The K10B engine in the Celerio X is more fun to drive than the K10C new Celerio?
Maruti's tried and tested K10B engine came with the Celerio X, a tried and tested engine being one known for its peppy nature and good low end torque. As they introduced the new generation Celerio, the new K10C DualJet engine that Maruti introduced also offers better fuel efficiency and meets stricter emission norms. But some enthusiasts say the older K10B, even if less efficient, made for a more fun driving experience, particularly in the sportier looking Celerio X. As a result, this has led to much debate about whether the quest to make newer models more efficient has come at the expense of driving enjoyment, especially in the low seating position small urban cars, where a feisty engine can make all the difference when it comes to overall driving experience.
The K10B was a gem! The X was a blast in city traffic and felt so eager to rev. It's probably a more sensible new one, but less fun.
I've driven both and in day to day driving the difference isn't that noticeable. But the bigger plus to me is the new engine's efficiency.
Its sporty looks and the X's engine made it seem more special. Just like the new Celerio, it is a Celerio.
Fun is subjective. The K10C's improved fuel efficiency means more money in my pocket and, frankly, that's pretty fun as well!
The K10B had character, but don't get all nostalgic. The K10C is probably better in most ways, but engine tech has come a long way.
I do miss the K10B's low end grunt. It made it perfect for zipping through gaps in traffic. The new one's a little more lazy.
The car was lighter, so the X's engine felt peppier. If you put the K10C in the X's body it might actually be the best of both worlds!
