Maruti Suzuki has relaunched the Alto 800 in India, targeting budget-conscious buyers with a refreshed design, strong fuel efficiency, and an attractive starting price of ₹3.5 lakh (ex-showroom). Known for its compact size, reliability, and low running costs, the updated Alto 800 is positioned as an ideal option for first-time car buyers and small families.
Compact and Practical Design
The new Alto 800 continues to offer compact proportions, making it well-suited for crowded city roads and narrow lanes. Updates include a redesigned front grille, sharper headlamps, and a sportier bumper. While compact on the outside, it maintains seating for four to five passengers and provides enough boot space for groceries or short trips.
Price and EMI Options
Priced at ₹3.5 lakh, the Alto 800 is among the most affordable cars in India. Maruti Suzuki is also offering attractive financing options, with EMIs starting from ₹6,500 per month and a down payment of ₹50,000 to ₹60,000. This makes car ownership more accessible for middle-class households and students.
Engine and Fuel Efficiency
Powered by a refined 796cc petrol engine, the Alto 800 delivers a claimed mileage of 22 to 24 kilometers per liter. The lightweight build and efficient engine make it an excellent choice for daily commutes, helping drivers save on fuel costs over time.
Interior Features
Inside, the hatchback includes basic comfort and convenience features:
- Manual air conditioning
- Power steering
- Digital instrument display on select variants
- Optional infotainment system with Bluetooth and USB support
The interior layout remains simple and practical, focusing on functionality and ease of use.
Safety Features
Safety is supported by a driver-side airbag, seatbelt reminder, front seatbelt pre-tensioners, and a strong body structure. While the Alto 800 is not designed as a high-end safety vehicle, it meets the essential safety requirements for its segment.
Final Thoughts
With its proven reliability, low maintenance costs, and affordable pricing, the Maruti Alto 800 continues to be a strong contender in the entry-level car market. The 2025 update enhances its appeal without increasing costs, making it a smart buy for those seeking a value-for-money city car.
