The Maruti Alto 800 has always been India’s favorite budget car. The 2025 model continues this legacy with a refreshed design, upgraded safety, and impressive mileage. Affordable yet modern, it is ideal for small families, first-time buyers, and city commuters.

Design & Exterior

The Maruti Alto 800 comes with a smarter, more youthful design. A reworked front grille, sleeker headlights, and sharper bumpers make it look fresher than ever. Its compact size and lightweight build keep it easy to drive in crowded city streets and narrow lanes. New colors like Phoenix Orange and Uptown Red add more appeal to this small car.

Interior & Features

Inside, Maruti Alto 800 has kept the cabin simple yet functional. The dual-tone dashboard, improved fabric seats, and practical storage spaces make it comfortable for everyday drives. Higher trims now include a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, steering-mounted controls, and USB charging ports. Front power windows and manual AC ensure convenience, while the 177-liter boot space is enough for small family trips.

Engine & Mileage

The Maruti Alto 800 uses a 796cc, 3-cylinder petrol engine producing 48 PS power and 69 Nm torque, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. It is tuned for smooth city performance and efficiency.

When it comes to mileage, it continues to be unbeatable:

• Petrol variant: 22–25 kmpl (ARAI certified)
• CNG variant: 31–33 km/kg, with some reports of up to 38 km/kg under ideal conditions

Safety

Maruti Alto 800 has made safety a priority in this update. The car now gets dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, seatbelt reminders, and reverse parking sensors as standard. The body structure is reinforced to meet crash safety norms. Some variants are also expected to benefit from Maruti’s “Safety Shield” program, which adds features like six airbags and ESP in the future.

Price & EMI Options

The 2025 Maruti Alto 800 is priced between ₹3.54 lakh and ₹5.25 lakh (ex-showroom). With a down payment of around ₹30,000, EMI options start from about ₹6,000–10,000 per month depending on the loan plan. Considering its low maintenance and excellent mileage, it remains one of the most cost-effective cars in India.
