Instead of a radiator grill, the car gets a front panel that has four vertical open slats on one side, while the 3 slat air dam is also partially open. The rear end embraces bumper mounted taillights and dual fog lamps along with simple hatch door.
Inside the cabin, the 2015 Alto feature a beige-black dual tone flat dashboard with four AC vents, a 3 spoke steering wheel and a dash mounted gear lever. The dashboard layout is simple yet features a mix of circular and rectangular AC vents. The instrument cluster features an analogue speedometer along with a digital MID.
Powering the car is a 660cc three-cylinder petrol engine that churns out 54bhp of power and 63Nm of torque. This mill will come mated to a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic gearbox. Buyers will get the option of a 4×4 model as well. The company is also planning a sporty Alto Turbo RS variant in coming months.
