Maruti Alto is the family car of the middle class people of India. Maruti Alto was a big hit in the production history of Maruti Suzuki. When the Maruti Suzuki Company reported a great loss in the year 2000, it was Maruti Alto that gave an uplifting hand to Maruti Suzuki. If that had not happened, perhaps the company’s major share could have been sold away. So, Maruti Suzuki today praises the designers and engineers of Maruti Alto.

The middle class family who cannot afford for an expensive car and who feel shy to own a Maruti 800 can opt for Maruti Alto. The designing of Maruti Alto is like that of a luxury car. It is available in four variants Alto, Alto Lx, Alto Lxi and Alto Limited Edition. All these variants ensure a good mileage of 20km per litre which a middle class family expects.

The clear lens headlamp gives a clear vision at night with bright light. The sound at the time of closing its door is that of an upgraded car like Wagon R or Santro Xing where as Maruti 800’s is not that much pleasing.

We can only say that the seating comfort of the car is not bad. The good news of the seating is that they are fabric seats. The gear knob and steering wheel offer comfortable drive. The only negative aspect of it is that it has only a 796cc, FC 4 valve engine. It is also available in seven different colors.  Maruthi Alto prices are given below.

Since it gives a good mileage up to 20kms and even more to a few good drivers (up to 30 in mileage race), it the best car for middle class family. It is also best suit for taxis. The Maruti Alto also has another fault of not having disk brakes. Since it has only a 796cc engine the youth don’t enjoy driving it with sporty spirit. But the design of the body is best suit for a sporty car. Many youngsters do modify the car into a sporty vehicle.
