Maruti Suzuki has launched ‘Dream’ editions of three of its most affordable cars – the Alto K10, Celerio and S-Presso. All models under the Dream series wear identical price tags and are equipped with a few extra features over their standard counterparts. Maruti Suzuki’s sales in the mini car segment have been declining for a while now, with car buyers increasingly preferring bigger, more premium cars. The Dream series is an attempt by the Indian automaker to revive interest in some of its most accessible offerings.

In a bid to make the hatchbacks even more affordable, Maruti Suzuki has stuck to a sub-5 lakh price for all three cars. Speaking to the media, Partho Banerjee, Senior Executive Officer, Marketing & Sales, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, explained the cars have been strategically priced to keep RTO registration charges to a minimum, as those charges rise in some locations where the price of the car exceeds Rs 5 lakh.
