Pros & Cons

Advantages
  • The dual-jet petrol engine in the new Alto K10 offers phenomenal fuel efficiency of around 24.5kmpl - 25kmpl. Just like the Celerio and S-Presso, the Alto K10 will also offer great real-world fuel efficiency, especially in the city. Needless to say, the 1.0L petrol engine in the new Alto K10 is very reliable and dependable, with trust of over a decade.
  • After-sales service is the backbone of Maruti Suzuki in India. The Alto K10 enjoys a reassuring after-sales network and it is very easy to find a qualified technician for Maruti Suzuki cars even in remote locations. In addition to that, the Alto K10, being one of the best-selling cars in India, also enjoys higher resale value because of less depreciation.
  • The Alto K10 is a light hatchback with smaller tyres. The 13-inch wheels on the Alto K10 help in containing the rotating mass and offer better performance and fuel efficiency. The smaller tyres also result in shorter resulting gears, hence, further justifying the peppy personality of the Alto K10.
  • The Alto 800 is currently one of the smallest cars on sale. It measures 3445mm in length and 1490mm in width, making it very compact and easy to drive in tight spaces. It also offers good visibility all around and is easily manoeuvrable inside the city.

  • The Alto 800 offers a fuel efficiency of 22kmpl with its petrol engine and 31.5kmpkg with the petrol CNG option. Since Renault have discontinued the Kwid 0.8L, the Alto 800 has no direct rival.

  • After-sales service is the backbone of Maruti Suzuki in India. The Alto 800 enjoys a reassuring after-sales network and it is very easy to find a qualified technician for Maruti Suzuki cars even in remote locations. In addition to that, the Alto 800, being one of the best-selling cars in India, also enjoys higher resale value because of less depreciation.

  • The Alto 800 offers a factory-fitted CNG option. It offers a claimed fuel efficiency of 31.5kmpkg, making it a very sensible city car for buyers with high running.

Disadvantages
  • The Alto K10 is substantially smaller than its arch rival, the Renault Kwid. The Alto K10 measures 201mm shorter and 89mm narrower than the Renault Kwid. In addition to that, the Kwid also offers 42mm more wheelbase than the Alto K10, which should translate into better interior space than the Alto K10. Furthermore, the Kwid 1.0L also offers marginally better power and torque.
  • The Alto K10 misses out on a few features like rear power windows, rear wiper with washer, rear defogger, reverse parking camera, day/night inside rear view mirror, power mirrors and LED DRLs. In this day and age, we do not expect any car to miss essential features like rear power windows and day/night inside mirror.
  • The LXI variant of the Alto K10 is expensive for what it offers. It misses out on features like music system, 14-inch wheels, wheel covers, remote central locking, front power windows and body-coloured bumpers.
  • The Alto 800 offers 160mm of ground clearance, which doesn’t inspire confidence while tackling bad roads. Its past rival, the Renault Kwid, offered 184mm ground clearance. However, it now only comes with a 1.0L normal petrol engine.

  • The Alto 800 gets small 12-inch wheels, which are currently the smallest of any passenger car on sale. The 145-section tyre width is also quite narrow and further ruin its road presence. While the Kwid 0.8L is no longer available, it offered 165/70 R14 tyres even in its base variant, thus setting a new benchmark.

  • The 0.8L engine of the Alto 800 produces 41PS of power at 6000rpm and 60Nm of torque at 3500rpm. These outputs are inadequate for highway driving and make the Alto 800 strictly a city car.

  • The Alto 800 seems quite pricey considering that it’s an old product. The new Alto K10 costs a little more and justifies the price gap over the Alto 800 with better performance, mileage, ground clearance, cabin space and fresh styling.
