The Maruti Suzuki Alto is a city car manufactured and marketed by Suzuki through its subsidiary Maruti Suzuki primarily for the Indian market since 2000. The first-generation model was essentially the Indian version of the fifth-generation Suzuki Alto kei car (with larger engine options). The second generation was made as a standalone model, which was built on the same platform as the first generation. The third-generation model is built on the same underpinnings as the S-Presso .

60-589: Since 2006, the Alto has been India's best-selling car and crossed the 1 million production figure in February 2008 becoming the third Maruti model to cross the million mark in India after Maruti 800 and Maruti Omni and fourth overall joining Hyundai Santro . As of 2024, the Alto is the only one car in India has ever sold over 5 million units. The first generation was launched to the local Indian market on 27 September 2000 although

120-556: A diesel engines are to be reduced by 70% and particulates by 80%. To achieve this, the engines need to be equipped with Euro-6 compliant technologies. The major technical changes to associated with this are: There is also no provision to make the CO 2 emissions labelling mandatory on cars in the country. A system exists in the EU to ensure that information relating to the fuel economy and CO 2 emissions of new passenger cars offered for sale or lease in

180-438: A new chrome fitted front grille, new swept back headlamps, and a redesigned bonnet line. There are also amendments for tail lights, restructuring of bumpers, 13-inch wheels, door mirrors, door moulding and some other minor modifications. Interiors too have been updated, with a new dashboard, three-spoke steering wheel, refined upholstery, black finished music system and a better looking instrument cluster. Other added features inside

240-778: A redesigned front end, with more sculpted headlights. This spelled the end for the F10-engined model, while the F8-engined Alto was replaced by the all-new Alto 800 in late 2012. The Alto K10 remained in production until 2014. This model, using the fuel injected 1061 cc F10D engine , entered the European market at the March 2002 Geneva Motor Show . Being built in India by Maruti, it was only available with five doors, unlike earlier Maruti Zen-based Altos in Europe. Unlike in India, European model Alto

300-413: Is 'BS' suffixed with the iteration of the stage of emission norms, similar to how European emissions standards are named. The initial BSI (BS1) standard was first introduced in mid 1999, with the second and third iteration first introduced in mid 2000 and 2005 named BSII (BS2) and BSIII (BS3), respectively . The fourth iteration BSIV or BS4 was introduced in 2017, and therefore the delay between

360-541: Is 650 kg (1,433 lb) and four passengers (including the driver) fit in. Maruti Suzuki had earlier launched a version with a twelve-valve version of the engine producing 45 bhp (34 kW; 46 PS), coupled with a five-speed manual transmission (currently found in the Suzuki Alto ) but discontinued it after a couple of years. The second generation Maruti Suzuki 800 that was produced from 1986–1997 underwent some changes in its appearance. The original grille that

Maruti Alto K10 rated 2 star for adults and 0 stars for toddlers in Global NCAP under its new protocol (based on Latin NCAP 2016) in 2023: Starting from August 2024, ESP was made standard on all trim levels. New Maruti Suzuki Alto 2024 Model Maruti 800 The Maruti Suzuki 800 is a city car that was manufactured by Maruti Suzuki in India from 1983 to 2014. The first generation (SS80)

480-555: Is called polluted area and maximum emission from a project should not exceed 100 t/day; and if SO x is less than 50 μg/m , it is called unpolluted area, but the SO x emission from a project should not exceed 500 t/day. The stipulation for NO x emission is that its emission should not exceed 260 g of NO x /GJ of heat input. In view of the above, it may be seen that improved environment norms are linked to financing and are being enforced by international financial institutions and not by

540-608: Is estimated to be the cause for 6,20,000 early deaths in 2010, and the health cost of air pollution in India has been assessed at 3% of its GDP . To regulate the pollution emitted by cars and two-wheelers, the Government of India has placed forth regulations known as Bharat Stage Emission Standards (BSES). The Central Government has mandated that every vehicle manufacturer, both two-wheels and four-wheels, ought to manufacture, sell and register solely BS6 (BSVI) vehicles from 1 April 2020. Both BSIV and BSVI area unit emission norms that set

600-463: Is given in Tables 15 and 16. The norm for 500 MW and above coal-based power plant being practised is 40 to 50 mg/N⋅m and space is provided in the plant layout for super thermal power stations for installation of flue gas desulfurisation (FGD) system. But FGD is not installed, as it is not required for low sulphur Indian coals while considering SO x emission from individual chimney. In addition to

660-466: Is not equipped with airbags, front seatbelts with pretensioner, ISOFIX or ABS. A new version of the Alto called the Alto 800 was released in the Indian car market on 16 October 2012. The Alto 800, model code AOD308, is still based on the previous generation's platform (which is still based on the 1998 Alto kei car ) and has all-new bodywork and interior. It replaced the first generation Maruti Alto (although

720-554: The Central Pollution Control Board under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change . The standards, based on European regulations were first introduced in 2000. Progressively stringent norms have been rolled out since then. All new vehicles manufactured after the implementation of the norms have to be compliant with the regulations. Since October 2010, Bharat Stage (BS) III norms have been enforced across

780-594: The ISO 8178 C1 (8-mode) and D2 (5-mode) test cycles. The Bharat Stage III standards must be met over the useful life periods shown in Table 11. Alternatively, manufacturers may use fixed emission deterioration factors of 1.1 for CO, 1.05 for HC, 1.05 for NO x , and 1.1 for PM. Emission standards for diesel agricultural tractors are summarised in Table 12. Emissions are tested over the ISO 8178 C1 (8-mode) cycle. For Bharat (Trem) Stage III A,

840-705: The Maruti Suzuki Alto took the title. It was also exported to a number of countries in South Asia including Nepal , Bangladesh and Sri Lanka and was also available in Morocco and selected European markets, often sold as the Suzuki Maruti. In an elaborate ceremony held in New Delhi on 14 December 1983, then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi handed over keys of the very first car to Mr. Harpal Singh S/O Haridas Singh, who won

900-985: The Netherlands in 1990, followed by England , Malta , and Italy . In markets where Japanese cars had a quota, the 800 was sold as a Maruti, with all mention of Suzuki carefully removed – even the manuals were revised, so as not to fall afoul of the quota requirements. The 800 continued to be sold in Italy and other Western European markets until 2004, when it could no longer be made to meet emissions and safety equipment. The Maruti Suzuki had never been equipped with seat belts until exports began, meaning that such parts originally had to be imported from Japan to be fitted to export market cars, as with everything relating to building left-hand-drive cars. The Maruti also got its first catalytic converter to meet European requirements. The cleaner 35 PS (26 kW) version first arrived in August 1992 and

960-400: The S-Presso . The 800 cc variant was later discontinued in 2023 due to new emission standards. In 2014, an Alto 800 with no airbags and no ABS was crash tested by Global NCAP (similar to Latin NCAP 2013). The car received 0 stars for adult occupant and 2 stars for child occupant. The Alto K10 was launched in India as a new generation on 18 August 2022 after two years of hiatus. It

1080-667: The Alto nameplate had been successfully used to export the Maruti Suzuki Zen to Europe from India since around 1994, having captured over 40% market share in Belgium and 33% in Netherlands by 1998. The original Alto 800 carries the RF308 chassis code while the three-cylinder K10 is RF310; the four-cylinder export version is RF410. The Alto was seen as a natural successor to the time-tested and equally popular Maruti 800 (MB 308). It included all

Engines are tested over the 5-mode ISO 8178 D2 test cycle. Smoke opacity is measured at full load. Concentrations are corrected to dry exhaust conditions with 15% residual O 2 . The emission standards for thermal power plants in India are being enforced based on Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 of Government of India and its amendments from time to time. A summary of emission norms for coal- and gas-based thermal power plants

1200-483: The Community is made available to consumers to enable consumers to make an informed choice. Emission standards for diesel construction machinery were adopted on 21 September 2006. The standards are structured into two tiers: The standards are summarised in the following table: The limit values apply for both type approval (TA) and conformity of production (COP) testing. Testing is performed on an engine dynamo-meter over

1260-999: The ECE + EUDC for low power vehicles (with maximum speed limited to 90 km/h). Before 2000, emissions were measured over an Indian test cycle. Engines for use in light-duty vehicles can be also emission tested using an engine dynamo-meter. The respective emission standards are listed in Table 5. † Earlier introduction in selected regions, see Table 1. Emissions standards for petrol vehicles (GVW ≤ 3,500 kg) are summarised in Table 6. Ranges of emission limits refer to different classes of light commercial vehicles (comparable to EU light-duty vehicle emission standards ). The lowest limit in each range applies to passenger cars (GVW ≤ 2,500 kg; up to 6 seats). † Earlier introduction in selected regions, see Table 1. ‡ only in selected regions, see Table 1.

1320-411: The above emission standards, the selection of a site for a new power plant has to maintain the local ambient air quality as given in Table 17. However the norms for SO x are even stricter for selection of sites for World Bank funded projects (refer Table 18). For example, if SO x level is higher than 100 μg/m , no project with further SO x emission can be set up; if SO x level is 100 μg/m , it

1380-424: The advantages of the 800 model for Indian car buyers, along with additional features such as power steering, power-assisted braking, and a fifth gear, which the 800 lacked. The Alto's popularity has grown steadily in recent years, largely due to its competitive pricing, which has been reduced thanks to lower excise duties. The Alto became the first car in India to sell over 200,000 units in a single financial year, with

Powering the 2015 Alto K10 is the same 1.0-litre K10B engine that also powers the Celerio and Wagon R . However, this time it has been tuned to provide better fuel economy, and the new Alto K10 returns an ARAI -certified fuel economy of 24.06 km/L (56.6 mpg US), 15 percent better than

1620-510: The car was released in 2005 to meet Indian emissions regulations. An LPG version of the vehicle was also released in 2008. As of September 2009, the company has yet to reach a decision regarding the manufacture of a Euro IV -compliant version of the vehicle because it would increase the retail price. However even stricter emissions regulations which came into effect by April 2010, would mandate Euro IV compliance in major Indian cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bangalore and 2015–2016 for

1680-458: The car. It was also sold as the Suzuki Alto 800 in many export markets. In May 2016, a refreshed version of Alto 800 was introduced with notable changes to the exterior, interior, features and specifications. The new Maruti Alto 800 comes with improved fuel efficiency and is now capable of returning a mileage of 24.7 km/L (58.1 mpg US) In April 2019, the car received another refresh. The Alto 800 did not comply with BSVI emissions standards and

1740-502: The country. In 13 major cities, Bharat Stage IV emission norms have been in place since April 2010 and it has been enforced for entire country since April 2017. In 2016, the Indian government announced that the country would skip the BS V norms altogether and adopt BS VI norms by 2020. In its recent judgment, the Supreme Court has banned the sale and registration of motor vehicles conforming to

1800-637: The early years were essentially Suzuki OEM components imported from Japan and merely assembled by Maruti Udyog Limited at the Gurgaon plant. Exports to neighboring countries commenced in 1987, and were followed by a shipment of 500 cars to Hungary , with the first car arriving on 24 October 1987. Soon, exports to Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia followed, two other markets with less restrictive homologation requirements than Western Europe. After successes there, and in spite of Suzuki's objections, Maruti Suzuki tackled more competitive markets and entered France in 1989,

1860-501: The emission requirements of Bharat Stage-6, the carburetors in petrol engines need to be replaced by the programmed fuel injectors. To further reduce tail pipe emissions, the exhaust system would be fitted with three way catalytic converters.

1920-537: The emission standard Bharat Stage IV in the entire country from 1 April 2020. On 15 November 2017, the Petroleum Ministry of India, in consultation with public oil marketing companies, decided to bring forward the date of BS VI grade auto fuels in NCT of Delhi with effect from 1 April 2018 instead of 1 April 2020. In fact, Petroleum Ministry OMCs were asked to examine the possibility of introduction of BS VI auto fuels in

1980-537: The following tables. India's auto sector accounts for about 18% of the total CO 2 emissions in the country. Relative CO 2 emissions from transport have risen rapidly in recent years, but like the EU, currently there are no standards for CO 2 emission limits for pollution from vehicles. As per Bharat Stage-6 norms, the emission of carbon monoxide is to be reduced by 30% and NO x by 80%. The BS-6 norms also sets limits for Hydrocarbon and particulate emissions, which were not specified in earlier norms. To meet

2040-561: The introduction of BS3 and BS4 resulted in the fast-tracking of the BSVI or BS6 standards by skipping the BSV (BS5) norms. Each of the regulations have stricter emission standards compared to its predecessors. The first emission norms were introduced in India in 1991 for petroleum distillate, and 1992 for diesel vehicles. These were followed by making the Catalytic converter mandatory for petrol vehicles and

2100-531: The introduction of unleaded petrol in the market. On 29 April 1999, the Supreme Court of India ruled that all vehicles in India have to meet Euro I or India 2000 norms by 1 June 1999 and Euro II will be imperative in the NCR by 1 April 2000. Car makers were not prepared for this transition and in a subsequent judgement the implementation date for Euro II was not enforced. In 2002, the Indian Government accepted

2160-428: The last 100,000 units sold within just five months. It also became the only car to sell more than 22,000 units in a single month. Maruti's extensive network of dealerships and Authorized Service Centers (MASS) has significantly contributed to the Alto's substantial success in the Indian entry-level car market. Maruti Suzuki India launched a new version of the first generation Alto in the Indian auto market in August 2010,

2220-676: The law made it mandatory for the vehicles sold to be Euro IV compliant. Another reason cited was the relatively outdated model's declining sales. Maruti Suzuki 800 sales were down by 3.7% in April 2010, when compared with April 2009. Total sales of Maruti Suzuki 800 was 33028 for the period April 2009 to March 2010. The Indian Automobile industry is the seventh largest in the world , with an annual production of over 4 million vehicles and exports of about 600,000. In 2009, India emerged as Asia 's fourth largest exporter of automobiles, behind Japan , South Korea and Thailand . The last Maruti Suzuki 800

2280-501: The modification within the permissible emission levels of BS6 vehicles compared to BS4 vehicles: These area unit emission standards set by Bharat Safety Emission commonplace (BSEB) to manage the output of pollutants from vehicles plying on the road. The Central Pollution Control Board , under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (Mo.E.F.C.C.), sets the permissible pollution levels and timeline to implement an equivalent by vehicle makers. The abbreviation of Bharat Stage

2340-517: The most permissible levels for pollutants emitting from an automotive or a two-wheeler exhaust. Compared to the BS4, BS6 emission standards area unit stricter, whereas makers use this variation to update their vehicles with new options and safety standards, the largest or the numerous modification comes within the type of stricter permissible emission norms. The below table offers Associate in Nursing insight into

2400-508: The only reasonably modern car available in India, the incumbent mainstay Hindustan Ambassador and Premier Padmini being based on long-obsolete 1950s designs. The delivery was against bookings done directly with Maruti Udyog Limited (A Govt. of India undertaking). The prospective owner would then have to wait for almost three years after booking till delivery. Such extended waiting times gave rise to some people indulging into black marketing and earning premiums as much as 40%. Cars produced during

2460-419: The outgoing model. The Alto K10 facelift is available with two different transmission; 5-speed manual and 5-speed Auto Gear Shift (AGS) transmission. The AGS is an automated manual transmission technology, which shifts gear with the help of an ECU mapped actuator on pre-defined engine speeds. It also allows driver to shift gears when required. The Alto K10 was discontinued in 2020, being temporarily replaced by

2520-527: The ownership rights through a lucky draw. The original 800 was based on the Suzuki Fronte SS80, but a modernized aerodynamic version using the body of the second-generation Alto ( SB308 ) was presented in late 1986. The introduction of this car did revolutionize the automotive industry in India. Right from its inception, it was considered as the first affordable people's car, the first modern era front wheel drive and high speed small contemporary vehicle, and

2580-497: The predecessor continued to be produced for a little longer), and while keeping the same 796 cc (48.6 cu in) engine, there have been several modifications. The base price of the Alto, already India's best-selling car, was actually lowered with the new model, as it replaced the venerable Maruti 800 . Various methods were found to lower the price, including lowering the weight of each individual component by one gram each, and also by building their own robots for manufacturing

2640-482: The regulations related to vehicular emissions. While the norms help in bringing down pollution levels, it invariably results in increased vehicle cost due to the improved technology and higher fuel prices. However, this increase in private cost is offset by savings in health costs for the public, as there is a lesser amount of disease-causing particulate matter and pollution in the air . Exposure to air pollution can lead to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, which

2700-475: The remainder of the country. By 2005, Maruti Suzuki had planned to phase out the 800 around 2010. but it was still on sale in October 2011. Its main competitor is the less expensive Tata Nano (123,000 compared to 184,641 rupees ) which has an 8 percent smaller exterior size and a noisier engine with less torque. But in 2011, Maruti Suzuki declared to relaunch Maruti Suzuki 800 compliant Euro IV emission norms to tap

2760-515: The report submitted by the Mashelkar committee. The committee proposed a road map for the roll-out of Euro based emission norms for India. It also recommended a phased implementation of future norms with the regulations being implemented in major cities first and extended to the rest of the country after a few years. Based on the recommendations of the committee, the National Auto Fuel policy

In addition, the National Auto Fuel Policy introduces certain emission requirements for interstate buses with routes originating or terminating in Delhi or the other 10 cities. Progress of emission standards for 2-and 3-wheeled vehicles: In order to comply with the BSIV norms, 2- and 3-wheeler manufacturers will have to fit an evaporative emission control unit, which should lower

2880-479: The small car market directly competing Tata Nano but later on Maruti Suzuki decided to phase out as it was not feasible for the company. The 800 is equipped with a 796 cc (49 cu in) Inline 3-cylinder 4-stroke petrol engine from the Suzuki F family. It features 2 valves per cylinder with a single overhead cam , and 8.7:1 compression ratio. The original engine option was the carbureted F8B engine, which later

2940-466: The useful life periods and deterioration factors are the same as for Bharat (CEV) Stage III, Table 11. Emissions from new diesel engines used in generator sets have been regulated by the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India [GSR 371 (E), 17 May 2002]. The regulations impose type approval certification, production conformity testing and labelling requirements. Certification agencies include

3000-498: The whole of NCR area from 1 April 2019. This huge step was taken due to the heavy problem of air pollution faced by Delhi which became worse around 2019. The decision was met with disarray by the automobile companies as they had planned the development according to roadmap for 2020. The phasing out of 2-stroke engine for two wheelers, the cessation of production of the Maruti 800 , and the introduction of electronic controls have been due to

Until the late 2010 introduction of the K10 Alto, it was powered by a three-cylinder 796 cc (48.6 cu in) gasoline engine with four valves per cylinder, MPFI and a 32-bit ECM. All models have a five-speed manual transmission. There also used to be a VX/VXi model (RF410) with a four-cylinder 1061-cc engine with 63 PS (46 kW) and 85 N⋅m (9 kg⋅m; 63 lb⋅ft) torque, launched in April 2001. This has now been discontinued, although it

3180-428: Was based on the 1979 Suzuki Alto and had an 800 cc F8B engine, hence the moniker. Widely regarded as the most influential automobile in India, about 2.87 million 800s were produced during its course of which 2.66 million were sold in India itself. Produced for 31 years, the Maruti Suzuki 800 remains the second longest production car in India, next only to Hindustan Ambassador . Sanjay Gandhi tried his hand at

3240-592: Was introduced in 1986 was a horizontal slat grille with 'Maruti 800' monogram at the right hand corner. This grille was replaced by a mesh grille with the Maruti Logo on the centre in October 1994. Also, the bonnet opener that was placed on the bonnet was replaced by an ejection button inside of the car. The hubcaps were also changed from the shiny silver ones to plastic ones. Several new colours were also introduced, such as Maruti Green, St Germaine Red, Pearl White, Neptune Blue, etc. A Euro III emission-compliant version of

3300-475: Was offered exclusively with a 5-speed manual transmission. All models are front wheel drive. BS VI Bharat stage emission standards (BSES) are emission standards instituted by the Government of India to regulate the output of air pollutants from compression ignition engines and Spark-ignition engines equipment, including motor vehicles . The standards and the timeline for implementation are set by

3360-585: Was offered in MPFI form. The updated 4 valve per cylinder F8D MPFI was introduced concurrently with the Alto in 2000 to comply with BSES and was able to achieve up to the BSIII standard. An LPG version of the F8B was later offered as it complied with BSIII standards. The original F8B engine was offered with a 4-speed manual, and later an optional 3-speed automatic. The updated F8D engine

3420-544: Was originally reserved for Europe. Maruti Suzuki had begun a phase-out of the Maruti Suzuki 800 beginning in April 2010, as they did not have plans to upgrade it to Euro IV or BS IV emission norms, instead choosing to replace it with the second generation Maruti Suzuki Alto 800 in India. Starting in April 2010, Maruti halted sales of the car in 13 major cities: the four metros of Chennai , Delhi , Kolkata , Mumbai and 9 other cities including Kanpur , Bengaluru , Hyderabad , Pune , Ahmedabad , Agra and Surat , where

3480-441: Was rolled off the production lines on 18 January 2014. After a full model change in 1986, the 800 has undergone some minor facelifts but overall it still remains the same as it was on introduction. The car has reported slipping sales in recent times, mainly due to the introduction of the Alto at a comparable price. The car produces approximately 37 bhp (28 kW; 38 PS) of power and runs on 12 inch wheels. Curb weight
