Suzuki Cervo generations
First generation (1977–1982). The first-generation Suzuki Cervo was a Mini 3-doors with one version, the 0.6 MT. Its 547 cc Gasoline engine was rear-mounted and paired with RWD and a 4-speed Manual transmission.
Second generation (1982–1987). The second-generation Mini 3-doors also had one version, named 0.6 MT. It used a front, transverse 543 cc Gasoline engine, FWD and a 4-speed Manual gearbox.
Third generation (1988–1990). The third-generation Suzuki Cervo retained the Mini 3-doors body and offered three versions: 0.6 MT with FWD, 0.6 MT with AWD, and 0.6 AT with FWD.
Fourth generation (1990–2006). The original fourth generation ran from 1990 to 1995 as a Mini 3-doors with ten versions. Its 1995–1998 restyling remained a Mini 3-doors and contained twelve versions. The 1998–2006 second restyling changed to a Mini 5-doors and offered seven versions. Across these phases, the catalogue lists 657 cc Gasoline engines with naturally aspirated and Turbo specifications, plus Manual and Automatic transmissions and FWD or AWD.
Fifth generation (2006–2009). The fifth-generation Suzuki Cervo was a Mini 5-doors with six versions. Every version had a 658 cc inline 3-cylinder Gasoline engine. Outputs were 54, 60 or 64 hp, while the available combinations included naturally aspirated and Turbo engines, Automatic and Variable transmissions, and FWD or AWD.

Suzuki Cervo performance, mpg and economy
Acceleration from 0–100 is not measured for any Suzuki Cervo version in the catalogue. Top speed is not measured for every version except the second-generation 0.6 MT, for which the listed maximum is 110. City, highway and combined fuel consumption are not measured for any version, so an mpg or mileage claim cannot be calculated from these data. CO₂ output and environmental class are also not measured.
The first generation specifies fuel grade 92. Fuel grade for the second generation is not measured. All listed versions from the third through fifth generations specify fuel grade 95.
Suzuki Cervo dimensions, weight and capacity
Exterior length, width and height are not measured, so Suzuki Cervo dimensions in feet cannot be stated from this catalogue. Wheel sizes and gross weight are not measured for any version.
The first-generation 0.6 MT has 159 mm of ground clearance; its kerb weight and fuel-tank capacity are not measured. The second-generation 0.6 MT weighs 550 kg, while ground clearance and tank capacity are not measured.
Third-generation versions weigh from 590 to 610 kg and have 155 mm of ground clearance. Fourth-generation versions weigh from 640 to 740 kg, with ground clearance from 130 to 155 mm. Fifth-generation versions weigh from 790 to 870 kg and all have 150 mm of ground clearance. Every listed third-, fourth- and fifth-generation version has a 30-litre fuel tank.
All versions use independent, spring front suspension. The second through fourth generations use dependent, spring rear suspension; the fifth uses dependent, leaf spring rear suspension. Front and rear brakes are Drum on the second generation. The first generation has front Disc brakes, with rear brakes not measured. The third through fifth generations combine front Disc and rear Drum brakes.
Which Suzuki Cervo version to choose?
For the highest listed output and torque, choose a fifth-generation 0.7 CVT: both the FWD and AWD specifications produce 64 hp and 103 Nm. They deliver 4 hp and 20 Nm more than the fifth-generation 0.7 AT Turbo versions rated at 60 hp and 83 Nm. The FWD 0.7 CVT weighs 820 kg, while the AWD version weighs 870 kg, a difference of 50 kg.
For a fifth-generation Automatic rather than Variable transmission, the 60 hp Turbo 0.7 AT offers 6 hp and 20 Nm more than the naturally aspirated 54 hp 0.7 AT. Within either output level, selecting AWD adds 50 kg: the 54 hp cars weigh 790 kg with FWD and 840 kg with AWD, while the 60 hp cars weigh 810 and 860 kg respectively.
Among the fourth-generation cars, the highest output is 64 hp. In the original fourth generation, the 61 hp Turbo versions make 90 Nm, which is 8 Nm more than the 64 hp Turbo versions’ 82 Nm despite having 3 hp less. In the restyled fourth generation, the 64 hp Turbo 0.7 MT and 0.7 AT specifications make 82 Nm.
For the lowest listed kerb weight, the second-generation 0.6 MT weighs 550 kg. Among versions with both a measured kerb weight and a measured 30-litre tank, the lightest choices are the third-generation FWD and AWD 0.6 MT versions at 590 kg. Pricing, reliability records, problems, current sale listings and comparisons with other models are not measured in the supplied data.
