The new Alto 800 and K10 have received some cosmetic changes to set them apart from the regular versions.

Both models remain mechanically unchanged, carrying forward the Alto 800’s 796cc three-cylinder petrol engine and the K10’s 998cc, three-cylinder K10 petrol engine.

Maruti Suzuki is offering the special edition models with the option of two interior colour combinations – Black/Silver or Red/Blue. Dhoni fans can also avail the additional features at a price of Rs 16,777 for the Alto 800 LXi and Rs 12,777 for the Alto K10 LXi and VXi. The special edition Alto 800 and K10 have been introduced in association with the upcoming movie ‘MS Dhoni – The Untold Story’, and will be available for sale at Maruti Suzuki dealerships from the first week of October 2016.
