The impending all-new Maruti Alto, supported by the modular Heartect architecture, is anticipated to come with two engine options.
After approximately ten years after presenting the current iteration in India, Maruti Suzuki India is anticipated to introduce the following-generation Alto. A new 1.0L DualJet K10C petrol engine and a smaller 796 cc petrol engine are anticipated to be the two powertrain options for the 2019 Alto, which won't be in dealerships until around mid-August. Here are all the specifics we currently know about this brand-new, reasonably priced hatchback from Maruti in India.
To begin with, the new Maruti Alto will now ride on the new modular Heartect platform, which is also used by other Maruti vehicles in India, including the new Celerio, WagonR, S-Presso, and other Maruti vehicles. The Indian automaker is furthermore anticipated to release the new K10 1.0L DualJet petrol engine with Alto.
Engine and specification
The highest power production of this engine is 67 hp, while the maximum torque output is 89 Nm. Only the higher-end models of the car will have this engine, which will only be paired with a five-speed manual or an AMT transmission. The same 796 cc petrol engine with 48 horsepower and 69 Nm will still be available in the lower-spec models.
On some models, customers may also have the option of choosing the more economical and fuel-efficient CNG powertrain. According to rumors, Maruti will provide Start/Stop technology with Alto to help with greater fuel efficiency.
When the automobile comes to a complete stop, the Start/Stop system turns off the engine and uses a separate battery to power the electrical components like the AC fan and infotainment system. As a result, the overall fuel efficiency is significantly increased. However, consumers do have the option to turn this technology off as needed.
Exterior design:
A new external design, a renovated cabin, new amenities, and a roomier and more pleasant cabin are other upgrades. A touchscreen infotainment system, electrically powered ORVMs, power windows, etc. are some of the new amenities.
