Suzuki Cervo

The Suzuki Cervo is a kei car conceived in 2006 from a long lost name plate catered for the proftiable kei car market in Japan and Indian car markets(under the name Maruti). The Cervo gets a bold front end treatment dominated by oversized, teardrop-shaped headlamps that flank a chrome-trimmed trapezoidal grille. The lower fascia's grille opening extends to the corner foglight mounts, giving Cervo a smiling visage. The car's slab-sided profile is nicely interrupted by an upward-angled accent line. Drivers who select the sportier TX trim (above) see the car dressed up with alloys, additional skirting, and a rear decklid spoiler that caps a tidy rear end. Overall, there is a premium feel to this car despite it's size, very much what you would expect from a Suzuki Swift.



The Cervo sold in Japan derives power from a 660cc engine that develops a healthy 55bhp(which exactly happens to be the ones parallel importers are selling in Singapore). The Cervo meets Japan's 4-star emissions standard and exceeds the 2010 fuel economy standards by an additional 10-percent. In a country like Singapore where small cars are concerned, the Cervo must be priced right to compete with the likes of the Chevrolet Spark and Chery QQ, which are low budget propositions.
