Maruti Suzuki Alto Now Available With Driver Airbag as Option
Considering that the Alto has been India's largest selling car for 10 years in a row, and is still selling an average of 22,000 units a month, the move to improve safety in the car doesn't come as a surprise. The standard version of the Alto with the option of the airbag is now priced at Rs. 2.62 lakh while the LXI variant of the K10 with the airbag costs Rs. 3.45 lakh (all prices ex-showroom Delhi)
