Next-gen Maruti Suzuki Alto spotted

The new Alto is expected to be based on the Heartect K platform.

A heavily camouflaged prototype believed to be of the next-generation Maruti Suzuki Alto has been spotted.

The next-gen Alto is expected to debut sometime next year. It will be positioned below the Celerio, which is also set to get a major update.

The new Alto is expected to be based on the Heartect K platform. The proportions of the car don't seem to have changed much. The test car seen here is riding on steel wheels shod with rather puny tires, which isn't surprising as the Alto is the entry-level model in Maruti's line-up.

When it comes to features, the new model could get an updated instrument cluster and a touchscreen infotainment system.

Under the bonnet, the Alto is likely to get an all-new 800cc engine featuring a start / stop system. A CNG version could also be on the cards.
