2009 Maruti Suzuki Alto, launch in Diwali
Two official pictures of the Suzuki A-star (known as the new Alto) has been released. The new Alto will make its debut at the Paris Motor Show in the month of October. The new Alto, though called by its name will sell alongside the current alto, like how the current Alto and the previous Alto (M800) is doing.
This cute, funky little car is set for launch during the festive season. The car is priced competitively at 3-4Lakh Rupees. The A-star will come with the latest engine series, that is the K-series 1.0L engine, also the 1.2L engine. The 1.2L engine will be used to take on the Hyundai i10.
As said earlier, the Alto will be made in India first before getting exported to other countries. Nissan has also signed a deal with Suzuki, that will produce a car from this platform for Nissan.
