The Maruti Alto became
only the second Suzuki India car ever to reach the 2 million mark this month. It's been 11
years and 9 months since Suzuki launched the car in India. It was the fastest to
sell 10 lakh units in the domestic market. Within 8 years and 3 months. The next
ten lakh units came much faster within three years and 6 months.
The Alto has been Suzuki's as well as India's
largest selling car for a while now. Only this month, it was toppled by Suzuki's
very own Swift which sold marginally higher than the Alto.On the occasion, Mr. Mayank Pareek, Chief Operating
Officer, (Marketing and Sales), said, “Alto’s superior fuel efficiency, compact
sleek design, good manoeuvrability and overall low cost of ownership are the
attributes that make it the best car for the first time buyers. Alto as a
complete package continues to win customer’s hearts and surprise everyone with
its performance.”
Encouraged by the demand for the Alto, Suzuki
launched a powerful K-Series engine in an Alto K-10 avatar in August 2010. At
the same, they also introduced a CNG variant of the Alto.
