In February 2012, I purchased a Maruti Alto 800 in Granite Grey. While the car looks nice when clean, its 0.8L petrol engine delivers modest power at 40.3bhp and 60Nm of torque. Despite the seemingly low figures, the car's performance is average. The interior quality is decent with fabric cladding, grey leather upholstery, and acceptable hard plastics. My variant is LXI, equipped with 12-inch steel wheels and a basic digital instrument system. The front seats offer comfort, but the rear is cramped for three, with low seats and tiny headrests. Safety features are lacking, with no ABS, EBD, reverse parking cameras, or seat belt pretensioners. The build quality is notably poor, with easy denting in the C-pillars. The boot space is decent at 177 liters, expandable by folding the rear seats.

I bought the maruti alto 800 in february 2012.The color is granite grey, And the car looks pretty nice when properly cleaned.Under the good is a 0.8l petrol engine which churns out 40.3bhp and 60 nm of torque.The power figures might be very astonishingly low, But the performance of the car is average.The quality levels of the car is also decent.Inside the door gets fabric claddings and nice grey leather upholstery.There are very much hard plastics, But they still are of a decent quality.The variant is lxi, The mid variant, And things which i get are 12 inch steel wheels with silver wheel caps, Yes that's a very small size.Has a standard normal digital instrument system, Analog speedometer with a digital display that shows time, Fuel to empty, And distance.Front seats are quite comfortable, No adjustable headrests of course, And under thigh support is quite decent enough.At the rear however, Three people cannot sit comfortably as there is a very huge h**p in the center, And the seats are very low, With very small, In fact tiny headrests which provide no whiplash support in case of a crash.The boot space is also quite decent, 177 litres, Which can be increased by lowering both the rear seats down.Talking about the safety, There is nothing.No abs, No ebd, No reverse parking cameras, No seat belt pretensioners, Nothing.Even the build quality is very poor, The c pillars easily dent inside if you press them with a thumb.

Maruti Alto Pros and Cons
Alto Positives Points: Now all variants have dual airbags as an option. Future ready BS6 compliant engine. You just can't beat the Maruti service network.
Alto Negatives Points: Still no touchscreen infotainment system. No AMT option. Base variant misses essentials like power steering and air conditioning.
Zigwheels Expert's Conclusion : Kudos to Maruti for now including safety features like dual airbags and ABS throughout the range. The BS6 compliant engine is an added bonus and we're sure the slight drop in efficiency won't hurt too much. All these updates keep it one of the easiest picks in the entry level segment.
