Maruti Suzuki, India’s most trusted carmaker, has once again captured the nation’s attention with the unveiling of the Alto 800 New Model 2025. Known for its affordability, reliability, and unmatched fuel efficiency, the Alto has been the heartbeat of Indian families for over two decades. Now, in its latest 2025 avatar, the new Alto 800 comes with a refreshed design, modern interiors, enhanced safety features, and an all-new hybrid powertrain that promises an unbelievable 34 km/l mileage.
With this update, Maruti Suzuki aims to redefine budget mobility once again, offering style and smart technology in a car that remains accessible to millions. The Alto 800 2025 is positioned to compete with cars like the Hyundai Eon, Renault Kwid, and Tata Tiago, while staying true to its roots as India’s ultimate value-for-money hatchback.
Design and Exterior
The Maruti Suzuki Alto 800 2025 has undergone a complete design evolution, marking a bold shift from its earlier compact look to a more aerodynamic and modern hatchback appearance. Built on Suzuki’s HEARTECT platform, which also underpins models like the Swift and Baleno, the new Alto looks more dynamic and confident.
The front fascia features a redesigned honeycomb grille with chrome inserts, flanked by sharp halogen projector headlamps and stylish LED daytime running lights (DRLs). The bumper has been sculpted to give a sporty touch, and the bonnet’s smooth curves add to the car’s aerodynamic efficiency.
On the sides, the car now gets body-colored ORVMs, flush door handles, and new 14-inch dual-tone alloy wheels. The rear design includes modern LED tail lamps with a connected light strip and a bold “Alto” badge across the tailgate, giving it a premium hatchback feel.
Despite being a compact car, the new Alto looks wider and more planted on the road, offering improved stability and road presence. Maruti Suzuki has introduced fresh color options for 2025, including Pearl Arctic White, Silky Silver, Fire Red, Urban Blue, and Prime Grey, adding youthfulness to its personality.
Interior and Comfort
The interior of the Alto 800 2025 has been significantly upgraded to match the expectations of modern-day drivers. Step inside, and you’ll find a refreshed cabin with a dual-tone dashboard, premium fabric seats, and improved ergonomics.
The centerpiece is a new 7-inch SmartPlay Studio touchscreen infotainment system, offering Bluetooth, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay connectivity. The driver’s console features a semi-digital instrument cluster displaying information like fuel efficiency, hybrid energy flow, and range.
Space optimization has been a major focus area for Maruti. The 2025 model offers better legroom, headroom, and shoulder space, making it more comfortable for long drives. The redesigned seats provide improved lumbar support, and the boot capacity of 230 liters ensures adequate space for everyday needs.
Additional features include power windows, remote central locking, manual air conditioning, USB charging port, and steering-mounted controls on higher variants. Even though it’s an affordable car, Maruti hasn’t compromised on practicality and convenience.
Engine and Performance
The Maruti Suzuki Alto 800 2025 comes with a next-generation 1.0-litre DualJet Dual VVT engine paired with Maruti’s Smart Hybrid Technology. This setup combines a refined petrol engine with an integrated starter generator (ISG) and a small lithium-ion battery pack, offering both better mileage and lower emissions.
The petrol engine produces around 67 bhp of power and 89 Nm of torque, delivering peppy performance for city driving while maintaining excellent efficiency. The car is available with both 5-speed manual and AGS (Auto Gear Shift) transmission options, giving buyers flexibility depending on their driving needs.
For eco-conscious buyers, Maruti will also offer a CNG variant, which delivers an incredible mileage of 34 km/kg, making it one of the most fuel-efficient cars in India.
The hybrid system provides smooth engine start-stop functionality, improved throttle response, and intelligent regenerative braking — converting braking energy into battery power. The result is a smoother drive, improved pickup, and reduced running cost.
Ride Quality and Handling
Despite being compact, the Alto 800 2025 offers impressive ride comfort and stability. The new HEARTECT platform gives it a lightweight yet rigid structure, enhancing both safety and performance. The MacPherson strut suspension at the front and torsion beam setup at the rear absorb bumps effortlessly, making it ideal for Indian roads.
The car’s small turning radius of 4.6 meters allows effortless maneuvering in tight city spaces and narrow lanes. The steering is light and responsive, making it easy for first-time drivers and urban commuters.
Additionally, the improved NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) levels ensure a quieter cabin, while the low center of gravity provides better balance during high-speed drives.
Safety and Technology
Maruti Suzuki has made major strides in safety with the new Alto 800 2025. Built using high-tensile steel, the body structure meets the latest Bharat NCAP and Global NCAP crash norms. The car now comes with advanced safety features even in the base model.
Standard features include dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, seat belt reminders, and high-speed alert system. The top variants add reverse parking camera, central locking, and electronic stability control (ESC) for improved confidence on highways.
Maruti’s new Smart Hybrid Technology also enhances safety by providing smoother gear shifts and quick engine restarts during start-stop traffic.
Mileage and Fuel Efficiency
When it comes to mileage, no one does it better than Maruti — and the Alto 800 2025 proves that once again. The hybrid petrol variant delivers a best-in-class 34 km/l, while the CNG variant pushes efficiency even higher with 34 km/kg.
This remarkable fuel economy makes the Alto 2025 not only budget-friendly but also one of the most eco-efficient cars on Indian roads. The Smart Hybrid system’s energy regeneration further helps reduce fuel consumption in stop-and-go traffic.
Price and Variants
The Maruti Suzuki Alto 800 2025 will be offered in four variants – STD, LXI, VXI, and ZXI+, each with petrol and CNG options. Below is the expected price list:
