Q. In Alto 800, which variant is powerful with AC or without AC
  • All have powerful a/c ..depends on using it.cabin is small so more cooling.don't put fan all the time .set between 2 and 3 if it is hot inside. zzdown mirrors a little bit so that warm sir goes out.Then you can maintain it on 1 and 2.Use blower fan if it's too humid.Smart adjustment of vents is another trick.try to park the car in shades. Refill ac .,regular check up during services makes it better.
  • Take a/c because in A/c car while designing some rotational balance to counter the act of comppressor.it increase some benefit in torque. And in re-sale value also it experience.
  • I keep going with AC in1 position. We can feel the cool in no time. I tried for long run at a speed of 100 km. Very comfortable. I am regular in servicing the car.

    Good Car 

    I've driven this car, and it's impressive. It boasts excellent pickup, a lovely AC, smooth power steering, and a well-balanced ride, thanks to its perfect suspension. Plus, it offers top mileage in its entry-level segment.

    Good Car 

    This hatchback is great for long rides, excelling in engine performance and body strength. The pros include its engine, looks, technology, and strong body. However, there are some cons: the cost of spares, maintenance, low ground clearance, and it might not be too comfortable for five people. The power is lacking, with good torque but needing at least 85bhp.
