Facelift of 2013 Suzuki Alto(A-Star)

A while ago, spyshots of the facelifted A-Star bound to the Chinese domestic market surfaced onto the interweb. We even showed you a render on how the facelifted A-Star could possibly look like. Now, we have another set of spyshots of the facelifted A-Star, this time the clearest set of images yet. By the looks of it, the A-Star gets a brand new front end, replete with new headlamps, a new front grille and redesigned bumpers.

2 million Alto Cars sold by Maruti

11 years and 9 months after it was first introduced in India, the Maruti Alto has gone on to touch the great mark of 2 million units in terms of sales. The Maruti Suzuki Alto was introduced in two variants initially, with the three cylinder, 796cc F8D petrol engine being the main volumes puller while a 1.1 Liter, 4 cylinder petrol engine formed the more powerful premium variant in the small car’s line up. While the F8D engine continues to do duty in India’s largest selling car currently, the 1.1 Liter engine was discontinued due to the overwhelming preference of car buyers for the smaller, more fuel efficient engine.
