2022 Maruti Alto K10 || Questioning Safety? || Exclusive Details

Maruti Suzuki has launched the new Alto K10. Before hitting the market, the company has started shipping the model to its Arena dealerships. The exterior and interior design of the new Alto K10 has not only been changed, but the engine has also been given a new one. Let’s take a look at its specifications.

Alto K10 Exterior

It gets a massive hexagonal grille in the bumper with a honeycomb-patterned design in black, raised bonnet and fenders, somewhat oval-shaped halogen headlights with integrated turn signals, and square-shaped halogen taillights. However, it is surprising to note that the hatchback neither features daytime running lights nor fog lamps. While it comes with 145/80 R13 section tyres, Maruti used to offer a set of 150/80 R13 in the previous model.

Alto K10 Interior

Maruti Suzuki has given it an all-black interior scheme with silver inserts on the steering wheel, dashboard, and door handles. However, the most significant changes come in the form of a digital instrument cluster, seven-inch SmartPlay Studio touchscreen infotainment, and a redesigned steering wheel with audio and voice command controls. This infotainment system features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Alto K10 Engine and Performance

The new Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 is powered by the new K10C 1.0-litre, inline-three, naturally aspirated petrol engine mated to a five-speed manual or AMT transmission. It delivers 66bhp at 5,500rpm and 89Nm of torque at 3,500rpm. The new K10C engine makes the merest improvement in the claimed fuel efficiency figures over the old K10B motor. For instance, the K10C can return 24.39kmpl with manual and 24.90kmpl with AMT. Whereas, the fuel economy figure of the previous model was rated at 24.07kmpl for both manual and AMT transmission.

Alto K10 Price

Prices for the Alto K10 start at Rs. 3,99,000 (ex-showroom), going all the way up to Rs. 5,83,500.
