Maruti 800 Standard (Petrol)

Drive to your office in style in the Maruti 800 - India's most preferred car manufacturer. A Maruti car in India is an ideal family as well as personal choice any time. Spend a few minutes to read the New Maruti 800 Standard (Petrol) Review here.

It is the most compact car available in the Indian market. For many years, it was India's largest selling car, but it has now slipped to second place with another model Alto from the Maruti Stable now taking the lead.

Featuring a compact 4 gear manual transmission 4-stroke water cooled 800 cc SOCH engine, it delivers a maximum output of 37 BHP at 5000 rpm and 59 kg-m at 2500 rpm. Despite the compactness, it comes with a 28 litre fuel tank capacity, which is adequate for the Maruti 800 due to its high fuel efficiency.

With a seating capacity of 4 people, the M800 is capable of delivering an amazing fuel efficiency of around 18.7 kmpl on the highway, and 13.1 kmpl in city driving conditions, giving a respectable fuel economy of around 14.2 kmpl overall. Many owners have even reported higher fuel economy if the car is properly maintained and utilised.

The Maruti 800 comes with R-12 tyres as standard fitment. The front suspension is McPherson strut and coil spring, while the real is coil spring with gas filled shock absorbers. The steering is the standard rack and pinion, while the front brakes are disc type with the rear brakes being Drum type.

It is the chosen car in the entry level segment for families wishing to upgrade from two-wheelers and wish to own a family car. The Maruti 800 offers a great value for money and a thrilling driving experience for its price and features that it provides.

For a car that is this small, it comes with some vastly improved exterior and interior equipment. Exterior features standard to this model include RHS outside rear view mirror and green tinted glass. The interiors are comfortably designed with reclining and sliding front seats, sun visors on both sides, front and rear assist grips, moulded rear view mirror, dual tone interior upholstery, moulded roof lining and others.

Standard electrical equipment consists of three-position cabin light, airflow controls, windshield washer, clear lens lamps, and clear lens rear combination lamps, and halogen bulbs.

The M800 offers comprehensive safety features like side impact beams, laminated windshield, additional body reinforcements, collapsible steering column, front and real seat belts, and head lamp levelling device.

In a nutshell, it's a great car that is affordable and economical to use and maintain. Its compactness is best utilised in city conditions, that's why it is truly India's city car given the traffic snarls and rough driving conditions! What's more, you get a choice of fie exciting colours - Icy Blue, Caribbean Blue, Superior White, Silky Silver, and Bright Red. The Maruti 800 comes as an AC variant as well.
