What's the story

Maruti Suzuki will launch the next-generation version of its Alto hatchback in India in the first half of next year. Now, a heavily camouflaged test mule of the upcoming car has been spied. The picture suggests that its silhouette will be identical to the current model. It should have a feature-loaded cabin and might run on a 0.8-liter petrol engine. Here are more details.

Exteriors

The car will have a sculpted hood and 12-inch wheels

The new Maruti Suzuki Alto is likely to have a sculpted bonnet, a minimalist black grille, a large air dam with triangular vents, and swept-back adjustable headlights. It should be flanked by body-colored B-pillars, ORVMs, and 12-inch wheels. Vertically positioned taillights will grace the rear end of the vehicle. Dimensions-wise, it should have a wheelbase of 2,360mm and a ground clearance of 160mm.

Information

It will be fueled by a 0.8-liter petrol engine

The Maruti Suzuki Alto will reportedly run on a BS6-compliant 0.8-liter petrol engine available in two tunes: 47.34hp/69Nm and 40.43hp/60Nm. The mill should be linked to a 5-speed manual or an AMT option. A more powerful 1.0-liter petrol mill might also be available.

Interiors

It will get five seats and two airbags

The upcoming Maruti Suzuki Alto will have a 5-seater cabin, featuring fabric upholstery, a power steering wheel, auto climate control, key-less entry, and front power windows. It should house a MID and a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with support for the latest connectivity options. The safety of the passengers will be ensured by two airbags, ABS with EBD, crash sensors.
