With winter in full swing, snow-covered mountains and hills have become a major tourist attraction. Many visitors choose to explore these picturesque sceneries using their personal vehicles. However, driving on surfaces covered with black ice is a challenging task, as demonstrated in a viral video on social media where ‘Lord Alto’ won the match.
The Instagram video begins with a black Mahindra Thar attempting to go uphill on a route with water flowing down. The SUV struggles to gain traction, followed by a Maruti Suzuki Jimny facing similar difficulties. Shortly after, a Suzuki Gypsy takes the same path, also experiencing minimal traction.

Unexpected Success of Maruti Suzuki Alto
Surprisingly, a Maruti Suzuki Alto, equipped with a front-wheel-drive system, effortlessly climbs the hill. Despite being an underdog compared to specialized off-road vehicles, the Alto’s success can be attributed to its lightweight and the driver’s skill in avoiding slippery surfaces. Additionally, chains on its front tires enhance traction, a common technique for driving on snow-covered surfaces.
Viral Video Gains Popularity
The video has garnered over 238,000 likes on social media, likely due to the Alto’s improbable triumph over renowned off-road vehicles like the Mahindra Thar and Maruti Suzuki Jimny. The clip’s popularity has earned the hatchback the title “Lord Alto” among enthusiasts.
