  A model of induced gravity with Higgs potential is analysed for the FLRW
cosmology. Conditions of acceleration and signatures for the primeval universe
along with the inflation are discussed. It is shown that the scalar-field
excitations act quintessentially within effective pressure terms for a negative
deceleration parameter. The violation of energy conditions and primeval
acceleration appears naturally in the present model in view of the notions for
inflationary universe with the avoidance of the Big Bang singularity.
