Maruti Suzuki Celerio 2021 leaked in design patents ahead of festive season launch

The second-generation 2021 Maruti Suzuki Celerio's exterior design has been leaked in patent drawings ahead of its official debut during the festive season. Originally set to debut by early 2021, the new Maruti Suzuki Celerio's launch has been delayed with the second COVID-19 wave that swept through India. But with the launch not too far away, these leaked patents provide a fairly accurate idea of what the next-generation hatchback will look like.

The original Maruti Suzuki Celerio was launched in 2014 was no design icon, and it's entirely unsurprising to see the company opt for a simple, sedate design language for the second-gen model. In its latest iteration, the Celerio will sport sweptback headlights and a smaller mesh grille, bisected by a strip that connects the headlights. The unfussy front bumper houses a small central air intake flanked by circular fog lamps, and viewed from the side, the 2021 Celerio has no real design flourishes to speak of, lacking the strong character line of the current model, which originates at the front fender and stretches back to the tail-lights. Also worth noting are the flap-type door handles, which replace the pull-type handles seen on the current car, and are a step backwards.
