Available in a variety of vibrant colors, this new version promises to appeal to younger buyers looking for a blend of style and practicality.
A New Engine
Under the hood, the Alto K10 gets a significant upgrade with the addition of a new, more powerful 1.0L K-series petrol engine. This engine delivers an improved output of around 67 bhp, offering a noticeable performance boost compared to the previous version, all while maintaining excellent fuel efficiency.
The Alto K10 comes with a choice of a 5-speed manual or automated manual transmission (AMT), catering to those who prefer a more effortless, city-friendly driving experience.
The engine is paired with an efficient fuel-injection system, ensuring better power delivery and optimal fuel consumption. As expected from the Alto brand,
the new K10 is designed to offer a smooth, comfortable, and peppy drive, making it perfect for both daily commutes and weekend getaways.
Feature-Packed Interior: Comfort and Convenience at its Core
Inside, the Alto K10 has undergone a complete transformation. The cabin is more spacious than ever, with improved legroom and headroom for both front and rear passengers.
The dashboard is modern, with a floating touchscreen infotainment system that supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for seamless smartphone integration.
The higher trim variants also come with features like power windows, remote central locking, and steering-mounted controls for added convenience.
Tata Motors has focused on making the interior feel more premium with updated upholstery, a refreshed instrument cluster, and soft-touch materials on the dashboard.
The Alto K10 offers a practical boot space for its class, making it perfect for city use, whether it’s for groceries or a short weekend trip.
Advanced Safety Features
Maruti Suzuki has not compromised on safety with the new Alto K10. The car is equipped with dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, and rear parking sensors as standard across all variants.
Higher trims get additional safety features, such as reverse parking camera and speed alert system, ensuring peace of mind for the driver and passengers.
The Alto K10 also features stronger crash protection, thanks to its improved platform that meets higher crash safety standards. This focus on safety, combined with Maruti’s reputation for reliability, makes the Alto K10 one of the safest choices in the entry-level hatchback category.
Eco-Friendly and Fuel Efficient
Fuel efficiency has always been a core strength of the Alto brand, and the new K10 continues this tradition. With the new 1.0L engine,
The Alto K10 offers an impressive mileage of 24.9 km/l (ARAI certified), making it an ideal choice for budget-conscious buyers who are also looking for a car that’s light on fuel consumption.
In addition to the efficient powertrain, the Alto K10 is equipped with the latest Eco Mode, which helps optimize fuel efficiency during daily drives by adjusting the engine’s performance to maximize fuel savings.
Affordability and Market Position
With its starting price positioned very competitively, the Alto K10 is expected to continue its legacy as one of the most affordable and practical choices in the small car segment.
The combination of a modern design, improved features, and excellent performance makes it an attractive proposition for first-time car buyers, young professionals, and families looking for a cost-effective, no-compromise vehicle.
Maruti Suzuki has also introduced an updated warranty package, offering extended coverage and ensuring that owners can enjoy peace of mind for years to come. The easy availability of spare parts and the extensive service network of Maruti Suzuki across India further enhances the Alto K10’s appeal.
