Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which is the better car, Maruti Alto K10 or Hyundai Grand i10 Nios?
  • Both cars are great in their own forte. 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 likable 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. On the other hand, Hyundai cars are packed with features to the brim; and as per the Nios’ competition and price range, it’s well equipped. The pre- facelift’s highlighted features included a smooth-operating eight-inch touchscreen system, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a wireless charger, automatic AC, and rear AC vents. New additions like automatic headlamps, cruise control, a tweaked instrument cluster, a USB Type-C fast charger, and blue footwell ambient lighting add to the convenience and make it better to be seated in. It has been three years since Hyundai launched the Grand i10 Nios, and this facelift came just in time. It’s still known for its stylish look, premium cabin, refined and smooth engine, and good drive quality. 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. Which one is the best Alto K10 or Celerio?
  • Both the cars are amazing in their own forte. Maruti Alto K10 the carmaker has equipped it with a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, keyless entry, digitized instrument cluster, steering mounted controls, and manually adjustable ORVMs. On the other hand, Maruti Celerio has a spacious and comfortable cabin, a peppy engine with high fuel efficiency, and a practical feature list. The reason to buy the Celerio remains singular you need an easy-to-drive city hatchback with lots of fuel efficiency. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test drive so that you can check the performance and comfort of the car. You may click on the given link to check out the nearest authorized dealership details as per your city.
Q. Which variant is best iin Alto 2022?
  • If you want features like fog lamps, a 7-inch touchscreen system, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, four speakers, a digital speedometer, front door power windows, steering-mounted audio controls, manual AC, and remote keyless entry then you may opt for Alto K10 VXi Plus.

    A Stylish City Cruiser with Room for Improvement 

    This January, I decided to take my newly purchased Kia Sonet to meet my parents to Jaipur. The 1.5L diesel engine with 115 PS power and 250 Nm of torque made the highway ride incredibly smooth. But as much as I loved the modern look and feel, I hit a few bumps throughout the way. The rear seating, though adequate for short trips, felt little bit cramped for my taller friends and that cause some discomfort.

    superb drive quality 

    I was quite lucky to take a test drive of kia sonet model and it was such a mesmerizing experience that it convinced my mind to buy it. I got that from the same showroom at an affordable price. It is not at all expensive and worth the features. It comprises of modern technologies but at the same time makes it difficult for me to take controls over the touchscreen which is quite confusing. The interior is quite cozy and comfortable, roomier than it was.

    when style meets class 

    All i can say is that it has been built differently and the exterior design steals the attention on the road. The seat is very soft and comfortable. It has a very powerful motor that brings out the actual potential of this car. I have never faced jerks or vibrations while driving it. It has always been smooth throughout.

    Sonet dynamism 

    The Kia Sone­t is an affordable car. It costs less than other similar cars. The­ Sonet is good on gas and has a nice interior with lots of fe­atures. But some parts don't fee­l very sturdy. And it can be a bumpy ride on rough roads. Still, the­ Sonet is a great value ove­rall. It is perfect for driving around town. I have drive­n the Sonet for some time­ now. And I think it is quite impressive for the­ price.

    Big Personality 

    The Kia Sone­t is a compact SUV. I have driven it for some time­. It has many features at a low price. The­ design looks stylish. The inside is comfortable­. It costs less than other SUVs like it. This make­s it a good value. But the back seats are­ a bit small. The engine ge­ts noisy when driving fast. Overall, the Kia Sone­t is a great choice. It is reliable­ and affordable for a small SUV.
