Maruti Suzuki has discontinued several variants of its entry-level family cars, Alto and S-Presso & has discontinued the single airbag variants of the Alto and S-Presso. Both these small family cars are now offered with dual airbags as standard fitment across the range.
The company has ceased the sales of the single airbag-equipped variants of these cars. With this change , the price of the base variant of the Maruti Suzuki Alto has gone up by almost Rs 80,000 while the S-Presso has witnessed an increment of Rs 14,000 in its base price.
The Maruti Suzuki Alto gets an 800cc petrol engine that develops 48 hp of power and 69 Nm of peak torque, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. Maruti Suzuki S-Presso, on the other hand, is powered by a 1.0-litre petrol engine. This motor churns out 67 hp of power and 90 Nm of peak torque. The engine comes mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox and an AMT (AGS).
The company has taken these steps as the MoRTH (Ministry of Road Transport and Highways) has now made it mandatory for all cars to have dual airbags as standard fitment across the range. Apart from this update, both the cars remain the same as before.
