The new car was draped in a complete camouflaged but it does give us the idea of what Maruti's new design will look like. The entire outlook is bigger in size & dimensions as compared to the current Alto. The new car is expected to cater the buyers that look for budget entry-level micro-SUVs like the Maruti S-Presso. New Alto will be taller, wider, and longer to accommodate more space.
