Maruti has made a big move by discontinuing the Alto 800 and launching a new car in the market with a mileage of 35 kmpl and a very low price. The Maruti Alto 800, one of India’s most successful cars, has not only been affordable but also known for its excellent fuel efficiency, making it a priority for small and middle-class families. Priced at just Rs 2.69 lakh, this car has been a successful model for Maruti, with its 796cc petrol engine delivering an average mileage of 22 kilometers per liter. The car has also provided a mileage of up to 25 kilometers per liter on highways and long-distance journeys. However, due to the changed emission norms by the Indian government, Maruti will discontinue production of the Alto 800 after March 2023. The car will only be available in showrooms under existing stocks. The on-road price of the Maruti Alto 800 varies in different states and cities, but it generally starts at around Rs 3.1 lakh. To replace the Alto 800, Maruti has strategized the launch of the Alto K10, which will have a mileage of 22-25 kilometers per liter on a petrol engine while offering factory-fitted CNG kit as an option, providing a mileage of 35 kilometers per kilogram of CNG. The price of the Alto K10 will range from Rs 3.5 lakh to Rs 5 lakh.
