The Maruti Tour H1: Is it really just a stripped down Alto for taxi drivers or does it have some hidden gems?
Maruti Tour H1 is a commercial taxi specific variant based on the popular Alto. It’s tempting to think that it is just a boring, no frills version of the Alto, but perhaps there’s more to it than that. Others say that its design is simpler, and therefore more durable and easier to maintain over the long haul. Naturally, others argue that the omission of some features reduces its useability as a personal device. The debate also rages over whether the Tour H1's particular modifications, such as the speed limiter, actually make it safer to drive or merely more irritating to drive. Some also wonder if the lower price point and presumably better fuel efficiency make it an attractive option for budget conscious private buyers, not just taxi operators. So let’s look at some different takes on what the Tour H1 actually brings to the table and whether it deserves more credit than it’s given.
I've driven both the regular Alto and the Tour H1 and to be honest, the differences aren't that much different from those that people make it out to be. Of course, you lose some bells and whistles, but the heart and soul of what makes the Alto great is still there. I kinda dig the Tour H1 feeling more purpose built.
