Comparison: Ground clearance Suzuki Celerio vs. competitors 2025

Ah, the Suzuki Celerio, a car that dares to punch above its weight class, a little fighter in the urban jungle. It’s like the plucky underdog in a Hollywood movie, with ground clearance that suggests it’s not just another city dweller. Now, you might think, "Ground clearance, who cares?" But in the world of curb-hopping and pothole-dodging, those extra millimeters can mean a lot. The Celerio's stance is a declaration of its readiness to tackle the urban landscapes with more zeal than you'd expect. It's Suzuki's nod to those who want a tad more adventure from their daily commute without resorting to a behemoth that guzzles fuel like there's no tomorrow.

Suzuki Celerio - How has the ground clearance changed over the generations?

Since its debut in 2014, the first-generation Suzuki Celerio has been strutting around with a ground clearance of 140 mm. It's like Suzuki was making a statement, setting the Celerio apart from the rest of the hatchback crowd. This measure hasn't fluctuated through the years, showing Suzuki's confidence in their original design. Though we live in a world where change is often seen as progress, the Celerio stands its ground (pun intended), proving that sometimes, the first shot is right on target. It’s a ground clearance that says, 'Yes, I am small, but I can also kick up some dirt.'

The ground clearance compared to other Suzuki models

Within the Suzuki lineup, the Celerio plays a curious role. It towers over the Swift and its sportier cousin, the Swift Sport, both scurrying about with a mere 115 and 116 mm of ground clearance, respectively. It also stands taller than the Swace, which hugs the ground at 135 mm. However, when you gaze upwards, you find the Vitara, S-Cross, Across, SX4 S-Cross, Ignis, and those rugged Jimnys, all looking down from their lofty heights of 175 mm and beyond. The Celerio, then, finds itself in a sweet spot, offering more ground clearance than its smaller siblings but less than the SUVs in Suzuki's stable. It's the middle child that's not too street-bound nor too off-road enthusiastic; it’s just right for hopping curbs during grocery runs or navigating the urban fringe.

How does the ground clearance of the Suzuki Celerio compare to it's nearest competitors?

Let’s bring some rivals into the ring, shall we? Immediately, the Dacia Sandero looms with a ground clearance of 155 mm, taunting our plucky Celerio with its superior altitude. The Citroen GS/GSA, a classic, outshines everyone with a towering 240 mm – but let's be honest, comparing these two is like pitting a heavyweight boxer against a featherweight; amusing, but hardly fair. On the closer end of the spectrum, we have the ORA Funky Cat and the Renault Twingo, prancing around with 135 and 120 mm, respectively. The Celerio edges out the Twingo but bows graciously to the Funky Cat. Let’s not forget the Subaru Justy, striding confidently with 170 mm, making a case for itself among those preferring a higher ride in a compact package. And in this motley crew of urban adventurers, the Celerio stands with a ground clearance that’s not too shabby, not too lofty, but just wonderfully adequate for the city-dweller with a penchant for occasionally straying off the beaten path.
