The new Maruti Cervo is designed to impress with its amazing mileage and budget-friendly price. It comes with a 0.8L 3-cylinder petrol engine that delivers up to 26 kmpl, making it one of the most fuel-efficient cars in its segment. The starting price is under ₹5 lakh, which is similar to the cost of a premium bike like the Bullet. The car has a modern, compact design and can comfortably seat 4-5 people, making it ideal for middle-class families and first-time car buyers.
Mileage & Performance: Perfect for Everyday Use
India is pretty serious about fuel efficiency, and the Cervo doesn’t let anybody down. In Real Life it delivers ~22-24 kmpl which is quite decent for daily driving. A good option for those who live in suburban or far away villages where the cost of fuel starts to run faster. consider this Suresh, a local shop owner who did change from scooter to Cervo. Now his whole family travel in comfort and the fuel expense are almost similar what he spends on his scooter, as a single!
Affordable Price: A Car for the Cost of a Bike
Prices of bikes such as the Bullet being priced at ₹2 lakh the Cervo’s starting price of ₹4.5 lakh feels like discount in the industry. Priced from ₹4.5 Lakh to ₹5.1 Lakh, it will be very accessible for a prospective car buyer, who wants to forgo his two-wheeler.

Cervo gets a new and fresh look with LED daytime running lights, touchscreen infotainment in the top trims, power windows and steering as well. And safety: it has dual airbags and ABS, so you and your loved ones will have a safe ride.

This is the car for college kids, working professionals, people who are retired,re and even Women, to keep it simple to drive economical car. I take the school teacher Reena for example, she used to commute on her scooter but now cruises in her Cervo with AC for just ₹100/day!
