New Refreshed BS-IV Compliant Alto

Finally Marui Suzuki refreshed their Mass selling warhorse- Alto to meet the BS-IV emission norms.
Earlier there was so much rumours about Alto's getting the 1.0l, 3-cylinder K-Series engine from A-Star. but due to Cost-Sensitive car & segment in which it fits, Maruti decided to upgrade its Old 796cc, 3-cylinder F-series to meet the BS-IV norms & they acheived it by Tweaking its Ignition System- Distributor-less now from the Old-Distbributor type.


Maruti Suzuki has also mildly played with its Body & Features too to keep its costs under the check. Front is kept the Same but other Body & Features Changes Includes:




On EXTERIORS;
-New Refreshed Tail-lamp design, with Indicator element finished in Orange shade now(from the earlier Transparent-Orange bulb one).
-Sticker logos for Name at Rear(Gone are the earlier Elegant looking Chrome ones).
-Chrome Suzuki's S-logo above the Tail-Gate lock.
-New Wheel-Rim design.
-New Tubeless tyres.
-0-100kmph in 17.7 secs.







In INTERIORS;
-New Instrument Console with Digital Fuel-Gauge.
-Shrunken Temprature Gauge(From Analogue Gauge to mere LED-Blinikg light now).
-Silver Coloured Centre Console(now missing is the Stereo mounting frame now).
-Basic-Finished & looking Handbrake lever(very M800 like).
-New Seat Fabric design.
-New design Front Seats with fixed Head-Restraints(but seat-backs are made much thinner now, very much like Tata Nano, all for Cost-cutting).

But with now better & Improved FE figures of 19.73kmpl by ARAI & at Same Old-Starting Price of 2.35 lacs, it still comes alot in that Entry level package.
