Automobile major Maruti Suzuki
on Monday said its entry-level hatchback Alto has scaled the unique feat
of "35 lakh" in cumulative wholesale numbers. The car was launched in 2000. According
to the company, "Brand Alto" has been the preferred choice for "first
time family car buyers due to its modern design, affordability and high
fuel efficiency". "Brand Alto continues to remain fresh,
relevant and as exciting as it was in 2000. Since 2006, every two years,
Alto is adding 5 lakh new happy customers," R.S. Kalsi, Senior
Executive Director (Marketing and Sales) of Maruti Suzuki, was quoted as
saying in a statement.
"In 2008, we clocked 10 lakh units. In
2010, it touched 15 lakh units and today in 2018, we have crossed 35
lakhs of cumulative sales."
The brand has a strong portfolio with two engine options on offer -- 800 cc and K10 -- along with a CNG fuel variant. In 2014, Maruti Suzuki introduced two-pedal technology (auto gear shift) transmission in the Alto K10.
"Maruti
Suzuki has systematically upgraded the Alto to meet the ever evolving
customer aspirations and strengthen brand Alto," Kalsi said. "In
2017-18, nearly 55 per cent of customers have selected Alto as their
first car purchase in 2017-18. Interestingly, 25 per cent of Alto buyers
are buying it as an additional car."
