Buoyed by the success of the Celerio petrol, Maruti Suzuki India, today, rolled out the diesel version of the car in the country at a starting price of Rs. 4.65 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Claimed to deliver 27.62km/l, the Maruti Celerio diesel is now India's most fuel-efficient car - it beat the Swift Dzire diesel that has an ARAI-certified mileage of 26.59km/l.
