Latest News on Mahindra Thar and Maruti Suzuki Alto K10

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 car is better Thar or Gurkha?
  • Thar
  • Both the cars are good in their forte. Thar looks modern with tweaked styling and improved interiors. The drivetrain includes petrol, diesel and automatic options. 4x4 is standard. Washable interiors are a nice touch. The Thar's appeal and promise to take you on great adventures is a big draw but living with it every day will still ask you to make many compromises. As a second car or for those who just need the utility of the 4x4 the Thar’s appeal is undeniable. On the other hand, Gurkha's old-school design, comfortable seating for four, pliant low-speed ride, surprisingly easy to drive in the city, and refined engine. Even when it comes to practicality it is spacious and has comfortable seating for four and unlike its main rival, the Mahindra Thar, it gets a proper boot. The engine is more refined than before, it is surprisingly easy to drive at city speeds, and the low-speed ride is very comfortable which makes it quite good for everyday commutes. But it doesn’t quite have the requisite dual personality which we’ve come to expect of modern cars. For a better understanding of compatibility and driving comfort, we would suggest you to take a test drive. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.Read more -Mahindra Thar Road Test Review: Has The Monster Been Tamed?.-2021 Force Gurkha first drive review: A good alternative to the Thar?.
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.
