Where each one leads
Citroen C1
Ahead on none of the like-for-like measures.
Suzuki Celerio
- Against cars of the same age, the Suzuki Celerio comes out better at its first MOT test (passes 7% more often than average) than the Citroen C1 (passes 2% more often than average).
- Fewer Suzuki Celerio cars in the Netherlands carry an illogical odometer record (1.3% against 3.1%).
Too close to call: official CO₂ of new cars in Europe (g/km).
Only measures that do not depend on how many cars were sold: pass and failure rates against cars of the same age, ratings, fuel use and CO₂. How we compare
