In the frontal impact test, the Alto K10 offered good protection to the driver and co-driver’s neck. The protection provided to the driver and co-driver’s chest was found marginal. Furthermore, while the driver’s knee showed marginal protection, the co-driver’s knee received weak protection with a possible impact with dangerous structures behind the fascia.

In the side impact crash test, the Alto K10 offered good protection to the head and pelvis region whereas protection for abdomen and chest was found adequate and weak, respectively.
