Maruti Alto K10 Overview

The Maruti Alto K10 has been India's volume-seller for decades, and for good reason — it consistently offers one of the lowest purchase prices of any new car in India while delivering Maruti's trademark reliability and access to the nation's widest service network.

With its 998cc K-series engine and available CNG option, the Alto K10 delivers real-world mileage that is among the highest of any car on sale in India, making it particularly economical for high-frequency city commuters.

It's a straightforward, honest car — not loaded with features, not sporty, not spacious — but genuinely practical for urban daily use where parking, manoeuvrability and low costs matter most.
