JAMMU, Oct 17: Peaks Auto today unveiled best seller Alto in an all new form ‘Alto 800’ at its showroom here today. New Alto 800 sports a fresh look, is roomier, is over 15 per cent more fuel-efficient and is even better geared for city conditions.
The vehicle was unveiled by OP Sharma, President, J&K Bank in presence of Arvind Gupta, Vice President, J&K Bank, Malik Tahir, Deputy Director, State Motor Garages, JD Singh, General Manager, Peaks Auto and Branch Heads of JCC Bank, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, SBI, CBI, and Axis Bank.
JD Singh while speaking said that the all-new Alto 800 would be available in 3 Petrol variants, with 22.74 kmpl fuel efficiency. Major factors which have helped increase the fuel efficiency are increased compression ratio and improved volumetric efficiency, Singh said, adding, that these are achieved through significant improvements in engine intake systems.
“Maruti Suzuki along with its vendors have invested over Rs 470 Crore towards developing the Alto 800”, he added.
At the launch, Shinzo Nakanishi, Managing Director and CEO, Maruti Suzuki India said that new Alto 800 comes with a characteristic Wavefront design, which goes perfectly with an entry level car that enjoys wide appeal. With enhanced head-room, shoulder room and utility space the new Alto 800 comes across as a roomier model. In addition, with the scooped out back of the front seat, the rear leg-room is enhanced by over 15 mm.
A refined engine that delivers a torque of 69Nm, improved by 11 per cent, will prove valuable for city driving which, requires better pick-up and frequent gear changes. The suspension of the Alto 800 has been better tuned for optimum performance on Indian roads.
