Maruti has bestowed Alto 800 with a new futuristic design, which no doubt proves it to be one step ahead from its previous version. The car has been designed on the very same platform as its previous version, but the monocoque’s quality has been improved, which proves this car to be a strong and agile version as compared to Alto.
The looks and style of the car are contemporary but still look a bit outdated if parked next to Hyundai Eon, Hyundai Santro and Chevrolet Spark. The front fascia of the car is marked by a twin grille and a pair of bulging headlights that smartly carry the turn indicators within them. The fog lights remain out of scene and clearly seem a loophole in the cost-cutting strategy of Maruti Suzuki. The box-shaped front part closely reminds you of Ford Figo. The side profile of the car is marked by an elegant shoulder-crease line that runs from the front end to the rear end and a pair of 12-inch well-sculpted twin rims that house 145/80 R12 tyres. The rear section of the car looks updated with a large windscreen underlined by a slightly bulging centre hump that carries a Suzuki logo and keyhole.
Maruti Suzuki has done a good job with respect to Alto 800. The newer
version seems a completely advanced form of the original Alto. The
increased dimensions allow more space and comfort, and make the car look
more spacious and airy as compared to its predecessor. To make the
offer better, Maruti offers Alto 800 in two tones: grey and brown. The
quality of plastics used for dashboard and doors is average, and well
explains the cost-saving strategy of the domestic maker. The dashboard
of the car looks contemporary with a little more touch of chrome and new
instrument panels. The steering wheel and gear shift look better while
the accelerator pedal, armrests and door pockets look cheap and below
standard. The AC seems borrowed from the old Alto. The power switches
and plastic inserts in pillars give a standard look to the cabin, and
provide sufficient lateral and rear view.
