Here's taking a quick look at some of the salient features of the New Alto.

Enhanced design: The New Alto comes with new grille and sharp headlamps, while the newly designed bumper and side fender accentuate its looks.

The version comes in stylish dual tone interiors and seats. Ergonomically designed front and rear bottle holders give it an air of practicality.

Keyless entry, Smart Play Dock: The New Alto comes with a new infotainment system called Smart Play Dock. Customers can enjoy music on the Smart Play Dock with Bluetooth. The Smart Play Dock in the New Alto transforms customer’s phone into a touch interface to access calls, music, navigation and more. Customer can also experience the convenience of keyless entry.

New safety features: The New Alto now comes with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brake Force Distribution System (EBD). ABS will help to avoid skidding by electronically controlling braking pressure. It will also help to maintain steering control when braking on slippery surfaces or when braking hard.

The ABS works automatically, whenever it senses that the wheels are locking up. Other standard safety features in the New Alto include Reverse Parking Sensor, Driver Airbag, Speed Alert System and Seat Belt Reminder for both driver and co-driver.

Reduction in vehicular emission: The New Alto's BS-VI compliant engine means a substantial reduction, (nearly 25%) of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), in vehicular emission.

Meeting the End of Life Vehicles (ELV) obligations, the New Alto is over 95% recoverable and 85% recyclable.

The New Alto will be available from Rs 2,93,689 to Rs 3,71,709, ex-showroom price (Delhi).
