As India’s largest selling car storms into the record books with a mammoth 35 lakh sales figure, the carmaker sets its eyes on the future by working on the Alto’s BSVI-compliant version
Maruti Suzuki sold over 1.07 lakh units of the Alto in the first five months of the calendar year 2017.
Alto K10 Urbano is a limited edition available in all the trims and costs Rs. 16,990 over the existing variants.
All of us accept that motorcycles can be really cool, but that is only true until they have us face the elements.
