What does the new Maruti Alto K10 look like? 

The new Alto K10 is based on Maruti’s Heartect platform and is longer and taller than the existing Alto. This is our first look at the hatchback’s sleek front end with its wide grille and large halogen headlights. 

In the profile, the new Alto’s Celerio-inspired styling cues are more apparent. It has an upright tailgate at the rear flanked by cutesy oversized taillights.

The new compact hatchback will offer two trim packages for accessorising the vehicle. The first is a chrome package with chrome-finish side mouldings, window visors, and garnishes for the bumpers, tailgate, headlights and taillights. 

Alternatively, a sportier trim package will add more subtle red and black trim bits to the hatchback including a spoiler. These embellishments are likely to be offered as individual accessories as well.

The Maruti Alto K10 will be equipped with a 1-litre K10C Dualjet petrol engine that’s also found in the Celerio and S-Presso hatchbacks. We expect an output of 67PS and 89Nm, and a CNG version will also be available. The K10C engine will be paired with a 5-speed manual transmission as standard with an AMT automatic option available on select variants.
