Small Cars make a major part of car sales in India and the leader in this segment is Maruti Alto, which is no less than a trump card for Maruti Suzuki India. There are only few competitors to Alto in true sense. Hyundai is also on the road to bring their small car Hyundai 800 or Hyundai HA which will be launched before end of 2011 to rival Alto. The other cars like Chevrolet Spark, Hyundai Santro, etc. are priced slightly above the price bracket of the Alto.
