The re-launch of the iconic Alto 800 was done by Maruti Suzuki for 2025 at a base price of just ₹2.28 lakh (ex-showroom). Known as India’s cheapest and reliable family car, the Alto 800 makes a comeback with a few aesthetic changes, updated features, and better fuel efficiency. The new Alto, targeted at first-time car buyers, aims to retain its stature as the most trusted entry-level hatchback in the country.
New Body and Styling
The 2025 Maruti Alto 800, with its very subtle changes here and there, looks contemporary but still maintains that compact and useful appeal. The new front grille, redesigned headlamps, and reworked bumper design lend it cleaner looks and downright contemporary styling. Being on the smaller side, the Alto 800’s design straddles the thin line between being basic and new-age; it fits very comfortably on Indian roads, comprising narrow lanes in most small towns and cities.
Comfortable Cabin and Useful Features
Inside, Maruti has made considerable upgrades to enhance comfort and utility-the dual-tone interior giving that extra premium feel and the redesigned dashboard with digital instrument cluster and modern infotainment system with Bluetooth connectivity in higher variants. The seats have been re-engineered for enhanced cushioning, with sufficient legroom and headroom for a small family. Practical storage spaces and easy-to-use controls make the Alto 800 an occupational option for everyday companionship.
An Efficient Engine with Great Mileage
Under the hood, power still flows from the tried and tested 796cc petrol engine, churning out approximately 48 PS of power and 69 Nm of torque. It is matched with a 5-speed manual gearbox that provides smooth gear changes as well as decent reliability on performance. Maruti touts a mileage of 24.7 km/l, claiming it among the most fuel-efficient vehicles in its segment. CNG variant further hikes this mileage and cuts may running costs.
Perfect Car for Everyday India
The 2025 Maruti Alto 800 is the perfect blend of affordability, reliability, and functionality. Given its bargain price, recent facelifts, and fuel efficiency; the Alto 800 remains the most affordable car in India for small families, and that is what first-time buyers opt for.
