Maruti Cervo Mileage

A yet-to-launch miracle product from Maruti Suzuki, Maruti Cervo, is expected to be launched in India with a 0.7L, 660cc petrol engine that will do away Maruti Alto, Maruti 800 and Maruti Wagon R. This entry-level hatchback is capable to generate a peak power of 60 bhp and top torque of 64Nm and the engine power will be delivered through 4 speed automatic transmission. An advanced Variable Valve Timing (VVT) technology will be loaded in the powertrain to enhance the fuel efficiency of Maruti Cervo. The technology promises better mileage by optimizing fuel consumption. As per estimation, the car would give around 20-24 kmpl of mileage. However, a lot will depend on the size, weight and tyres. But what we mention is desirable in a car which is going to replace Maruti's top selling models in India.

 Power of Maruti Cervo

Maruti Cervo will be a compact car loaded with quality features from Suzuki. The five door hatchback is believed to be introduced in India equipped with 0.7L petrol engine. The engine size will be 660cc. Even though the engine size is small but it is to develop impressive power of 60 bhp and a peak torque of 64 Nm. The Variable Valve Timing (VVT) technology of the engine helps to enhance power, torque and mileage figures considerably. The technology is also responsible for optimum release of power, thereby power loss during driving is protected. As a result, engine efficiency is increased, lesser carbon emissions and greater fuel consumption. This also make sure smoother and comfortable driving experience with excellent fuel economy.

Maruti Cervo Exteriors

The most fascinating feature of Maruti Cervo is its funky exterior which comprised of sexy curves, flow lines and sporty appeal. You will fall in love with the car at first sight. The exterior looks is unique and declares it a new generation vehicle.

The front face of the car is compact which give a feel of blend of classic and modern car. The headlight cluster is in 'eye' shape which houses round turn indicator and headlamp. Right down the headlmaps cluster, smiling grille are placed with chrome finished strip. The honeycomb radiator grille are neat and clean. Fog lamp is not available with the Maruti Cervo. Just below the upper grille, a rectangular strip of lower grille in black is placed. However, the front and rear bumper is in body colour. Apart from this, body colour side view mirrors, body colour door handle bars add to the stunning beauty of the sexy avatar. Small turn indicators are fitted at the front side of the car. It is also clear that the rear passenger side door will be lesser in width as compared to front door. That might trouble the rear passenger when access.

The rear side of the car is as superb as the front one. The rear side is adorned by rear spoiler, placed at the top of the rear hatch, funky rear wiper and dotted LED brake light. The taillight cluster also is to come in the same design as front but in smaller shape which comprised of brake lights and turn indicators. A compact antenna is also fitted on the rear roof for sporty looking. The tyres are nicely covered by wheel covers.

Exterior Measurements

The upcoming model of Maruti named as Maruti Cervo is to land here with slight changes in dimension and features in order to reduce price and avoiding taxes. There is no official word on its dimension but we can predict that it would be having more or less same size as Maruti Alto.

Maruti Cervo Interior

Not only the exterior of the Maruti Cervo but also the interior of the car is eye-catching and spacious. Let's start from steering wheel. The steering wheel is expected to be three spoked and powered that helps to handle the car with ease and less physical force. The steering wheel is adjustable as well. Maruti Cervo is believed to come here with wider dashboard comprising round AC vents at both end and instrument panel just behind the steering wheel. A large storage box, standard to all compact cars, in front of the front passenger is a must. Rear view mirror is also a part and parcel of the machine nowadays.

The seats for driver and other passengers are wide and comfy with small headrest. Headroom and legroom at both rows are pretty enough for four passengers. But if you try to adjust three people at rear seats, it might be troublesome. Maruti Cervo is blessed with seatbelts for all the passengers. The flooring and roof are in slender layer in order to provide enough space. At the rear side a big boot space is there. The boot space is nicely carved and having completely flat surface that allows to put more items in it.

Interior Comfort

As it is already mentioned that the car is more spacious at front and rear. All the seats are provided with seat belts, enough headroom and legroom. However, the leg and headroom is larger at front row. It is also expected that Maruti Cervo will come with larger boot space. In that kind of boot, you can put tin type stuffs as well. So as a result, it can be used as an MPV. Storage space is to be ensured at front row and rear too.

Interior Measurements

At this point of time, it is not possible to provide exact specification of interior measurements. Nevertheless, we may hope for pretty good headroom, legroom and storage space in the car.

Wheels

As this will be a replacement of Maruti's best selling model, Maruti Alto, now. It is speculated that it will be equipped with 12 inch wheels with attractive wheel covers like you must have seen on the internet. Over 2,000 mm of wheelbase would be installed for standard stability and balance of the machine.

Maruti Cervo Engine and Performance

Maruti Cervo has been launched in Japan already and doing very well. After seeing the response form the country, Suzuki is planning to launch the machine in India under the alliance with Maruti Udyog. As the tradition for Suzuki, the Maruti Cervo would be launched here with less luxury features but engine would be more or less same. That means, Maruti Cervo will be fitted with new generation 0.7L petrol engine with VVT technology. This engine, must be of 660cc, would churns out 60bhp of maximum power and 64 Nm of peak torque. The powertrain is equipped with some of the advanced technologies which ensure better fuel economy and power. One of the technology which is incorporated in the mill is Variable Valve Timing (VVT). The VVT is there for greater fuel efficiency, less carbon emissions and minimum power loss. The system allows the timing of the intake valve to be altered when the mill is in action, hence making sure that is no chance of power loss or wastage. This results in lesser carbon emissions, greater fuel economy and refined mill efficiency. The technology also ensure quick pick-up, starting and power for any kind of roads. Maruti Cervo would come fitted with four speed automatic transmission that uses the power very well and clears the traffic in an amazing way.
