Advantages of Maruti Alto K10:
  1. Alto K10 has a great pickup and no sluggish feel with AC on like we used to feel with previous variants of Maruti Alto.
  2. The K-10 model has good strong foggies, tachometer in newly designed instrument cluster; 13” tires look good when fitted with alloys, smooth gear shift again better than the previous rough gear shift in old Altos.
  3. Alto K10 has 1000 cc engine, 200 more cc from previous versions. This car can be precisely compared with WagonR and Estilo (Swift is better).
  4. With K10, you can experience some throttle even at low RPMs (800-1200) on third gear at 10 to 15 kilometers per hour.
  5. If you buy New Alto K10 Vxi, you will get a Pioneer 4290 head unit, a JBL GT5-S204 (4” for dashboard), a JBL GTO-938 (6”x9” oval for rear plank), power windows, body side molding, an autocop remote security system, front fog lamps, Plati India 13” alloy wheels, a dual-tone horn, manual central locking, sporty and trendy looks, body colored wide bumpers, low cost of ownership, Maruti’s trust, better mileage up to 17 kmpl in cities and up to 22 kmpl on highways without AC (with AC you can minus 2 kmpl), refreshed interiors, all at a price tag of approximately 348000 on road for metallic and 345000 on road for non-metallic.
  6. You can choose from a range of beautiful colors like sunlight copper, superior white, silky silver, midnight black, ecru beige, and fire black red. Currently, I can see sunlight copper’s on road most of the time, as the color is very appealing.
  7. Pickup is really good so people upgrading to Alto K10 from Old Alto should drive very carefully during initial days.
  8. AC is as usual super cool. No drop in acceleration when AC is full on.
  9. Temperature meter has gone and is replaced by one warning red light on instrument cluster, so if overheating happens, then the red warning light will flash.
  10. A little more leg space on back.
  11. Rear number plate given by the dealer is very thin and will create sound if you drive above 40 kmph, so it is better to replace it with more sturdy number plate.
  12. ORVMs are black even in Alto K10 VXI, which look really odd as VXI has body colored front and rear bumpers, so you can ask the dealer to body color them for just a charge of 500 INR.
  13. Suspension, brakes have been improved to suit new engine and bigger tires.
  14. Improvement in suspension can be felt, even better than Alto X-Fun Limited Edition which also sold away mostly in sunlight copper color.
