This is the best car available for first-time buyers in India, offering an incredible value package. The new-age hatchback brings forth very subtle but consequential upgrades to elevate its appeal without compromising its affordability. With its supremely compact dimensions, frugal engine, and Maruti legendary reliability, the new Alto 800 is definitely the perfect metropolitan run-about for the price-conscious Indian family.
Refreshed Design With Contemporary Touches
The Alto 800 gets renewed front shoulders with redesigned grille lines and new headlamp clusters. Body-colored bumpers and wheel covers add a sophisticated touch but the jolly palette retains its designer youth touch. Its dimensions of just 3.4 meters in length make it extremely easy to navigate through tight city traffic and above all find parking in small spaces.
Practical Cabin With Essential Features
On the inside, Alto 800 provides a very simple but cleverly designed interior, which is designed for use daily. Compared to legacy Alto models, the updated dashboard layout gears up for better ergonomics and materials quality. Maruti has kept everything very inexpensive yet quite nice with things such as new infotainment and Bluetooth-powered connectivity, power windows, and better seating position. Boot space at 177 liters is surprisingly usable for a small family or weekend grocery runs.
Efficient Performance For City Driving
The Alto 800 is powered by a tried and tested 796cc petrol three-cylinder engine which pushes forth 48PS of power and 69Nm torque. The engine has been tuned for fuel economy and bears a very generous 28.05 kmpl under test conditions. The light steering of Alto comes with an impressive turning radius making it easy to drive within the cities. The high-efficiency 5-speed manual sounds great with smooth gear shifts, while an optional version of AMT has been given to further increase driving convenience from start-stop traffic.
Enhanced Safety For Peace Of Mind
The new Alto 800 adds driver airbag as a standard across all its variants, plus many improved safety features. The higher trims have added co-passenger airbag, ABS with EBD, and rear parking sensors. While basic by segment standards, these improvements show Maruti’s commitment to meeting evolving safety norms while keeping the car affordable. The rigid body structure has been strengthened to offer better crash protection.
Unmatched Value Proposition
Alto 800 costs from ₹3.54 to within ₹5.13 lakhs (ex-showroom), thus continuing to remain the least expensive new car in India. Costs of maintenance are very low, and with exemplary fuel economies and overall productivity by a service network that is at the hands of Maruti, it promises to deliver convenience owning it for any budget-conscious buyer.
