New Maruti Alto 800 Launched at ₹1 Lakh, Stunning Look, 40KM/L Mileage

The buzz around the New Maruti Alto 800 has caught everyone’s attention. Several online reports and social media posts are claiming that Maruti Suzuki has launched the Alto 800 once again at a jaw-dropping price of just ₹1 Lakh with an unbelievable mileage of 40 km/l. But is it really true? Let’s break down what’s fact and what’s fiction.

Design & Looks

The viral images and posts suggest a completely refreshed New Maruti Alto 800 with a modern, stylish design. According to these reports, the car is said to get sharper headlights, a new grille, and a more premium hatchback profile compared to the old Alto 800. If true, this would make it look much more attractive in the entry-level segment.

Engine & Mileage

This is where the claims get more surprising. Reports state that the New Maruti Alto 800 offers a petrol engine capable of delivering 40 km/l mileage. To put this in perspective, the old Alto 800 had an ARAI-certified mileage of 22.05 km/l for petrol and 31.59 km/kg for the CNG variant. A 40 km/l figure would easily make it the most fuel-efficient car in India, but there is no official confirmation yet.

Interior Features

According to circulating news, the New Maruti Alto 800 is expected to get a more spacious cabin with added comfort. Some claims even suggest features like a touchscreen infotainment system, dual-tone dashboard and enhanced storage options. If these make it to production, the Alto 800 would feel more premium than ever before in this price range.

Safety

Safety is another area where buyers are curious. The viral reports mention dual airbags, ABS with EBD and rear parking sensors as part of the package. These are basic but important features that make sense even in an entry-level hatchback.

Price

Perhaps the biggest talking point is the price. According to the news going around, the New Maruti Alto 800 is being offered at only ₹1 Lakh. This figure seems extremely unlikely given that the last official price of the discontinued model was between ₹3.54 Lakh and ₹5.13 Lakh (ex-showroom). Even with the most aggressive pricing, a ₹1 Lakh tag feels unrealistic in today’s market.

Final Word

The idea of a New Maruti Alto 800 priced at ₹1 Lakh with 40 km/l mileage is exciting, but there is no official statement from Maruti Suzuki to back these claims. As of now, the Alto K10 remains the brand’s entry-level hatchback. Until an official announcement comes, buyers should take these reports with caution.
