The company hasn’t released the power figures as well as gearbox options. This SHVS mild hybrid system will further improve the overall fuel efficiency of the Alto. It is expected to be one of the most fuel efficient cars in its category.

Maruti Suzuki has started testing the new-gen Alto in India, which is likely to be launched in early 2022. The spy images reveal that the new model will be significantly bigger and more spacious. It will be longer, wider and taller than the existing model, which should help MSIL to create more space inside the cabin.

The new model will be designed and developed on Suzuki’s new lightweight HEARTECT platform that also underpins the new WagonR, S-Presso and the upcoming Celerio. The new model will be lighter than the current car, which should improve its efficiency. It is likely to be offered with the existing 800cc, 3-cylinder petrol engine. The company could also add the 1.0-litre 3-cylinder petrol engine, which was earlier offered on the Alto K10. The small car will also receive CNG powered model.
