Alto K10 Price: Which Variant Costs How Much?

The starting ex-showroom price of the Maruti Alto K10 starts at ₹ 4.23 lakh, and the top model goes up to ₹ 6.21 lakh. The car is available in 8 variants from the STD model to the top model VXI S-CNG. The on-road price may vary depending on the city and RTO.

Engine, Performance, and Mileage

Key Technical Specifications:

• Engine: 998cc, 3-cylinder petrol/CNG
• Power: 55.92 to 65.71 bhp
• Torque: 82.1 Nm to 89 Nm
• Gearbox: Manual and automatic options

Mileage: 24.39 kmpl in petrol and around 33 kmpl in CNG

This is the same engine that powers the Celerio, but you can feel the agility of the Alto K10 owing to its lighter weight. Be it a manual or AMT (automatic), both transmissions are smooth.

Driving Experience and Ride Quality

Alto K10 is an excellent first-time car for any buyer. The steering is light, with smooth gear shifts and easy manoeuvrability even on narrow roads. The ride quality has been satisfying, as the suspension does a good job absorbing big potholes.

One thing we wish to point out is that during high-speed runs, the engine does feel a little noisy and there are vibrations inside the cabin after the 3000 RPM mark.

Exterior Design – New Style, New Look

The Alto K10 now looks bigger and much more attractive than ever. The teardrop head lamps, large bumper, and sharp cuts up front impart it a rather fresh appeal. Side-on, it appears 85 mm longer and 55 mm taller than the Alto 800. Its 13-inch wheels also go well with its proportions.

To make the car even more stylish, the company also offers Glinto and Impacto exterior packs.

How is the Alto K10 from the inside?

Interior Design and Features:

• V-shaped centre console, which gives a modern look
• 7-inch touchscreen: Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support
• Bluetooth connectivity, digital instrument cluster
• Steering-mounted controls, power steering
• Air conditioner and front power windows

In general, the dashboard layout is nice, and the buttons and switches are easily accessible. However, some drawbacks are the driver seat or steering height won’t be adjustable.

Rear-seat experience and storage space

The biggest surprise is that there is lot of knee and head space available on the rear seat. Even a six-foot tall can sit comfortably here. There is no storage, though, for the pillion riders – no door pockets, no cup holders, none at all, just seat back pockets.

Boot Space – Small but Useful

The boot space of the Alto K10 is 214 litres-more than the 177 litres of the Alto 800. Luggage space can be further increased by folding the rear seat.

Safety Features

• Dual Airbags
• ABS with EBD
• Rear parking sensors

It lacks some features like a rear camera and electric ORVMS.
