The ALTO being the best seller for years had a free show across decades mainly because no one dared to play on this turf. Hyundai entered it with EON with a Sober engine and could not fight ALTO head on.
Now we have a Alto Challenger in the pipe line which going by its specs looks promising.
For Kayou,
1. Entry Hatch in a Crossover Guise - Indian always welcomes Higher GC cars.
2. CMF-A platform - Latest Technology , unlike Datsun GO, where they bring in dated models here.
3. Renault Design - Renault always great in this and comparing to Alto, this should be a looker.
4. AMT Promised.
5. No visible Cost Cutting.
6. Makes extraordinary sense of 2nd or 3rd car in the family.
Against Kayou,
1. Renault AfSS Network - yet to grow.
2. No Diesel, though not a con, if had would been a bigger hit.
3. Yet to prove BR8 engine.
4. Tough to break "Entry Car- Maruti Car" Mind Set for first time buyers
