The current Alto has been on sale for over a decade and the new one promises many changes. Firstly, the new Alto will be based on Maruti’s Heartect platform that underpins other models like the Celerio and WagonR. Hence, the new Alto will be bigger in every dimension. As per the leaked document, the new Alto will measure 3,530mm in length, 1,490mm in width, 1,520mm in height and get a wheelbase of 2,380mm.
