Maruti Suzuki A Star

The New Suzuki Alto will be making its debut at the Paris Motor Show in October. It will be sold in India as the A-Star and the current Alto will be sold along side it. It does look a bit disappointing when we compare it to the A-Star Concept at the Auto Expo.

Expected to be launched in end of October, the A-Star will be powered by a 1.0 liter K Series engine and will compete against Hyundai’s i10. It will be priced around Rs. 4 lacs. The A Star will be built at Suzuki’s Indian plant at Manesar and will be exported globally. Looks like Maruti and Suzuki have done a Hyundai by adopting Hyundai’s strategy of copying designs. The New Alto or the A-Star seems to be quite a copy of Hyundai’s sister arm, Kia’s Picanto. Well i wont say much, just look at the both of them.
