India’s new matchbox: Maruti-Suzuki unveils the all-new Alto 800

I actually like the looks of the current car better. The rear end looks iffy.

They look nice and better at the Indian sites. This car is primarily designed for city driving like the Eon, having optimized low- end-torque for agility, low FC, and small body. For combined h-way motoring with drives to long and highly inclined roads, I think Alto k10 or Mits Mirage will give better performance and durability. The engine bay of Alto k10 is also roomier with the radiator being easily accessible for easy cleaning and maintenance.

I was looking at the engine bays of Eon and Mirage, they are cramped, I am wondering how am I going to wash thoroughly the dust, grimes, or other filths from the radiator and hind portion of the engine.

What you’ll like:

• A much improved Alto at the same price point
• F8D engine has excellent driveability & fuel economy. Neat gearshift too
• Comfortable ride quality. Soft suspension is absorbent
• Convenient city car: Light, agile & easy to drive
• Effective air-conditioner
• Driver-side airbag & factory fitted CNG kit available
• Maruti's excellent after-sales service & fuss free ownership experience

What you won’t:

• Cramped rear bench. Also, the seatback is very short
• Thin, budget seats offer basic levels of support
• CNG kit for base variant costs a hefty Rs. 75,000 (LXi's CNG kit is a realistic Rs. 57,000)
• Mediocre expressway competence. Best driven <100 kph
• Puny 145 mm tyres. An upgrade is highly recommended
• Lacks the design appeal of the Hyundai Eon
