India’s largest car maker Maruti Suzuki is on a mission to refine its largest selling small car Alto. The company is aiming to make it cheaper still thereby attaining a total of 20K units per month. This strategy is to meet the outstanding competition in small cars at the same time to regain the free flow of the phased out Maruti 800. The Chairman of Maruti indicated that the company will take all its might to make this new Alto affordable by common customers.
With no major changes in design of the car, the new Alto will hit the showrooms in a couple of months, he added. The car will not undergo any changes as in the case of Wagon R and other ranges. Wagon R is to undergo tremendous changes, as the company has invested Rs290 crore, for upgrading its hatchback on a new platform, said the company’s EO. The refined Wagon R will be fitted with K 10B engine meeting the BH IV emission norms and be delivered from Gurgaon facility.
