Small Car from Maruti...

By -
Maruti Cervo is the upcoming starting range small car in India that will replace Maruti’s iconic and oldest small car – Maruti 800 – in the country. The Maruti Cervo is expected to come powered by a 0.7L, 660CC petrol engine along with maximum power capability of 60bhp. The car would be shelved in the price segment of sub Rs 2 lakh where it will further shorten the price gap between the Alto series and India’s cheapest car Tata Nano. 

The Cervo model is already available in the Japanese market where it has been receiving an overwhelming response from the Japanese buyers. However, the company is expected to shed a few features in the Indian version of the car, in order to keep its price as competitive as possible. 

Blessed with a new generation sporty look, the Maruti Cervo will be targeted at the young buyers who give more preference to the design and style of the car over the engine power. The major competitors of the Cervo model in the country will be Tata Nano, upcoming 800CC car from Hyundai and upcoming ultra low cost (ULC) car from Nissan-Renault-Bajaj joint venture. The new Maruti Cervo is expected to be launched in the country in first half of next year.

Engine & Specifications of Maruti Cervo

As mentioned above, the Maruti Suzuki Cervo is expected to come powered by a 660CC petrol engine that would be capable of generating a peak power of 60 bhp along with a top torque of 64 Nm. The new generation petrol engine of Cervo is expected to come blessed with Variable Valve Timing (VVT) that boosts the fuel economy of the car considerably. Considering a rising demand for automatic transmission run cars, the company may decide to roll-out Cervo in both 4-speed manual and automatic transmission versions.   

Performance of Maruti Cervo

Blessed with a range of new generation performance enhancing features, the current model of Maruti Cervo has been highly appreciated for its powerful performance. The Variable Valve Timing (VVT) technology of the Cervo model ensures minimum power-loss along with maximum fuel efficiency and lower carbon emission level. The Cervo model is expected to deliver a high fuel economy in the range of 20 to 24 kmpl. 

The highly sophisticated automatic transmission of Cervo enables it to zip through the city traffic, effortlessly. The car is speculated to cross the speed barrier of 100 km/h in 25 seconds and will have a top speed of 115 km/h.


Exterior, Interior & Safety of Maruti Cervo

The Cervo is a hatchback model with five doors and sitting capacity for four. The car looks sporty with especially the front look appealing. The head lamps, the fog lamps and the tail lamps are all well chosen and add to the beauty of the car. The interiors are made in a well balanced fashion with plenty of classy and contemporary features.

The Maruti Cervo is a youthful car that carries a sporty appeal along with charismatic road presence, thanks to the sexy curves and unique flow lines used throughout the exterior. The car has been provided with a compact face by using a human-eye like head-light cluster along with a smiling grille, right below the headlamps. The interior is admirable and spacious and comes loaded with a range of new generation comfort & convenience features that comprises of power windows, power steering, AC etc. 

However, some of these features are expected to be absent in Indian version of the car.

Sixty years back, the word ‘car’ in India literally meant the Ambassador for most Indians. A lot has changed since then, with horde of automobile manufacturers active in the Indian market, sales figures for Hindustan Motors have hit an all time low 5,510 units in the first 10 months of the current fiscal year. Over the years, it has been the Indian political class that has been keeping Hindustan Motors rolling. The latest blow to Hindustan motors came from the Govt. of India itself, which replaced the Ambassador with cars like the  Maruti SX4  and the  Tata Indigo CS considering safety and performance issues. The next-gen Ambassador will feature structural, aerodynamic and aesthetical chages. Changes on board the 2012 Ambassador include new engine calibrations, an anti-lock brake system and aluminium alloy wheels. For comfort, there will be new leather seats coupled with wood grain interiors. For the first time, there will also be an integrated music system and redesigned instrument c

Force Motors, which launched its first SUV, Force One, last August will launch a new 4x4 version and a variant equipped with ABS by mid-2012. The new 4X4 was displayed at the Auto Expo last month. At the launch, the company had indicated its intentions to offer more features in the SUV at a later stage. These features have made it to the SUV, but the company has been tight-lipped about launch date  and price tag. The 4x4 variant will continue to be powered by the FM-Tech 2.2-litre common-rail turbo-diesel motor that develops 139bhp and 32.6kgm of torque. It will be offered with a five-speed manual gearbox as is the case with the 4x2 version. There will be no visual changes to  differentiate the 4x4 from its 4x2 sibling, except for  the badge. We expect the ABS-equipped 4x4 version to  cost at least Rs 1 lakh more than the 4x2 variant, which costs Rs 10.65 lakh (ex-showroom,  Delhi).

Authentic Cars  broke the news on the upcoming Maruti 800 way back in July last year   and now we bring you more info on the car that will finally replace the venerable Maruti 800.  This new car, to be called the Alto 800 (codename: YE3), is based on the Alto, but with significant modifications done to make it cheaper. Not to be confused with the Alto sold in Japan, the new Alto 800 is based on the current generation Alto (YG4) but with a new body and interior. As seen in the pictures, the design is rather basic but there is more than a passing resemblance to the Japanese Alto, especially from the front. The nose gets high-mounted headlights, a slim, slot-like grille and there is a huge secondary air-inlet opening above and below the bumper. The styling is in line with the current-generation Suzukis, and details like the slanting window-line point to an aggressive tip-forward stance. Also, there is a prominent character-line that runs on the sides, right from the headlamps all the
