According to the spy image, the new Alto 800 gets a revised front bumper with a trapezoidal air dam and a redesigned black grille. The car comes with dual-tone interiors and gets the same dashboard and 3-spoke steering wheel from the Alto K10. The centre console houses a 2-DIN audio system.

The new Alto 800 is expected to be offered with the same 796cc, 3-cylinder petrol engine that makes 47 BHP @ 6,000 rpm and 69 Nm of torque @ 3,500 rpm. It is likely to be paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox.

Also, as per new safety regulations, the Alto 800 will be offered with ABS, driver side airbag, reverse parking sensors, speed alert system and front seat belt reminders as standard.

Looks yummy in red for sure. Pretty certain that the new Alto is destined to quickly rise to the throne!

fx45 · 22nd April 2019, 17:15

now the big question is, is this just a stop gap update or this new model is crash test compliant and will be sold post the August 2019 deadline?

self_driven · 22nd April 2019, 17:41

Unlikely to be a stop-gap measure as there are a lot of changes to this one, even in comparison to the tweaks made in 2015 (?) for a more important mid-life facelift.

Given this car's market demand, Maruti could have easily pulled it off for a few more months by adding only the mandatory features which is not the case.

Quite possible that the Alto will continue to be on sale with some changes to pass the crash tests and the Future S based micro-SUV will be introduced as an all-new product. Again, something that only Maruti can pull off!

I think the Future S will be the replacement for the Alto. But only in the long run.

Just like the Alto replaced the 800 gradually, the Future S will replace the Alto as people and safety regulations move with the times.

fz_rider · 22nd April 2019, 21:00

That's a lot of changes for a stop gap. Dashboard gets a make over. Front gets a makeover. All this for four months of sale, hardly think so. Alto is here to stay, with Future S getting a new name.

Future S aka Y1K would be a separate car on the lines of Ignis or Hustler ( micro SUV shape). My sources inform me a launch date near Dussehra.

Looks more like a Celerio to me. I think they are still using auto rickshaw tires on this one too.

Can someone enlighten me of the new crash safety norms. Does it only complies the use of dual airbags, rear parking sensors, ABS, speed alert etc. and optional stronger chassis, frontal impact protection etc.

Got to say, Maruti really knows how to really pull the strings of our hearts. This is just one of many such ads. Good to see ABS with EBD as standard and dual airbags as option on each and every variant. The interiors now look much more contemporary than before, much closer to Wagon-R IMO, than the Alto of 5 years ago.

What's also noteworthy is that all variants are now BS6 and I am seeing a price difference of around 20k across variants.

So there is only ~20K price increase for ABS+EBD, Airbag, Rear sensors, Updated structure for crash norms, AND updated Engine for BS VI ?!

WOW ! I'm impressed.

Why did Maruti made lot of noise on these aspects (BS-VI & Safety up-gradation) earlier ?

Side note : The Alto 800 facelift’s fuel efficiency figure is rated at 22.05kpl, which is notably lower than the BS-IV model’s 24.7kpl. But the engine still puts out the same 48hp and 69Nm as the pre-facelift model. Is this trend which we'll see in other cars as well ?
