Maruti has actually killed the Alto design. The old Alto looked so clean compared to the new Alto 800. If the current gen Alto inspires these looks, I have my doubts. First impressions were the KUV 100? Totally agree on the central instrument cluster. Maruti will blunder on this, if signed off. Last edited by Arjun Reddy : 18th March 2019 at 21:45. | |

| ![]() Isn't this production version, was expected to get a 'ZEN'-name ! IIRC. Regarding centrally placed instrument console, if ergonomically placed it won't be a matter of much concern either. Last edited by suhaas307 : 7th September 2019 at 09:40. Reason: Spacing |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Visited the local Arena showroom in Kolkata and enquired about the new Alto. The salesman told me that the launch would take place soon , early May or April end. He said that the training for the new Alto was scheduled this month. I gave him my number and asked him to update me on the launch , prices etc as I'm interested in buying this for my parents. |

| ![]() Somehow I have a feeling that the Alto duo (800 & K-10) will co-exist with this new upcoming model. They may position this model premium to the K-10 and retail it through NEXA (after all Nexa dealers are in Red as other than Baleno, no other model sells good numbers from the NEXA dealership) This is just my understanding of how Maruti can offer 3 models at different price position and different sales channel. (Though I am not sure if Alto will be able to pass the stringent safety requirement in Oct.2019, but still just an Out of the Box thinking) Last edited by suhaas307 : 7th September 2019 at 09:41.

| ![]() The Future S based model will be an entire new offering from Maruti, but will indirectly replace the K10. Maruti has upgraded the Alto (800) for upcoming crash test norms but the K10 hasnt seen structural changes, only cosmetic add-ons like parking sensors etc which means Maruti does not intend to sell the K10 post August this year. |

But what a freaking weird choice of name for a car! Maruti S-Presso? Does it run on coffee (and deliver north of 30 kpl ![]() I mean, they have used better-sounding names in the past. Zen is one of them, just use that instead of such lame names. Last edited by self_driven : 19th June 2019 at 08:47. | |

| ![]() That's a funny name, but might click with first time buyers. Touchscreen aint segment first for sure, Kwid has it since years. On a lighter note, hope we dont see Maruti selling the S-Presso at a Starbucks or CCD in future. |

| ![]() Naming a new born with resemblance to the name of an elder one - Cross and Press from the parent S. We do it all the time in our families. On a serious note, I do not think they are going to position this at the entry level as the new Alto. If this has the presence of a mini SUV, positioning will be higher and that makes me doubtful about the existence of Ignis. |
