- City cars: they're easy to drive, cheap to run and most of all very, very small. But dinky dimensions don't need to come at the expense of style, as the Volkswagen Up and the Hyundai i10 prove. But is it worth sacrificing some creature comforts for the even cheaper Suzuki Celerio? I find out in one of the tiniest group tests ever!

I expected the Celerio to get trounced by the others but its not bad at all.... and at 4k less than the others, a serious consideration
Seem to recall its Euro NCAP rating is lower than the others.
To me the ignis is a better buy
Some reviewers say that the suspension of the Celerio is too soft and others say it is too firm. This means that the suspension is spot on, right?
Well said
Or that maybe it's both
nah suspension sucks, atleast for the Indian variant
The obvious comparators for the Celerio are the base models of Hyundai i10 and VW Up, choosing £13k vehicles with significantly higher spec and more power engines dilutes the integrity of the comparison to the point of meaninglessness.
Even the top variant celerio can't compete...
I honestly like the looks of the Suzuki Celerio, it's an honest little car, it has a clean look and it has a great interior space, it looks a lot better in blue by the way.
The celerio was rated the most reliable car in its class by the 2019 What Car? magazine reliability survey done in uk.
Jaliya Udagama I drive a celerio and I feel it’s great for Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. I this review is biased.
source?
@@soriaaaa100 search in Google for What Car? Reliability survey 2019. Its a uk survey.
@@dudevraj Agreed, brother. It has good ground clearance, solid suspension, lots of space and a lively k10 engine. The dash looks neat too.
The Volkswagen reminds me of Jeremy driving it in Chernobyl
This is brilliant but I like this
Small Golf as Polo
I feel like the fuel economy didn't get put into consideration that much... but speed did.
How is speed more relevant than fuel economy on a cheap small city cars? 63.5 mpg vs 42.4 mpg both while driving not that economically.. 21 mpg difference is a fare amount, that would save a lot of money over the long run...
The people who consider these cars do prefer cheaper running cost than speed. Otherwise they would go buy bigger more powerful cars..
abinlukasabraham Since new, my Celerio has averaged about 71.5 mpg. Admittedly, I have a very gentle left foot and do a fair amount of motorway driving but you can get outstanding mpg from the Celerio. By way of comparison, the best I could squeeze out of my old Kia Picanto was 56.5 mpg...
Peter Growcott 71 mpg is great! That's what I mean.. Compare that with the Up, there's so much money to be saved there on the long run.. And that's what a small city car is mainly about..
abinlukasabraham that being said some people may not like the tin box feel that the Suzuki likely has. The others while not luxury trade some economy and practicality for better comforts. It comes down to individual needs :)
@@abinlukasabraham not everyone will like the tin can feel of the Celerio
I have driven one and it doesn't feel a bit safe on the highway, to me.
@@RennieAsh yah but my point was the test of a small city car should mainly be about economy and not speed.. You can buy much better cars out there outside of the class but this class is about economy that's all :)
You hit the VW 1 time less. *Biased review*
I'd have the i10. Bigger boot, more practical, better styling, longer warranty, cheaper from standard, good value for money and a great infotainment system. A no brainer if you ask me.
This is compared to the Up
Better choice then the F*ck Up or Up yours.
Its a no brainer... until you drIve the Up/Citigo/Mii. Warranty aside, its better in every way.
@@markheywood8236 ive driven them both, up doesn't drive better
@@MsPietpaaltjes So have I, I disagree.
The Suzuki reminds me that you can't judge based on looks alone...
Story of my life
Spot on
how to do a Mat Watson review - bring a less equipped inexpensive Suzuki against highest spec rivals which cost a heck lot more and blame it for lack of equipment. Try bringing a base model Hyundai or VW up which would still cost two grand more than a base celerio
Mxseria it's still biased
Best comment
I don’t know why the presenter is blamed for production decisions
Bharath Kumar I think it’s more the other way around, you don’t have a religious ceremony when you buy a new car, whereas dealerships in India do Hindu rituals of welcoming the car into the family.
On the other hand, cheaper cars are more appreciated in India over features, as the fact that it’s a car is good enough as many people don’t have one (comparatively speaking of course as India’s population is significantly higher), where as in Europe everyone is almost expected to have a car, it’s what extras it offers that make it desirable.
Also, safety features in cars for India are at the bottom of the list, in Europe they’re very near the top.
He's being quite fair and mentions the low price multiple times. Besides that, after spending the money, all you have left is the car. Usually I don't think about the price anymore.. but about the product I have. That being said, the VW is the best way to go. Not that I'd every buy such a bland brand ;-)
The i10 was such a great package with a lot more features and better interior and amenities than the Up! How come the Up! could possibly win!??
Aryan Ahmed because for some reasons of which i don understand, apparently volkswagens are better because they have a volkswagen badge, doesnt make sense to me though!
Try a VW out, they are miles better.
Chatta290 miles better, compared to what, walking?
+Louis Rushbrook The Up is a much safer car, and it drives and handles like a bigger car. Not everybody prefers features over getting the basics right.
Nicer interior.. better range of engines.. more fun to drive (yes I know most people don't care about that but car reviewers have to include everything).. more flexible boot. The up! Does have some things going for it
I liked Hyundai the most. I don't know if its the red color, or looks, but I would go for Hyundai
The i10 is amazing. My girlfriend has one, with an automatic gearbox and 87hp, and some extras like heated front seats and heated steering wheel. It's quick and nimble, easy to park, and somehow we managed to get a 55" TV into this little car. I love it!
I did my driving school with the entry-level model and all I can say is that was awesome! It isn’t an A-Class, but it is really worth it!
Verzo In Korea, in winter is cruel. Fucking cold. That is why korean car company set a heating system. And... Hyundai is very very reasonable car brand for normal people.
Verzo my mom has a Hyundai i10, she has the base model and it’s not good at all 😔😬... today we almost drove off of the motorway because it wasn’t fast enough to overtake someone. She has the 1.0 engine and it looks from the inside like the Suzuki like the screen. From the outside it looks the same so I think if this review was with the base model, the Suzuki would win from the i10
@@niels9663 Why the need to overtake if the car was unable to do so? You were obviously going fast enough.
The other two cars are 50% more expensive than the celerio... And the celerio does many things better than the other two...
Unni Radhakrishnan not quite 50% lmao, it’s about 45%
Haha man thats a nice joke! :))
Malayali
@@sibiskoshy2169 r u malayali ?
@@Dan-rt6bc yea
Why couldnt they fit the up with proper windows at the back ?
I think Id go for the i10..
2017 Kia Picanto would have been good in this line up
And why no picanto solo review?
Kia Picanto and Hyundai i10 are VERY similar cars lol
Isn't a Picanto just a rebadged i10 anyway?
Owning a grand i10...a great budget car packing useful features. Enjoyed your review thoroughly. tnx
matt, u got stop kissing the european car's a*s all the time in every video. hyundai wins the test easily,
i10 all the way. They are great cars. We have one and love it. It’s built like a tank, cheap to run and looks good.
I personally like the Hyundai 😊
Why didn't they include the 2018 Kia Picanto GT Line?
Most of the nitpicking was unfair considering the cars are completely different specs
i really like these head2head test!!
I don't understand why they think hyundai's engine is weak. The NA 1.25 engine has 87 hp with 120.6 nm torque; how much more you would want in an i10??
I don't understand how he made the Volkswagen the winner because he said it was only doing 42 miles per gallon and the back windows don't open and it had the smallest boot and it was the most expensive .. and then at the end of the test he says the Volkswagen up was the winner ???
Sounds all a bit biased to me especially when Suzuki and Hyundai always finish much higher up car reliability tables than Volkswagen.
I normally drive a Suzuki Celerio SZ4 auto. However I've just driven a base model VW Up! rental car for a month in South Africa. Here's what I thought of it...
The 59HP engine in the Up! is pathetically weak. On long hills you're forced to drop down to 3rd to get too the top! Also it's not very spacious. Try putting a big bag of shopping behind the front seat! Then the shiny plastic radio surround reflects the sun into your eyes (v annoying!). You get way more road/tyre noise on the Up! The Up!'s transmission tunnel is huge! Finally, the pop-out rear windows, the mirror simply glued to the windscreen & bare metal in the cabin make the Up! feel very third world.
Pound for pound, the Celerio is a far better car than the Up!
Peter Growcott and very cheap... The celerio second hand is ranged from R70000,00+ for the upper spec model .. While the i10 fluid ranges from well over R190000+ for models with the touchscreen and finally the up can range from R120000+ .. For me i take the celerio because it has the whole package "6-airbags, more space , 4-electric windows , Esp and Abs"
The celerio was rated the most reliable small car by the 2019 What Car Reliability Survey.
The celerio is very light on fuel for the street bashes
The Celerio is the car for those whose one and only priority is to go from A to B in a car (with or without passengers) in the cheapest way. And I think the Celerio is pretty good at doing that.
P.S. - I would still buy one of the other two though.
There is no cheap and cheerful, there is expensive and cheerful or cheap and dreary.
Jeremy Clarkson
That's not true. The Suzuki Swift proves that cheap & hysterically amusing does exist.
@@iatsd especially in 1.6 form.
I10!
It's amazing that it all came down to the driving dynamics, sort of an interesting twist.
He said it won the test, because it holds his own on the motorway.. but it's a city car? :D
@Futurebreeze Well someone had a bad day today, didn't you.
i drove the hyundai 3500km trough morokko for 3 weeks, it handled dirt, mountains and motorways with ease if you punch it, best car for low price imo. :)
Had a 2013 up! And the rattling transmission coupled with tiny fuel tank really annoyed after awhile, was overly cost cut really.
This was a very good video, though I would have liked the Vauxhall VIVA (Opel Karl) to have been included as well.
I think VW's idea with the maps + more app is really great, saves money and works just fine
VWs never save you money.
I bought a VW Up 2017 and I have it since october and I have to say its very good in the city. It drives like a true VW,its almost the same like my 2011 VW Golf Mk6. Amazing little car,good handling,beautiful and the 1.0 MPI 75 Hp its pretty nippy in city,oh,and the consumption is great too :).
VladJoachim I had a Vw Lupo, referred at quality I believe you and pretty spacious but about consumption not really lol
when you say a true VW do you mean that its broken all the time ???:)
VladJoachim People saying that unreliable. Better get an extended warranty.
xeniosaias Ahaha, I have a Volkswagen sharan and the maintenance lights are always up but the car soldiers on. I average around 44+mpg in the city and 56MPG on the motorway. Great car but poor electronics.
VladJoachim my 1.0 MPI (60 hp) drives pretty well too, no squeaks or rattles, it's a true VW. the engine is surprisingly responsive for such a small naturally aspirated one and gets up to 100 km/h in 9 seconds which isn't too bad for 60 hp. however, mine does consume a quite a bit of oil, and it's a 2017… I'm not really for all this downsizing and adding turbos to lawnmower engines just because people need to get 300 mph out of a petrol (!!!) car
I always look forward to watching the car wow videos.
Didn't mentioned the celerios legendary k series engine which will return you mileage that no other can
6:28 Were there any cars that you reviewed that all 3 of the passengers gave a thumbs up?
Audi Q7 comes to mind - czcams.com/video/vlt7kdoC2g4/video.html

karthik arumugam it's okay if one understands... Save ur pedantic attitude for your wife...
Mat,we re expecting a head to head video soon with the b-segment new cars.(fiesta,polo)
super helpful thank you
Beeing 100% practical and 0 emotion... the Celerio is quite incredible, huge space, big boot, and is by far the cheapest
What about build quality??????
Please next compare FIAT Tipo vs it's rivals
Hyundai makes great cars and they starting to look good too
While I agree that they look good, they could use a bit of originality. The new i30 is either a Focus or a Mazda 3, I can't decide which.
Last generation was following those 2 cars' styling too.
The VW gives you the smallest car at the highest price with an overengineered engine, which will cost you a fortune if the turbo breaks down. The Suzuki offers the most space at the lowest cost but it looks a little bit lame and the interior looks really cheap. The Hyundai offers a good design, good space and an engine without a turbocharger. So it is not the cheapest but it is cheap, has no expensive parts that tend to break and it has 5 years of warranty without any limitation. For me, that's the winner.
What Mat Watson forgets is that these cars are not meant to be a sports car. Usually, they are just used in cities, not on motorways. I got an i10 last year for my way to work. It replaced my BMW 318i touring, which I still have but I didn't want it to go 200km every day. The only thing I missing is the space if I have to transport big stuff. But here I am talking about really big stuff. The Hyundai can also take 2m boards as long as the width is not too big or some Ikea stuff. I am getting close to 50000 km now and I'm still happy with my car.
Good review! I think that you showcased all 3 cars extremely well and gave any buyer a good idea what they will be up against! No pun intended.
Mat Watson is fantastic at his job! I love his way of reviewing cars! You get all the information that matters while also being very entertained! Would be a great additional to a certain motoring show!
It seems you already made up your mind before the test because you said that you were surprised by the performance of the Celerio, but you "still" think it is worth getting the Hyundai, and your preference was the Up. From this test I think the Celerio was the far better car, it had more space, it was more economical. Also I preferred the interior because it was more formal and did not appear over designed, which gives a tacky appearance.
Every word is true!!!
Nice to see you again...
Ford mondeo vs Toyota Yaris hybrid vs Merc B class
Please?
Ideal cars for a family
I'd have the i10 just sold a 9 year old one what never went wrong nothing not even a bulb
really like the stylish, premium, and feature packed i10 but I think the Picanto has even better styling.
8:25 Who will go to play golf in a celerio !!!!
Yeah I had a good chuckle at that part of the video.
The Hyundai i10 is more practical than the others
Lol cuz u own one
No Mat, don't agree at all!! Why do you have a turbo charged Vw Up there!!! Compare the non-turbo Up against the other 2
Still Im for hyundai i10 the best!
SUZUKI design is simple,but they have always safety, strong , smart spec and good cost perforemance.
i10 every time
Kia rio vs hyundai i20 vs vw polo please
Volkswagen Up parts/maintenance will be more expensive in the long run ( pop out rear window is a minus ), Celerio is so basic as your average appliance, so best for average buyer with average wage that won't bore you to bits as much is Hyundai i10.
Since when is it always hot and sunny in the UK during December? o.O
thernztrom or any time of the year
I`m wondering if the steering wheel is in the serial equipment :D
Great vid! Although I would say the old music is better
U should compare the closely priced variants of the cars... To get the better result
@Aryan Ghouri
Because this is not sponsored by suzuki like most press reviews in india
How about fiat panda and peugeot 108?
What if you could not get the 1.0 litre turbo VW up. Budget for example. Would the i10 have won in this case?
I've got an non turbo UP. It's perfectly fine. I love it
wheres the picanto??
The Up looks like a dishwasher. I had an i10 as a courtesy car for a week and was actually pleasantly surprised, aside from the shit clutch and brake pedal situation(either all or nothing) everything else was surprisingly nice, actually had a great sound system
You don't get what you don't pay for😂😂
I’ve never had problems with the i10 on the motorway and it’s only a 1 litre. I love it so much I’m upgrading to the new generation
I wish we had more city cars available in my country. The ones we do have usually cost less than US$8,000 (when converted to American currency)
Sir can u compare between ford evrest vs toyota fortuner vs skoda kodiaq
I'd take the i10 and just do an engine swap with an s3
Audi s3?
The celerio has got a proper radio and CD player. That's what I want. As someone nearly 60 I think touch screens are dangerous and I can't use them. some of us don't want all this tech. We want simple
5 years warranty and of course... break disks to back wheel...even the expensive up dont have...
I would go for the Volkswagen Up! for its charming looks and customizability.
Opel Karl, Fiat Panda, Ford ka+ now. Merci for this review 😊
Um where are the up’s centre air conditioning vents?
Behind the smartphone holder, which isn't very good imo.
I live in India and I have a renault kwid that starts with 3000 dollars and has an information system and has 70 bhp the top end model is 3400 dollars
Nandan Belagodu ohh....Please....1 dollar equals to 65 rupees.....You are saying that Renault kwid comes under 3400 dollars.....Means under 3 lakhs......Are you maid....Top end version cost a little less than 5lakhs....Means...8-9000 dollars...
How much did it cost you to watch this video
The vw up looks the best and is the most fun to drive
The i10 is better at everything else
The Suzuki is cheapest
That’s about it
I'd probably go for the Suzuki. Less melty styling and more boot space. Hope there's a 3 door option.
Nice guns Mat ...😀
Celerio is still best selling hatchback in India
So which one should you buy, a second hand V70r and 3 years worth of petrol and maintence costs sell it in 5 years when's it''s officially a classic and double your money comfortably
Please review of new hyundai santro sportz
Y did u have to get the beats addition, the base model is what most first time buyers will buy
Can you provide me Front bumper of hyundai i10 & what's is price...?
9:52 is an accurate representation of me everytime I'm overtaking! However I've got the 1L only. I love my little i10 🥰 (first car)
Where do u put Toyota AYGO relative to this cars
I can't understand "power for overtaking on the motorway" ? the i10 for instance will cruise at 80 all day long at about 50mpg, you do not overtake on a motorway, but you can go faster than other cars if you wish.
However the 1248 motor will overtake easily coming off islands on dual carriageways, often needing care because 90 is no problem either.
Funny thing, very surprised by 1litre i10, 3 cylinder rental in Spain, went up the big hills at 60+ much better than the bigger engine. Still only 50mpg though.
The 2021 next gen Celerio offered in India is amazing, it has power windows, auto mirrors, best fuel economy, and a larger boot than before.
The Celerio looks a bit weak but I got into an accident in it and it performs med really well. I was impressed.
I have a hyundai i10 automatic and its a beast, its so comfy and it doesn't feel slow at all. Only issue is that i cant get over 29 mpg and i dont think i drive uneconomically
Futurebreeze I didn’t know it at the time but the sort of driving I do around London consists of constantly slowing down and accelerating which makes it really bad. On the motorway I get around 45 even when revving it a lot
only hyundai
Which one of those is the Best?
vw 42 mpg , hyundai 48 mpg, suzuki 63 mpg....well in my book Suzuki is winner with 63 mpg...its amazing economic car, vw is sooo far from economic car...
I go with Hyundai
My choice Hyundai i10, next vw !
You should do a video of the "best" first (used) cars for broke college students. Less than 1500€.
By best I mean that will last more than a few months
That is nowhere in the same 'class' as these cars....
The UK works in £. When I convert € to £, €1500 equals £1318.93
Wizzlo Yeah, my comment is a bit unrelated to the video
Cars in UK are cheaper than where I live, so let's say less than 1200£, or the minimum wage a young guy gets by working all summer. 2-3 months
I have the car for you. Toyota Yaris 2003 1.3. They go for 1k. This is my current car and I love it. It’s not slow and is very reliable. It’s also bigger inside than you think. Get a T3 spec. I average 42 mpg. 37 in London. If you drive at 50mph you’ll get high fifties. It will also do comfortable cruising at 70 80 mph. 0,60 mph is 11 secs which is decent. If you don’t care about that sort of thing then go for the 1.0 litre.
