Maruti Suzuki is all set to launch the new-generation Alto 800 in India. The car has been spied on multiple occasions and is expected to be launched in the next few months. The new Alto 800 will get a major makeover both inside and out and is likely to come with a host of new features.

The new Alto 800 is expected to be based on the Heartect platform, which also underpins the new Celerio. This platform is lighter and more rigid than the previous-generation platform, which should result in better fuel efficiency and handling. The new Alto 800 is also expected to be larger than the current-generation model, which should offer more space for passengers and luggage.

In terms of design, the new Alto 800 is expected to get a more modern and stylish look. The car is likely to feature a new grille, headlamps, and taillights. The interior of the car is also expected to be updated with a new dashboard, steering wheel, and upholstery.

The new Alto 800 is likely to be powered by the same 0.8-liter petrol engine that powers the current-generation model. However, the engine is expected to be updated to meet the latest emission norms. The car is also likely to come with a CNG variant. The new Alto 800 is likely to be priced between Rs. 3 lakh and Rs. 5 lakh (ex-showroom). When launched, the new Alto 800 will take on the likes of the Renault Kwid, Datsun redi-GO, and Hyundai Santro.
