Maruti Suzuki intends to make
this on the same platform as the Gypsy, as a newer version with modern designs
and features. The Gypsy has been a favorite for many Indians over the past two decades for hard core off
road fun. Lets hope the Alpha does equally well on that front. The Alpha seems
to be a decently capable on and off roader, built to absorb bad patches of road
with ease. The muscular stance of the Alpha such as the beefy protruding wheel
arches and the neatly chiseled bonnet lines are said to be derived from the
Indian wrestling tradition, typically with big muscles, strong men and tricky
body locking to win the battle of brawn.
In XAα, the 'Alpha' represents
trendiness and newness that the youth connect to. The 'A' signifies that this
compact, 4 metre long concept, is designed for customers wishing to enter the
utility vehicle segment. The 'X' denotes Cross-over category.
