Maruti alto k10
Maruti has retained the same suspension set-up for the Alto k10. However the Alto K10 rides on larger profile 155/60 R13″ rubber. The car absorbs road shock and undulations well at low speeds. But as the speed raises, it insulates less and put the passengers directly in the line of shocks. Wheelbas remains at 2360mm though the length has increased by 125mm. The cabin remains the same, however Maruti has intelligently gained space by shaving the back rest of front seats. Result, the rear passengers has 50mm more knee room. All the seats comes with integrated head rest.
Maruti Alto K10 gets a new three-spoke steering wheel and comes with power steering. It is neither finger touch nor tight. Gear lever and steering wheel doesn’t transmit vibration even at high speeds. For this segment, Alto K10 sports commendable handling chracteristics. Out on the Bangalore highway, the superior flat out performance is complemented by stable handling. On the twisties and hairpin bends to Nandi hills, Alto K10 feels sure footed. We don’t expect an entry level car to behave like a Swift or punto. For this segment, Alto K10 boast commendable handling characteristics. Credit partly goes to lower body profile.
Features:
Power steering,internally adjustable ORVM, power windows for front passengers, stylish gear knob, key reminder, remote boot opener,central locking,accessory socket and remote fuel lid opener. Alto K10 instrument panel comes with amber illuminated speedometer, tachometer and an electronic trip meter. <Plastic quality remains the same. Yet, the vibrant blue colour upholstery and colour coordinated door trim fabric gives an upmarket feel. Storage space is decent — cup holders, twin glove boxes and door pockets. Boot comes with a nice parcel tray. Build quality is also good. <Maruti Alto k10 will come in two variants — Alto k10 lxi and Alto k10 Vxi. Alto k10 comes in sunlight copper (new colour), white, black and ecru beige. Maruti will sell the Alto K10 along with the Alto 800cc. We expect a price increase between Rs30,000 — Rs40,000 for the new Alto k10.
