Maruti Alto 658 JDM Updates

Tuesday, 08 August 2017 12:32 PM The Maruti Alto 658 JDM, expected to be launched in India, is set to feature a BS-VI compliant 658 cc petrol engine, which is more powerful and fuel-efficient than the current Alto 800’s engine. This new engine produces 52 PS of peak power and 63 Nm of peak torque, with an impressive fuel efficiency of 37 kmpl. I think this upgrade will significantly enhance the driving experience.

Tuesday, 08 August 2017 09:23 PM Maruti Suzuki has been testing the next-generation Alto with a 658 cc engine in India since 2015. The car is expected to be launched in late 2019 and will be underpinned by Suzuki’s HEARTECT platform, known for its lightweight and rigid structure. The design is likely to draw inspiration from the current Alto and the Ignis.

Tuesday, 08 August 2017 03:03 PM Maruti Suzukis R&D centre in Rohtak has started developing the next-generation Alto, focusing on design and engineering tailored for the Indian market. The new Alto is expected to have an attractive interior design and could include upmarket features to cater to modern buyers. I think this local focus will help in making the car more appealing to Indian consumers.

Tuesday, 08 August 2017 11:53 AM The launch of the Maruti Alto 658 JDM in India has been delayed several times, with the latest expectations pointing to a late 2019 launch. The car has been undergoing extensive testing to ensure it meets Indian road conditions and regulatory standards. I think the wait will be worth it given the improvements.

Tuesday, 08 August 2017 07:16 AM The new Maruti Alto 658 JDM will compete directly with other compact cars like the Renault Kwid, Hyundai Eon, and Datsun RediGo. With its powerful and fuel-efficient engine, along with modern features, it is expected to consolidate its dominance in the segment. I believe it has a strong chance of leading the market.

Monday, 15 August 2016 08:25 PM The upcoming Maruti Alto 658 JDM will feature modern amenities such as power steering, power windows, and an option for ABS. The car will have a McPherson strut coil spring for the front suspension and a torsion beam type coil spring for the rear. The ride height is set at 155 mm, which might be adjusted for Indian roads.

Monday, 15 August 2016 01:54 PM The Maruti Alto 658 JDM is expected to come with a 5-speed manual gearbox and an Auto Gear Shift (AGS) transmission. The car will also feature a fuel tank capacity of 27 litres and a claimed mileage of 37 kmpl, making it highly fuel-efficient. This could be a major selling point in the Indian market.

Monday, 15 August 2016 07:57 PM The design of the new Maruti Alto 658 JDM is described as retro, combining elements of the Alto and Wagon-R. The front features new petal-shaped headlights, and the rear has a black finish. The dimensions are similar to the older Alto 800, but with some minor adjustments. I believe the retro look will appeal to those who love classic designs.

Monday, 15 August 2016 11:31 AM The engine of the Maruti Alto 658 JDM is a 658 cc water-cooled, 3-cylinder DOHC with electronically controlled fuel injection, producing 51 BHP at 6500 rpm and 63 Nm of torque at 4000 rpm. This engine is expected to provide better performance and fuel efficiency compared to the previous models.

Thursday, 19 March 2015 04:35 PM The new Maruti Alto 658 JDM is rumored to replace the Alto K10s 1.0-litre naturally aspirated unit with a 658 cc turbocharged petrol engine. This move aligns with Suzukis trend of downsizing engines, such as the introduction of the BoosterJet engine. I believe this could be a game-changer in the compact car segment.
