Maruti Alto 6 Airbags As Standard

With this update, the Maruti Alto K10 is now the most affordable car with six airbags. Up until now, the entry-level hatchback came with just a dual airbag set-up and other safety features, keeping it humble and in line with its price point. Other than this, the hatch also gets three point seatbelts for all the rear passengers, which is again, a big plus for safety.

Maruti Alto K10 although priced towards the starting of the spectrum, offers pretty decent value for the money in terms of features inside the cabin. Since we started off with the safety, it gets 6 airbags, three-point seatbelts for all passengers, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, electronic safety program, central locking, and more. Other convenience and comfort add-ons include a 7-inch touchscreen display with Android Auto/ Apple CarPlay, steering mounted controls, USB, Bluetooth, AUX connectivity, 4 speaker set-up, power windows, and more.
