MARUTI CERVO

SUPER FEATURES:

          India's leading car maker Maruti Suzuki is planning to launch its compact car Cervo by the end of this year. The 5-door car will be equipped with 54bhp 660cc engine.

           Maruti Cervo is likely to look similar to Honda Fit. The car will resemble Swift or SX4 in interior design. Other features of the car include a K6A DOHC engine with VVT, 5-speed auto gearbox and bluetooth capability. Cervo has already been launched in Japan and has turned out to be a success there. The car is expected to be priced between 2 Lakh to 3 Lakh.

Mileage, Average and Fuel Economy:

          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:

       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 Interiors

Interior Appearance:

      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.

Braking and Handling:

       Maruti Cervo is receiving overwhelming response in Japan and the company is expecting same kind of success in India too. In view to ensure the same, the alliance of Suzuki and Maruti is not supposed to give their best. Braking system in Maruti Cervo will be conventional type that will follow front disc and rear drum brake. We can't expect ABS system in this price range. The car will also house newer shock absorbers. The suspensions are responsible for smooth driving which not only increase riding pleasure but safety also.

Handling and Safety:

       To handle and maneuver this car in city traffic is very easy and much comfortable. Its compact size, quick responding transmission and control features make the drive much easier and smooth. Power steering in the car help to handle it with less effort. Apart from this, parking the vehicle anywhere is much easier due to its small dimension. The Maruti Cervo is expected to be fitted with central locking and AC.

        As far as safety is concerned, Maruti Cervo will be equipped with standard active and passive safety features. The major prediction about safety are two airbags, engine immobilizer, front and side impact beams, passenger side rear view mirrors, child safety lock, seat-belts and anti-theft system. Driver's and front passenger airbags are a must for Maruti Cervo.

Stereo and Accessories:

      This most sought after feature might be present with a few equipments. It will largely depend on the pricing of the car. But higher-end type multimedia features are a no-no.

     Maruti Cervo is believed to be brought in India with air conditioning system that promises cool atmosphere inside the car when summer sets in.
