Maruti Suzuki today launched the much hyped small car ‘Alto
800’ in New Delhi. The Alto 800 prices starts from Rs. 2.44 lakh for STD
variant going up to Rs. 3,56,000/- for LXI CNG variant (all prices ex-showroom,
New Delhi). The Alto 800 will not replace the existing Alto and Alto K10,
instead will sell along with them. The Alto 800 indeed replaces the Maruti 800
which has been a highly successful car in automotive history.
Maruti has worked on the engine for the new Alto 800 to give
better fuel efficiency, torque and power. The car is 15 mm wider and taller than
the Alto, as a result of which headroom and legroom is quiet good now. However
the car’s length has been reduced by 20mm because of better engine packaging.
The suspension has been tweaked for a better ride.
Other than that, there are no changes to Alto 800 on paper.
The ground clearance is 160 mm, as of the Alto and so do the engine capacity
which is 3 cylinder 796 cc. The einge is coupled to the same Alto’s 5 speed
gearbox. The car returns fuel efficiency of 22.74 Kmpl for petrol and 30.46 Km
per Kg of CNG (ARAI figures).
