The new Maruti Alto K10 and its 3 main competitors

Maruti Suzuki recently went into depression mode after its market share in India dipped below 50 percent for the first time ever. India’s best-selling automaker, however, did not sit still. Instead, he worked harder and released a lot of new cars. It launched a new Maruti Alto (the Alto K10), an automatic version of the A-Star and CNG variants of five of its most popular cars, the Alto, WagonR, SX4, Estilo and Eeco. However, this article contains a note about the new Maruti Alto K10 and its top 3 competitors. Keep reading!

The newly launched sibling of the Maruti and India bestseller Alto has been christened the Alto K10. With its most attractive design and outstanding performance, the new car is committed to setting the roads ablaze. The car comes in four variants, the LXi and the VXi and both in metallic versions. The much-hyped K-Series engine has been incorporated into the new car. The 998cc 3-cylinder engine generating an impressive 67PS has been paired with a 5-speed manual slushbox with gearshift by cable. The McPherson Strut at the front and the coil spring suspension at the rear offer the required stability. With features like a child safety lock and a tall rigid unibody frame made of high-strength steel, safety surely doesn’t take the back seat.

General Motors modified the Chevrolet Matiz hatch to create a spark on Indian roads. This is how the Chevrolet Spark was born and it sure presents strong competition to the new Maruti Alto K10. The Spark is available in the following versions: 1.0, 1.0PS, 1.0LS, 1.0LT, 1.0PS LPG and 1.0LS LPG, and they also come in metallic variants. The Chevy Spark gets its power from a 1.0L engine that generates 63 bhp and a maximum torque of 90.3 Nm. This engine is mated with a 5-speed manual gearbox that is standard on all variants. Worth mentioning is the Spark’s ergonomically designed interiors, with comfortable seats and appropriately positioned speedometer and dash.

19.81 seems to be the most appropriate number when talking about the Hyundai i10. 19.81 kmpl is the mileage offered by this high performance car. Meanwhile, the new Alto K10 offers an overall fuel economy of 20.2 kmpl. That’s pretty close and the competition between the two can be very tough. Indians can choose from 20 variants when it comes to the Hyundai i10. However, there are only two main variants, iRDE and Kappa. Furthermore, the variants can be divided into 5 categories; D-lite, Era, Magna, Sportz GLS and Asta. The 2 engine options are: 1.1L iRDE I4 and 1.2L I4.

The Ford Figo is one of the latest hatchbacks that Indians have enthusiastically embraced. On the other hand, the response of the Alto K10 has not yet been measured. The Ford Figo is available to car buyers in both gasoline and diesel forms. The car’s 1.2L DuraTec petrol engine has a maximum torque of 102Nm at 4000rpm, while the 1.4L Duratorq diesel engine has a maximum torque of 160Nm at 2000rpm. To add to the power of the mighty yet lovable Figo, Ford has incorporated a host of safety features like heated air conditioning, power front windows, an adjustable driver’s seat, a Bluetooth phone interface, and much more.
