Now Maruti Suzuki has decided to offer ABS to their Alto 800 and Alto K10 models. It will still be offered as an option pack and will not be available in the base model as standard equipment.

Currently the Japanese manufacturer offers driver-side airbags in both models. It is available only in their top-end trim and ABS too will be offered in these models.

The Alto 800 and Alto K10 models are exported from India to international markets. These models are offered with dual airbags and ABS as standard safety equipment.
