5 Pros of 2022 Maruti Alto K10
- Peppy Engine: The new Alto comes with a 1.0-litre engine that makes 66 hp and 89 Nm of torque which is the same as the Celerio. Hence, the engine has become quite powerful even for a car with small dimensions and weight.
- Great Mileage: Maruti claims an ARAI-rated mileage of 24.90 km/l for AMT and 24.39 km/l for MT. For the buyers in this segment, mileage is the main reason.
- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto: Connectivity is also on the priority list for a whole bunch of buyers in this age. The new Alto offers Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to seamlessly connect your smartphone and use the apps in the car.
- Legroom and Interior Space: Due to the new platform, the interior space for legs and luggage has increased in the new Alto enhancing the convenience of the passengers.
- AMT Gearbox: Having to NOT worry about working the gears in heavy traffic conditions is a boon. The new Alto K10 comes with an AMT transmission which takes the pressure off the driver.

5 Cons of 2022 Maruti Alto K10
- No Day/Night Option for IRVM: This Alto comes with a regular IRVM which doesn’t offer the option to flip it to prevent the lights of the car behind you at the night from hitting your eyes.
- Price: The price of the top model is Rs 5.83 lakh, ex-showroom. The on-road price will be above Rs 6 lakh which is a bit too high for an Alto.
- No Rear Power Windows: Even on the top VXi+ trim, there is no option of power windows for the rear passengers. This can be a bit annoying for the passengers as they will have to roll up/down the window manually.
- Under-thigh Support: The under-thigh support for the passengers is a bit insufficient. It is certainly not a deal-breaker but it is something worth mentioning.
- Placement of Front Power Window Switches: The switches for the front power windows are placed on the centre console which is a bit awkward. These were the 5 pros and cons of the 2022 Maruti Alto K10.
