Not for nothing is Maruti Suzuki called the king of small cars. Seldom has ever a new small car from Maruti Suzuki failed to leave a mark on the highly competitive small car segment.

As if this is not enough, Maruti Suzuki recently made a national record of sorts when another Kerela based car dealer delivered 200 new Maruti Alto 800 cars in a single day. All the 200 cars that were delivered were booked some time before the car was formally introduced to the Indian car market.
