New Maruti Alto 800 Returns With Fresh Design, Better Mileage, and Smart Features

Maruti Suzuki has officially brought back the New Maruti Alto 800 in a brand-new avatar for 2025, blending affordability with thoughtful upgrades. The new model aims to retain its identity as India’s most trusted entry-level car while offering a contemporary design, better fuel efficiency, and essential tech features. With rising demand for budget-friendly cars, this refreshed Alto 800 is expected to dominate the entry-level segment once again.

Compact Design That’s Stylish Yet Practical

The new Alto 800 now looks more mature and dynamic with a bolder grille, sharp headlamps, redesigned bumpers, and new color options. Despite its compact dimensions, the updated body proportions provide a roomier feel inside the cabin. The rear end features refreshed tail lamps and a cleaner design that enhances its road presence. Maruti has maintained its easy-to-drive character, making it ideal for narrow city lanes and tight parking spots.

Efficient Engine With Excellent Mileage

Powering the car is the 799cc BS6-compliant petrol engine, refined for smoother performance and improved fuel economy. It produces around 48 PS of power and 69 Nm of torque, ideal for everyday city commuting. The car offers a claimed mileage of 24.7 km/l, making it one of the most fuel-efficient petrol cars in its category. A CNG variant is also expected soon, further increasing its appeal among mileage-conscious buyers.

Simple Yet Useful Features Inside

The interior of the new Alto 800 features a revised dashboard with a dual-tone finish, digital speedometer, power windows, central locking, and front power outlets. Higher variants now come with a 7-inch SmartPlay touchscreen infotainment system that supports Bluetooth, USB, and AUX. While it stays basic, the layout is neat and practical, with ample headroom and comfortable front seats for short drives.

Safety Enhancements for Entry-Level Buyers

Maruti has equipped the new Alto 800 with dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, reverse parking sensors, and seat belt reminders. Built on the Heartect platform, the car meets current crash test norms and offers better structural rigidity compared to its predecessor. These updates make the car safer without affecting its low cost of ownership.

Price and Variants in India

The New Maruti Alto 800 2025 starts at ₹3.69 lakh (ex-showroom) and goes up to ₹5.13 lakh for the top variant. It’s available in STD, LXI, VXI, and VXI+ trims, giving buyers multiple options based on their budget. With minimal maintenance costs and excellent mileage, it continues to be an ideal choice for first-time buyers, small families, and those looking for a reliable second car.

India’s Favorite Hatchback Just Got Smarter

With its updated styling, efficient engine, essential features, and budget-friendly pricing, the new Maruti Alto 800 proves once again why it’s been a household name for decades.
