India’s most popular hatchback is back in a new avatar. Launched at a starting price of Rs 3.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the new-generation Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 offers an updated interior, powertrain and feature list. Here is ‘everything you need to know’.
2022 Maruti Suzuki Alto K10: Exterior Design
Compared to the outgoing model, the new car comes with a radical new styling. While the car has gained heft, the Alto legacy is maintained with the design cues carried forward from previous generation cars. The four-wheeler now gets a more upright stance courtesy the new HEARTECT platform.
The outside of the vehicle is characterised by a more prominent front grille with honeycombed grille, sweptback headlamp units and a reprofiled bumper. Towards the side we see clean lines along with a new design for the 13-inch steel wheel covers. The rear section of the four-wheeler is similar to Celerio but is differentiated by a new set of taillights and bumper design.
Excluding this, the Alto K10 is a simple yet functional design.
