Maruti Alto K10

Key Features of Maruti Alto K10

• 
  7-Inch Infotainment System

  One of the standout features inside the all-new Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 is its impressive 7-inch infotainment system. It comes equipped with Smartplay Studio featuring Smartphone Navigation. This means you can effortlessly connect your Bluetooth devices and speakers to this user-friendly touchscreen system. What's more, it supports both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, allowing you to seamlessly integrate your favourite smartphone apps onto the larger screen.

• 
  Digital Speedometer

  Gone are the days of traditional needle-style speedometers. The 2023 Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 introduces a modern digital speedometer. This digital marvel not only displays your speed but also provides you with a trip meter, odometer, fuel gauge, and clock. Think of it as a little onboard computer, keeping you informed and in control.

• 
  Steering-Mounted Audio and Voice Control

  Safety meets convenience with the steering-mounted audio and voice control feature. Now you can keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. This nifty addition enables you to manage the car's audio system and issue voice commands, minimizing distractions and enhancing road safety.

• 
  Auto Gear Shift Technology (AGS)

  AGS technology is a breakthrough in automatic transmission. It's like having a co-pilot in your car, thanks to its computer and sensor-driven gear shifts. This feature is a breath of fresh air, especially in the midst of traffic jams. It's all about making your drive smoother and less stressful.

• 
  4-Speaker Sound System

  In a first for its segment, the 2023 Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 comes equipped with a 4-speaker sound system. This means your music is going to sound better than ever. Clearer audio, richer bass – even at lower volumes. Your drive just got its own personal soundtrack.

• 
  Reverse Parking Sensor

  Parking just got a whole lot easier, thanks to the reverse parking sensor. It's a boon for new drivers or anyone who finds parking in tight spots a challenge. No more anxious moments while manoeuvring – this feature helps prevent collisions and car damage.

• 
  Dual Front Airbags

  Safety is paramount, and the Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 takes it seriously. Dual front airbags are onboard, reducing the risk of head, neck, and chest injuries in the event of a collision. They act as a protective cushion between you and the car's interior, cushioning the impact and minimizing injury risk.

Maruti Alto K10 Detailed Review

Design 9

The Alto K10 is an all new car from the ground up. Maruti has played it safe with the design and modern day buyers might not get attracted by it. That said, the K10 has a huge following in smaller towns and cities and this is where crowds will walk into Maruti Areas showrooms. Unlike the Kwid and S-Presso, the K10 does not enjoy a significant road presence. This also evident on the dimensions front with the K10 being shorter (in length) and narrower than both the S-Presso and the Kwid.

Up front, the grille is rather huge and the design of the headlights do remind a lot of us of the Santro! The bumper does not offer any provision for fog lamps, not even after market ones. Side profile is plain and sober and round-ish tail lights finish the package. The Alto K10 rides on small 13-inch wheels and even the top spec VX+ model gets narrow 145mm wide tyres and no alloy wheels. On offer are as many as six colours and an array of accessories that you can pick and add to the final cost at the showroom level itself. 

Do note that unlike the (almost) similarly priced S-Presso, the Alto K10 does not get body coloured outside mirrors. 

Summary

Well balanced design theme that will appeal to a wider audience, especially in smaller towns and cities.

Alto K10 body specifications:

Wheel Size	R13
Seating Capacity	5 & 4 seaters
Ground Clearance	167 mm
Boot Space	214 liters

Interior 8

Like the design, the cabin is also all new. You will be amazed with the amount of space this little machine has to offer. Although the driver’s seat isn’t adjustable for height and the steering is fixed as well, getting into a good driving posture is easy. The cabin here is all about practicality and airiness. This might not be the most feature loaded small car, but it does have a feel good factor on the inside. Tall adults will also appreciate the amount of space on offer.  

The speedometer console is digital and showcases average fuel economy as well. With the top end VXI+, customers will get steering mounted controls, a good sounding audio set-up and a touch-screen interface that supports Android Auto and CarPlay. The touchscreen works well and the air-con is a chiller. You get two usable cup holders, place to keep your mobile / wallet and a good sized glovebox. Maruti has positioned the front power window switches below the screen and this does free up some space on the door pads. Front seats offer the right amount of space but no as much support though. That said, head room is generous and no blind spots as such. 

Step into the back seat and you will be surprised with the space here. Two well built 6 feet tall people can sit one behind the other and yet the rear passenger will have about 1-2 inches of knee room left. Ditto for the amount of headroom - impressive. That said, the rear bench is best for two adults and a kid. As expected there are now rear air-con vents, bottle holders in the door pads or even adjustable rear head rests. 

Summary

Increased space and well laid out cabin. However some features missing in top model.

Engine 10

As the name suggests, the K10 comes with a 1000cc engine. This is the same unit seen in the updated S-Presso. It puts out 66 PS of power and 89 Nm of torque and is offered with both manual and AGS (AMT) gearbox options. Happy to report that the new model does justice to the ‘K10’ badging. Fire her up and the engine settles down into a smooth idle. Rev her up and the exhaust note gives a hint of what you can expect from the car. Pedal to metal, the new Alto K10 is one fast little hatchback. It loves screaming its lungs out and I’m sure petrol heads will miss the presence of a tachometer in here. 

Thankfully its not just about outright performance but also urban runs where the new K10 shines. Keeping up with flowing traffic or overtaking into gaps is a fun affair and thankfully the gear shifts are smooth as well. The clutch could have been lighter but nothing that will be of any bother. The overall NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) levels are well controlled but noise insulation isn’t the best around. 

The K10 is extremely efficient and driven in flowing traffic with usage of 3rd / 4th gears, it will deliver an easy 15-16 kmpl with the aircon running. 

Summary

Peppy performance, good grunt and very efficient

Alto K10 engine specifications:

Transmission	Manual & Automatic
Mileage	24 kmpl to 34 km/kg
Engine	998 cc
Power	CNG Mode: 55.92 bhp @ 5300 rpm Petrol Mode: 64.36 bhp @ 5500 rpm
Torque	82.1 Nm @ 3400 rpm
Drive Train	FWD

Ride And Handling 8

Small Maruti cars are always known for nimble handling and being easy to drive in traffic. The new model is no different. For starters, the tight turning radius will be a boon and we found out that while driving through narrow plantation roads near Munnar in Kerala. Thanks to its small size and good visibility, closing in on gaps in traffic is also easy. That said, steering effort at a standstill is more than what most will prefer. But it does lighten up once you are past 10-15 km/h and requires less amount of effort. 

The small 13-inch wheels allow for a longer travel suspension. This means the Alto K10 rewards passengers with a good ride quality even on broken roads and over undulations. Some amount of suspension noise does filter into the cabin but overall, for this price point, the set up is excellent. This brand is very popular in hilly terrains and far flung areas and we are sure Maruti has made the suspension very abuse friendly. 

Out on open roads too, the K10 behaves well. Upto speeds of 80-90 km/h, stability is good and the driver has ample confidence. Lastly, the brakes also work well. 

Summary

Great for city runs and narrow roads. Easy to drive too.
