Recently Asked User Questions

Q. How to best Alto ya celerio?
  • Both the Maruti Alto and Maruti Celerio are great options, but the choice depends on your needs. The Alto was an affordable and fuel-efficient option, ideal for city driving, but it has been discontinued. Meanwhile, the Celerio offers a more spacious cabin, better features, and a more powerful engine for a comfortable ride. We recommend checking the specifications and features on the provided websites to choose the best fit for you.https://www.cardekho.com/carmodels/Maruti/Maruti_Alto_800https://www.cardekho.com/carmodels/Maruti/Maruti_Celerio
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.
Q. Confused between Jaguar XE and Mercedes C Class?
  • Both the cars are luxurious sedans. The new XE is now wider and sits lower, with sharper, slimmer headlamps and taillamps. On the inside, the India-spec model misses out on the TouchPro dual touchscreen system but gets a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. The gear selector dial is replaced with a SportShift selector. This generation of the XE comes with two engines, the P250 petrol and D180 diesel. They make 247PS and 365Nm, and 180PS and 430Nm respectively. Whereas, Mercedes-Benz is all set to reveal the next-gen C-Class on February 23, 2021. The sedan, codenamed W206, will be powered by four-cylinder engines and will feature an S-Class-like interior layout and a redesigned exterior. The interior gets major updates with a new dashboard layout carrying a bigger infotainment screen and digital instrument cluster. It also gets a dual-spoke steering wheel. For a better understanding of compatibility and driving comfort, we would suggest you to take a test drive.
