Maruti Alto 800, K10 MS Dhoni special edition launched

Maruti Suzuki has launched 'MS Dhoni inspired' special editions of the Alto hatchback. Both - the Alto 800 and the Alto K10 have received the treatment. The Alto 800 MS Dhoni edition is available only in the LXi trim, while the K10 gets it in both - LXi and VXi trims. The special edition models get cosmetic and functional feature additions, and hence, come at a premium of Rs. 16,777 and Rs. 12,777 over the regular Alto 800 and the Alto K10 respectively.

Added features on the MS Dhoni Alto special edition include the cricketer's signature decal and new body graphics, reverse parking sensors with bar graph display, and new seat covers with the number '7' etched on them. 7 is considered to be Dhoni's lucky number, and is also his Jersey number. The special edition also gets a steering cover, carpet mat, roof-mounted rear spoiler, door sill guard, and ambient lighting. The Alto 800 LXi has additionally been given a 1-DIN MP3 system with USB and AUX connectivity.

The interiors of the special edition Altos can be opted for in two dual-tone colours - black & silver, and red & blue. Owners will also be given an MS Dhoni inspired merchandise kit with every car. No mechanical changes have been made to the Alto 800 as well as the Alto K10.

The special editions models are available in all Maruti Suzuki dealerships from the first week of October.
