New Maruti compact 800

Tata may have showed the World that it could build the cheapest car yet, but Maruti has been the one to put India on wheels with the 800 back in the 80s and is all set to revive the iconic car with a newer and more updated small car that will be powered by an 800 cc engine. The new car will be based on the Alto platform and will as a result offer more room inside the car.

The car’s design seems to be fresh, yet simple and interiors won’t really be super exciting. But coming from Maruti and targeted at a price bracket of under Rs 2 lakh for the base version, Maruti aims to take on the Tata Nano and the Hyundai Eon head on!
