Maruti to launch Alto with 1-ltr K series engine
Country's largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki India is planning to launch a new version of its small car Alto, the highest selling model in India, with a bigger engine.
According to industry sources, the company plans to launch the new Alto with a one-litre petrol engine from its latest generation of engine, the K -series.
When contacted, Maruti Suzuki India Chairman R C Bhargava said, "Alto needs a face-lift. It has been there for quite a while."
He, however, declined to comment when a refreshed Alto would be launched and what kind of engine would be fitted on the new version.
Last month, MSI had introduced BS IV compliant Alto on the existing 800cc F Series engine.
Sources said the company has decided to equip the Alto with a 1000 cc K series engine.
"With a bigger K-series engine, the new Alto will obviously be costlier than the existing Alto," a source said.
