New Alto will have “fat loss”, the new model will be 100 kg lighter, will get a mileage of 30 km/litre!

New Delhi. Japanese car manufacturer Suzuki Motor Corporation is trying to reduce the weight of some of its cars to increase the mileage. According to the company, in the next 10 years the car manufacturer can reduce the weight of its affordable car Alto by up to 100 kg.

The weight of the current generation Alto K10 is 680 kg. After reducing the weight by 100 kg, its curb weight will be around 578 kg, which will make the car more mileage efficient.

Upcoming cars will be more fuel efficient
After reducing the weight, this car will come at par with its original model launched in 1970. The aim of this move by Maruti is to bring smaller and more efficient engines in budget cars. Recently Maruti introduced the Z series engine in the new generation Swift which is more efficient than before.

New Alto will get mileage of 30Kmpl
The company is planning to use this engine in future models like WagonR, Baleno, Franck and Dezire. The company is also preparing biofuel and biogas versions of this engine. Maruti says that this engine is also 40% more thermal efficient. Maruti can launch a new Alto based on a new engine in 2027. It is being claimed in some reports that this engine will be capable of giving a mileage of 30 kilometers in petrol.

Alto number-1 for 16 years
Maruti Alto was the company’s best selling car in the Indian market for 16 years. Cars like Alto and WagonR have helped Maruti to establish a foothold in the Indian car market. Now as car manufacturers are moving towards clean energy, the company is also making changes in the engines of its vehicles.

The first electric car will be launched in 2025
Suzuki will launch its first electric car in India next year i.e. early 2025. The company also plans to introduce more efficient hybrid technology. Suzuki believes that the 2KW motor found in its current hybrid cars will become outdated in the future. In such a situation, the company will need a motor with 10KW output which will generate 30% power in the car.
