Maruti Alto 800– low price and new features to make it an instant hit

The Maruti Alto 800 launch has yet again proved that it is Maruti India that understands the needs of the Indian car buyer and nobody else. The reason behind this is that the Alto 800 price of Rs 2.44 lakh is incredibly low and is almost the same as that of the existing Maruti Alto car. However, the new Alto is far more improved in terms of looks and features as well as comfort than its predecessor. There are though a lot of similarities between the two Alto cars. Feature such as optional airbag is a worth addition. Also the availability of CNG model and that too with over 30 kmpl mileage is the most striking thing when the petrol prices are soon to break the barrier of Rs 80 per litre.

Maruti Alto has been the bestselling car for Maruti after the Maruti 800 lost its entry in metros. Now that the Alto 800 is here it will help Maruti gain volumes and it is expected that there will be the same craze for this car as that was for the Maruti 800 or the Maruti Alto. Look wise, the Alto 800 is far better than its predecessor and the car maker has offered a lot of features that are going to woo the car buyers in India.

It is expected that the features and specifications of the Alto 800 will be able to help this car get good sales despite of the demand for diesel powered cars in India. The Alto 800 mileage of 22.74 kmpl is exceptional and is second best in the industry after Tata Nano that returns 25 kmpl. Also features such as more headroom, legroom inside for the second row as well as brown and grey interiors besides chrome accents will certainly take the new Alto forward.
