The Alto was launched in the year 2000. By 2008, Maruti Suzuki had sold 10 lakh units of the small hatchback. The next 10 lakh units were sold in just 4 years. In 2016, Alto sales crossed the 30 lakh unit mark.

The Maruti Alto has been the no. 1 selling car in India for 16 consecutive years. According to the carmaker, 76% of Alto customers were first time car buyers.

The Alto is powered by a BS6-compliant 796cc, 3-cylinder petrol engine that produces 47 BHP @ 6,000 rpm and 69 Nm of torque @ 3,500 rpm. The engine is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. The car is also available with a factory-fitted CNG kit. On CNG, the engine output drops to 40 BHP and 60 Nm.

The Maruti Alto becomes the largest selling Indian car ahead of the M 800, crosses 40 lakhs cumulative sales. I feel it will continue to post good numbers for a few more years, unless Maruti replaces it with some other model.
