Maruti 800
Maruti 800 comes in two variants - Maruti 800
Standard and Maruti 800 AC / Deluxe. Maruti 800 is the most popular
entry segment car in India. With the introduction of Maruti 800 in
1980s, Maruti Udyog Limited broke the hegemony of Ambassador and Fiat in
the Indian car market.
Maruti 800 has great fuel efficiency and very low maintenance cost. The
small size and low turning radius of the car makes it easy to drive in
the heavy traffic of big cities.
Maruti 800 comes with basic safety features such as collapsible
steering columns, laminated windshields and high mount stop lamp.
