Alto 800 has been discontinued in India, making Alto K10 Maruti’s entry-level car.

Cause: Declining sales that make it unfeasible to update the 800cc engine.

First launched in 2012, Alto 800 existed for over a decade.

Maruti’s 67PS K10C petrol engine now powers its budget models.

K10C is also more efficient, boasting better fuel economy than the 800cc engine.
