The Maruti Cervo has a compact and simple design, but it doesn’t look boring at all. The front is sharp with a small grille and sleek headlamps that give it a slightly sporty feel. The body is nicely shaped with smooth curves and short overhangs, making it perfect for narrow city streets.
Though it is small in size, the Cervo gives a decent road presence with its smart alloy-like wheel covers (in higher variants) and dual-tone bumpers. The car is available in bright and youthful colors like red, silver, white, and blue, which add to its fresh appeal.
Inside the cabin, the dashboard is neatly arranged with dual-tone finish, basic controls, and simple AC vents. Despite being a budget car, the fit and finish feel decent for the price.
Engine & Performance
Under the hood, the Maruti Suzuki Cervo comes with a 796cc 3-cylinder petrol engine, which delivers about 47 bhp and 69 Nm of torque. This engine is quite similar to what was earlier seen in the Alto, so reliability is not a concern.
The 5-speed manual transmission is smooth and works well in traffic. It is not a powerful car, but for daily commuting, school runs, or market visits, it offers sufficient power. It can reach speeds of up to 100 kmph comfortably, although it’s more comfortable at 60-80 kmph for regular city driving.
Ride & Handling
The lightweight body and compact size make the Cervo very easy to drive, especially in crowded cities. It has a tight turning radius, which makes U-turns and parking extremely easy, even in narrow lanes.
The suspension setup is simple but does a good job of handling small potholes and bumps. The steering is light, and the ride feels stable at low to medium speeds. Though it’s not a highway cruiser, it manages short trips well.
The braking performance is also decent, and with the addition of ABS in the top variant, safety is improved.
Features & Tech
Don’t expect too many fancy features at this price point, but Maruti has included all the basic and useful ones. Some highlights include:
-
Power steering
-
Manual AC
-
Front power windows
-
Digital fuel meter and trip meter
-
Dual airbags (top variant)
-
ABS (top variant)
-
Central locking (optional)
-
Music system with USB and AUX support (top variant)
The base model is very basic, but the mid and top variants bring decent value.
Mileage & Fuel Efficiency
Mileage is one of the biggest reasons people will choose the Cervo. Maruti claims a mileage of up to 35 kmpl, which makes it one of the most fuel-efficient petrol cars in India.
Even in real-world city driving, you can expect around 28-30 kmpl, which is very impressive. With a 35-litre fuel tank, you can easily travel over 1000 km on a full tank.
Price & Variants
The Maruti Suzuki Cervo is available in three variants:
-
Base Variant – ₹2.4 Lakh
-
Mid Variant – ₹2.75 Lakh
-
Top Variant – ₹3.10 Lakh
The base variant is ideal for those who just want a no-frills daily commuter. The top variant offers better safety and comfort features. All variants are available with a standard 2-year/40,000 km warranty, which can be extended.
