Q. Which is better, Maruti Alto 800 or Alto K10?
  • Both cars are great in their own forte. Maruti Alto 800 is a great car which comes at an amazing price point. If you are looking for an entry-level hatchback which is efficient, comfortable and easy on the wallet, the Alto is still hard to beat. On the other hand, Overall, the new Maruti Suzuki K10 really impresses but there are some shortfalls as well. The engine gets vocal at higher revs, there are absolutely no storage spaces for rear seat passengers and there are some key convenience features missing too. Apart from this, the Alto K10 is hard to fault. It is likeable inside out, the engine is powerful with excellent drivability, it has more than space for four people, the ride quality is comfortable and it is extremely easy to drive. The new Alto K10 not feels like a proper upgrade over the 800 but also shines overall as a great product. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
