When it comes to entry-level hatchbacks, very few cars can match the Maruti Alto. The Alto K10 has sold around 4.3 lakh units since its launch in 2010, and the total number of Altos sold in the country is a whopping 26 lakh. Not surprisingly, the Alto is the highest-selling product in Maruti’s portfolio. Now, Maruti has made the competent hatchback even more desirable by adding a touch of convenience in the form of an automated manual gearbox.
But before we get to that, lets take a walk around the Alto first. To begin with, the new Alto K10 looks more mature compared to its predecessor. Up front, Maruti has attempted to give the hatchback a wider stance with chrome inserts on that tiny grille, and new swept-back headlamps with silver inserts. The exterior changes are rounded off with new cuts and creases along with new-look mirrors. Some styling cues at the rear establish the car’s connection with the smaller Alto 800.
