Suzuki has discontinued the Celerio and the Baleno in the UK. According to a media report, only a few ex-demonstrator cars will be sold but no new unregistered cars will be sold.



The report suggests that the company will instead focus on better-selling cars like the Ignis, Swift, S-Cross, and the Vitara. The carmaker is said to be preparing its line-up for future emission regulations.

The Celerio was launched in 2015. In Europe, Suzuki sold 21,000 units in 2018. In comparison, the Ignis sold more than two times the number. The Baleno was launched in 2016 and sold 15,000 units in 2018 in Europe. In comparison, the Swift sold 55,000 units.

15k units a year is still a good number. Unless they are in the low thousands I am surprised they are stopping to sell these cars in the UK. Maybe stricter crash test norms have something to do with it? Anyways I think the Celerio is called the Celery in the UK .

15000 units in Europe. That seems like a small number for that big a market. Plus I don't know if an RS version is available for the Baleno, but the Swift Sport is a loved car there. And Ignis too, clearly with the sales numbers.
OT... Ignis has a AWD version in the UK.

Swift has a cult following in the Uk. With cars like the VW Up and the Peugeot 107/Toyota Aygo, the Celerio just does not cut it. The Baleno is too bland and the Ford Fiesta/ VW Polo, upcoming Peugeot 208/Vauxhall Corsa will decimate it.
