Maruti Suzuki India Limited is planning to launch a new Maruti Alto with K-series engine after the new refurbished Wagon R. MSIL “The existing model needs a facelift as it has been there for quite a while,” that is already stated by Chairman. Last month, Maruti had launched the BS-IV compliant Maruti Alto model with 800cc engine. Alto is already the highest selling car in the country that sells at least 20,000 units every month. In India, Alto is already the highest selling car, it sells at least 20,000 units every month. Since it was first launched in 2000, MSIL has already sold more than 13.5 lakh units of the model in India. Any timeline for the launch of new Alto with bigger engine is not given by MSIL Chairman, RC Bhargava. To give any details about the refurbished Alto being launched, he also declined but said, “it will be costlier than the existing model which is currently priced between Rs. 2.29 lakh and Rs. 2.8 lakh.”
One of the largest car maker of India, Maruti Suzuki is planning to start a new version of its small car Alto, which is the highest selling model in India, with a bigger engine. “The company plans to launch the new Alto with a one-liter petrol engine from its latest generation of engine, the K –series,” according to industry sources. R C Bhargava, Chairman of Maruti Suzuki India, said, "Alto needs a face-lift. It has been there for quite a while." When a refreshed Alto would be started and what kind of engine would be fitted on the new version He, however, declined to comment. MSI had introduced BS IV compliant Alto on the existing 800cc F Series engine last month. “The company has decided to equip the Alto with a 1000 cc K series engine,” according to sources.
A source said, "With a bigger K-series engine, the new Alto will obviously be costlier than the existing Alto, and the existing Alto is priced between Rs 2.29 lakh and Rs 2.8 lakh.” Strategy of MSI is to equip Alto with the latest generation K series engine. Two variants of the K series engines – 998cc three-cylinder, 'K10B' are offered by Maruti Suzuki. These variants are fitted in A-star, Estilo, and the new WagonR and a 1.2-litre, four-cylinder 'K12M' petrol engine powering Ritz, Swift and Swift Dzire.
