Design
The new Alto is not at all identical to the previous gen model. The new car for the need to offer more headroom and interior space has left its low-slung and went for a tall boy design. Its dimension range at 3,530mm in length, 1,490mm in width, and 1,520m in height making it spacious from the inside. The boot space of the Alto is quite generous at 214 litres which also houses a full-size spare wheel of 145/80R13.

It gets a 7-inch infotainment system with 4 speakers, smartphone connectivity(Android Auto, Apple Car Play), remote door unlock, all 4 power windows, a digital instrument cluster, ample storage places and more. It is available in 4 variants -STD, LXi, VXi and VXi+.
Specifications
The Alto K10 is powered by a 3-cylinder 1.0-litre petrol engine which churns out 66bhp and 89Nm of torque. Transmission options are to choose between a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed AMT gearbox.

Maruti Alto K10 starts at a price of Rs 4.74lakh (on-road, Mumbai) for the standard manual variant. If you wish to get the VXi+ AMT variant it is priced at Rs6.86 lakh (on-road, Mumbai).
