Maruti Suzuki Alto

The Maruti Suzuki Alto made its debut in 2012, and its 800cc version was called the Alto 800. The new-generation Maruti Suzuki was introduced in 2019 with significant upgrades and starts selling at 3.15 Lakh Rs. Alto's engine has been upgraded to meet BS-VI standards and the body shell has been improved to meet the latest crash-test standards.
Looks and built
The petal-shaped headlamps, body panels, doors, boot lid, and rear bumper from the previous Alto have been carried forward. The latest version of India's most popular car features a new front bumper with a big air dam and honeycomb-style plastic mesh. Fog lamps are available, however they may only be purchased as paid add-ons. The front grille has been updated as well, with a black surround. The new Alto is also 50mm longer than the previous model, which was 3,395mm long. This length increase is related to a revised bumper design that aids the Alto in complying with pedestrian safety rules that took effect in 2020.
Riding ergonomics
There are three versions of the Maruti Alto. From the LXi variation onwards, air conditioning, power steering, and front power windows are standard; the top VXi variant adds central locking and keyless entry, as well as a SmartPlay Dock 2-DIN audio player in higher trims that supports Bluetooth, USB, and AUX, as well as AM/FM radio.
Engine and power
The 2019 Alto is powered by the same three-cylinder 796cc F8D petrol engine as the previous model, which is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. The car's engine and transmission remain unchanged, with the exception of some software adjustments to the ECU. The 2019 Alto, on the other hand, sees big improvements to its exhaust system, with a new unit replacing the previous one and assisting the car in meeting the tough BS-VI pollution standards. The power and torque figures are the same as the previous BS-IV model, at 48hp and 69Nm.
Safety Features
ABS with EBD, a speed alert system, and smart reverse parking sensors are all standard safety features on the new Alto. Furthermore, for increased safety, dual front airbags, reverse parking sensors, a speed alert system, and seat belt reminders for both the driver and co-driver are there on the Alto 'VXI +'....Read MoreRead Less
