Maruti Suzuki’s Alto K10 continues to make headlines in the budget car segment. Here’s why:
Premium Look & Features
The new Alto K10 comes with a refreshed premium design, bold front grille, stylish headlights, and compact sporty lines. Inside, it offers modern touches like a touchscreen infotainment system, digital instrument cluster, and comfortable dual-tone interiors—perfect for city driving.
Powerful 998cc Engine
Under the hood, the Alto K10 packs a 998cc 3-cylinder petrol engine, producing around 66 bhp and 89 Nm torque. It’s available with both manual and automatic gearbox options. A CNG variant is also offered, though with slightly reduced power output.
Mileage Claims
- Petrol version delivers around 24–25 km/l in real-world driving.
- The CNG version claims up to 33–34 km/kg, making it one of the most fuel-efficient cars in India.
- The often-quoted 40 km/l claim is more of a marketing exaggeration rather than reality.
Price & “₹1 Lakh” Payment
The actual price of the Alto K10 starts from ₹3.99 lakh to over ₹6 lakh (ex-showroom). However, finance schemes allow buyers to get started with a down payment of just ₹1 lakh, and the rest can be covered through EMIs. This is why many ads highlight the “pay only ₹1 lakh” offer.
Quick Highlights
- Premium compact design with sporty touches
- 998cc engine with peppy city performance
- Fuel-efficient: ~25 km/l (petrol), ~34 km/kg (CNG)
- Easy finance: Start with ₹1 lakh down payment
The Alto K10 remains India’s favourite small car, combining style, mileage, and affordability. Just keep in mind—the ₹1 lakh isn’t the full price, only the initial payment.
