4. ISOFIX Child Seat Mounts

The Tiago gets ISOFIX child-seat anchorages, making child-seat installation safer and more secure.

5. LED Tail Lamps

Unlike the Celerio, the Tiago offers LED tail lamps that give the hatchback a more contemporary appearance.

6. Tilt-Adjustable Steering

The Tiago allows drivers to adjust the steering wheel for a more comfortable driving position.

7. Dual-Tone Interior Theme

Tata offer a dual-tone cabin theme, helping the interior feel less utilitarian.

8. Soft-Touch Dashboard

The Tiago also gets soft-touch dashboard inserts, adding a more premium touch to the cabin.

9. Black ORVMs

The contrasting black ORVMs give the Tiago a slightly sportier look.

Claimed Efficiency

34.43km/kg

Unsurprisingly, the Tiago CNG makes more power and torque than the Celerio CNG thanks to its larger engine.However, the larger displacement takes its toll on the mileage of the Tiago CNG as it offers 7.96km/kg lower claimed efficiency than the Celerio with the smaller 1L engine.

V3Cars Verdict

The Maruti Suzuki Celerio CNG focuses on maximising mileage and offers an impressive claimed figure of 34.43km/kg, making it one of the most efficient CNG cars currently on sale in India. It also provides several practical features over the Tiago Smart, including ESC, central locking, electrically adjustable ORVMs, all 4 power windows and a 60:40 split rear seat.

The Tata Tiago Smart CNG, however, counters with a significantly larger 1.2L engine that produces 19PS more power and 15Nm more torque than the Celerio. The stronger power-to-weight and torque-to-weight ratios should translate into better drivability, especially when driving with a full passenger load or on highways. It also offers a more modern digital instrument cluster, ISOFIX mounts and LED tail lamps.

For buyers prioritising outright fuel economy and everyday convenience features, the Celerio CNG remains a compelling choice. However, those looking for stronger performance, a more modern cabin experience and the flexibility of choosing from multiple variants will find the Tiago CNG the more attractive option.

Government Allows E100 Fuel For Flex Fuel Cars

Government Allows E100 Fuel For Flex-Fuel Cars – What Changes For Buyers?

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) have amended the Central Motor Vehicles Rules (CMVR), 1989, to formally recognise E100 fuel for compatible flex-fuel vehicles.  The change creates a clearer regulatory pathway for automakers to develop and certify vehicles that can run on higher ethanol blends, including fuel containing 100% ethanol. However, it does not mean that existing petrol cars can use E100 or that the fuel will become available at every petrol pump immediately.
