Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 Review
Busting myths, changing mindsets and reinventing car segments, this is what Maruti Suzuki is all about these days. India’s number one carmaker may sound like author Dan Brown’s fictional character Robert Langdon, but they really are busy decoding the A2 segment and unearthing new revelations. They’ve got a surprisingly good response to the AMT(Automated Manual Transmission) variant of their latest hatch, the Celerio – and so the new Alto K10 is the next small car that gets this gearbox. So, I decided to do Alto K10 Review to figure out how does it fare.
The first thing that I noticed during our Alto K10 Review was that the Alto K10 had lost its cute look. It now dons a more mature face, with an aggressive front fascia. The nose is tapered and is garnished with a dash of chrome. New sweptback headlights remind me a bit of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The wedged profile is a mirror image of the Alto 800, but the overall shape offers improved aerodynamics over the previous K10 – and Maruti claims that the fuel efficiency has gone up by over 15% as a result. At the rear, the tailgate is now wider and the lamps get the customary jewel-like effect.
