With the festive season coming up there is a flurry of activities at the end of car manufacturers, with latest news coming from the one manufacturer which just refuses to let go of its iron grip on our market, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. The Maruti Suzuki Alto 800 Onam Limited Editionis the latest Maruti Suzuki car to get a list of new features and a sticker job to make the car a tad more appealing. The latest “limited edition” model of the Alto 800 specifically targets South India, where the festival of Onam is commemorated with great pomp and show. Sales of the Alto 800 have been showing wild swings over the past few months, with the hatchback often losing out its “top selling car in India” status to stablemates Dzire and WagonR. Maruti Suzuki could be banking on the latest (and the upcoming) limited edition Alto 800 to give the sales of its bread and butter model a considerable boost. Read on to find more about the new Maruti Suzuki Alto 800 Onam Limited Edition.
