Alto K10 -Now bigger and better ? first impression

Maruti Suzuki has launched the all new Alto K10 which is one of the loved car especially for the middle class family and those who wanted the budget freindly yet cute looking car with the great milage . And now there is a good news for the Alto Lovers.

Today we are reviewing the Alto K10 top model

The front facia has been updated with a bigger grilles , newly refreshed headlamps and for enhancing the look you get the chrome finish right in the middle of the Headlamps which turn out to be Halogen . downwards you get the chrome finish skid plates with the smaller grilles on downward, but the fog lamp is missing keeping the bumpers plain . on the side you get the black cladding with the 13 inch Diamond alloys , which in my opinion is good and i feel like it has now become common in this segment cars top model , be it the Celerio zxi or the Santro top model and many more .13 inch alloys has been on offer , black orvms with manual control stick , coming on the rear side you get the similar looking Tailamp which was seen in previous gen two with little bit of twerk . Another great think which i feel is that the height of the car is now bigger compared to previous one . And yeah in some sense it looks similar to one of its sibling -newly launched Celerio .

The interior is also upgraded and descent enough where you get the pocket friendly 7 inch smart play infotainment with android and apple car paly , Power Steering wheel with Bluetooth , phone connectivity and more just like the Celerio .Unlike the previous gen you get the digital instrument cluster ,for you to be in good mood , you do get 4 speakers Well the feature list is almost similar to all new Celerio and some other Maruti cars . The seats are quite good looking and nice . Boot space has been compromised compared to the Alto 800 which is 214 liters in K10 . Power window only available in front no rear. Why is the company doing this ?

, The safety Featuers include 2 airbags , driver and passenger even in the top model , i don’t know why ? But Some great things added are rear parking sensor , Engine immobilizer , crash sensor , EBD , speed sensing auto door lock and impact sense unlocking door sensor and more or less available depending on the variants .

Currently Alto K10 gets a 3 cylinder Petrol Engine in 5 speed Manual and auto transmission generating Max Power of 65.71bhp@5500rpm and Max Torque of 89nm@3500rpm. To be honest i did not like this thing or cost cutting of engines as well , in my opinion at least 2 engines should have been offered , one for Manual and one for Auto and currently it is available in purely petrol engine , no company fitting CNG .

Now comes the main factor the Mass public and that is The price point , well The new K10 has been offered in 6 different variant as STD , LXI , VXI,VXI AT , VXI PLUS and VXI PLUS AT .The price of the Alto K10 has been placed between 4.65 lakh and 6.76 lakhs on road in Thane (*terms and conditions apply *) price may vary depending on the city you live .

but in my opinion i dont feel like that top model is worth 6.76 because of lot of features are not there like rear power window , only 2 airbags , no projector . which i feel like should have been offered . What are you thoughts let us know .
