Recent news, small cars and compact hatchbacks continue to dominate the list of best sellers in India. Maruti Alto has strengthened its position as the best selling car in India in 2010-11 selling almost 350,000 cars during the fiscal.
There are many reasons to make Alto popular in India. Maruti Alto is one of the entry level cars and maintenance is very very low. It is well known that Maruti vehicles are easy on pocket in terms of maintenance and alto is no exception. Besides this alto will give you a steady mileage of 16-18kmpl depending on your driving style. You can maintain your car easily if you get it serviced regularly. The car doesn’t have too many electronics so it wont burn hole in pocket.
Regular paid service should be around Rs. 1500 per visit, also stock spares are not heavy on pocket & can be easily procured in any corner of India, besides this even roadside mechanics and small car workshops are well aware of the Maruti vehicles in case of emergency breakdown.
Maruti has established a good network of Maruti Authorized Service Station all across India.
With a number of new small car launches such as Toyota Liva, Honda Brio and possibly Hyundai’s entry level car expected this year, the league of bestsellers may find many new names in future.
