As it can be clearly foresaid, with a price tag this low, the company once again aims at the common man’s pocket giving tough competition to the already existing Tata Nano.
Maruti Cervo is expected to come well equipped of advanced modern day common features but so far, there is not much revealed about the same. The Company has kept it one of the top secret projects that they have been working on to create anticipation and prepare the market to get set for some 4- seaters as well. However other countries have already witnessed their version of Cervo and it has seemed to have worked well for them.
Maruti Cervo Mileage and Fuel Efficiency
Variant | Mileage (City) | Mileage (Highway) |
Maruti Cervo Petrol | 17 kmpl | 22 kmpl |
It is expected that Maruti Cervo mileage could be really decent that would be around 17 Kmpl in the city and 22 Kmpl on the highways. The data suggests a significant distinctive performance and with figures like these, Cervo will have its market for sure. It is to be noted that nowadays, several car makers are coming up with the cars that can deliver mind-blowing fuel economy, hence, there will be intense pressure on Maruti to make it highly economical. Here, the news is spreading that after the successful launch of Maruti Cervo petrol model, a diesel powered version is also in the pipeline that will deliver anything above 25 kmpl.
Maruti Cervo Engine, Power and Performance
Model | Displacement | Max Power (PS/RPM) | Max Torque (NM/RPM) |
Maruti Cervo Petrol | 660 cc | 54/6500 | 64/3500 |
Maruti Cervo is powered by a VVT petrol Engine. As known, the Engine is based on the Variable Valve Timing Technology that is famous for delivering high mileage efficiencies with proper combustion. The Engine is well capable of holding a displacement capacity of about 660 cc which is quite fair for a low budget car like Cervo. Moreover with the VVT engine, the car would not feel very delicate in power since the engine itself has been designed to provide optimum power and torque. The new Maruti Cervo is expected to deliver a significant power performance generating around 54 bhp at 6500 rpm and a torque of about 64 Nm at 3500. The engine may not have a very good hold on power but still matches up to the price tag the company has put forth. Moreover, there are speculations hovering in the market that this petrol powered small car will be followed by Maruti Cervo diesel run engine, after its launch in the country.

Maruti Cervo Petrol 660cc | 54/ 6500 | 64/ 3500 | 25 seconds | 120 km/h | 5-speed Manual Transmission |
In this aspect Maruti Cervo will definitely be the segment king as soon as it is launched, as it will have to compete only with Tata Nano. Hence it will easily surpass all the figures of acceleration being a competitive Maruti product. The small 660cc engine will be capable enough to outpour a straight maximum power of nearly 54 PS at 6500 rpm. Here with this power it will acquire the 100 kph mark from stationary in mere span of 25 seconds. Though this number might look yawning, but is far better than that of Tata Nano and considerable with engine of this minor displacement. On the other hand, this mini motor will generate 64 Nm of peak torque at 3500 rpm that will assist Maruti Cervo in achieving a top speed of approximately 120 kmph. Here, in the Maruti Cervo pickup and acceleration the 5-speed Manual Transmission (MT) will also play a crucial role.
