Maruti Alto (2009)

Wednesday, 27 January 2010 04:42 PM In 2009, Maruti Suzuki produced 9,66,399 units of the Alto and other models, surpassing its parent company Suzuki Motor Corporations production of 9,08,302 units. The Alto was a significant contributor to these numbers, especially with its strong sales in the domestic market. I think this milestone highlights Maruti Suzukis dominance in the Indian automotive market.

Wednesday, 27 January 2010 07:35 PM The Maruti Alto was the top-selling model for Maruti Suzuki in 2009, with over 2.4 lakh units sold in the domestic market. The Altos popularity was due to its competitive pricing and additional features like power steering and a fifth gear, which were not available in its predecessor, the Maruti 800. This made it a favorite among Indian car buyers.

This achievement included sales of the Alto and its variants produced in India, such as the Maruti 800, which was instrumental in Indias motorization. The Altos success was attributed to its customer-focused design, versatility, and economical running.
