Currently, the lowest priced version of <b>Maruti Alto</b> model comes equipped with a 800-cc, three-cylinder F8D engine.</p> <p>It is widely speculated among the company's vendors that the new <b>Maruti Alto</b> model will be launched in the second half of the next year and will be about Rs 50,000 cheaper as compared to the existing model. However, the company hasn't made any announcement regarding the launch of a stripped-down version of this car in the Indian market. At present, the Alto Standard carries a price tag of Rs 2.53 lakh which is almost double the price of the standard version of Tata Nano in the country.</p> <p>Moreover, it is also expected that the company may launch the much awaited Maruti Cervo model in the Indian market by the end of this year.
