Suzuki Celerio is our most economical small car
The Suzuki Celerio 1.0 Dualjet has won the ‘small petrol car’ class award in 2015’s What Car? True MPG awards, achieving 62.9mpg in the consumer magazine’s tests.
It beat the second-placed car by 5mpg. The Toyota Yaris 1.5 VVT-i Hybrid, which has a full hybrid system that allows the car to run on electric power for short distances, reached 57.8mpg.
In third was the Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI 95 Bluemotion, which achieved 56.5mpg.
What Car? said: “Suzuki’s five-door, five-seat city car is the most economical small petrol car our technicians have tested. Impressive economy aside, it’s also well-equipped and comes with a versatile interior, making it a decent buy.”
A second Suzuki placed ninth. The Swift 1.2 hit 51.7mpg, putting it in between the 1.0-litre Seat Ibiza and the 1.5-litre Mazda 2.
Dale Wyatt, sales and marketing director at Suzuki GB PLC, said: “The very encouraging results from the recent What Car? tests prove the exceptional value-for-money that the Suzuki model range provides to today’s motorists, and the impressive return on investment that they receive for every gallon of fuel that they purchase.”
