Bookings for the new Alto K10 are already underway for a token amount of ₹11000 and the launch date is set for the 18th of August. Let’s take a look at these features:
The teaser confirms that the new Alto K10 will be offered with an AMT other than the standard 5-speed manual. It also confirms that the new Alto will be equipped with a remote key and a SmartPlay touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple Carplay.

However, its width remains the same at 1490 mm. It has a gross weight of 1,150 kg. The Alto K10 is based on Maruti’s Heartect platform which underpins other small cars from the carmaker. The Alto K10 gets a rounded design many design elements borrowed from the new Celerio. It gets a pair of sweptback halogen headlamps and a large hexagonal grille in the front. Move to the side and you’ll notice the 13-inch wheels and flap-type door handles. The rear is where many people would confuse it with the Celerio thanks to the taillamps. The interior of the Alto K10 gets an all-black theme with an upright dashboard.
The front power window controls are placed below the touchscreen just like the Celerio as well. Other than this, the new Alto K10 offers features such as USB ports, a digital instrument cluster, manual A/C, ABS, dual airbags, and ESP. The new Alto K10 will be powered by the 1.0-liter K10C DualJet engine that produces 67hp and 89Nm. It comes mated to a 5-speed manual or an AMT and also gets idle start/stop for improved fuel efficiency. Expect the hatchback to get class-leading fuel efficiency figures.
