Maruti Suzuki Alto 800 Sales

The Maruti Alto 800 has to be among the most successful cars from Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. in recent times. The Alto 800, which is MSIL’s A segment contender and has been selling in great numbers, commands a huge waiting period and has made life tough for its immediate rivals- the Chevrolet Spark and the Hyundai Eon. The recent to have emerged on the sales performance of the Alto 800 is that the leading Indian can manufacturer has managed to sell over 1 lakhs units of Alto 800 in just 124 days since the car has been launched.

The Alto 800 is a comprehensively updated version of the earlier Alto and has been clocking even better nos. on the sales chart than the last generation car. The Alto 800 builds up on the strengths of the earlier Alto and comes with a highly fuel efficient engine, low maintenance costs and reasonable space for a family of four. The only thing that might make the Alto 800 an even better package is a diesel engine.

The car does have an exterior styling that might not appeal to some but insipid exteriors notwithstanding, the Alto 800 has everything required to woo the small car buyer.

The Alto 800 is now ready to enter the Nepal car market and will be imported into Nepal by CG Automobiles.
