Then today’s blog is going to be very special for you, because today we have brought the Maruti Alto K10 VXI Plus.
Although this car starts from ₹3.70 lakh, in this blog we will specifically discuss the top model, which comes at an ex-showroom price of ₹5 lakh.
In today’s blog, we will discuss this car in detail and find out whether buying this car is worth it or not, and what extra features you get in the Alto k10 VXI Plus compared to the VXI.
First Impression & Keys Design
So friends, let’s start our review. We have brought for all of you the most demanding solid white color.
If you are planning to keep the Maruti Alto K10 VXI Plus for 8 to 10 years, then this color will be the best option for you.
So friends, first of all, let’s talk about the keys of this car. If you go for the Alto k10 VXI, then you get basic keys where you have to insert them to unlock the car.
But if you go for the top model of the Alto, then you get remote keys just like the ones in the Celerio and Wagon R.
Front Look & Design
So friends, now let’s talk about the front look.
If you see this car from the front, it will look very simple, and the most special thing is that in white color, the grille of this car looks very good on the Alto k10, and it even looks like it is modified.
In the center, you will get the Maruti Suzuki badging.
In this car, you get a halogen headlight setup whether you choose the base model or the top model—halogen lights are what you will get, and these will handle both low beam and high beam on the highway.
Also, you do not get fog lamps in this car, whether you look at the base model or the top model.
In the front, you also get a spoiler, along with a washer and two wipers in this car. So this is the front profile of the Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 VXI Plus.
Tyres, Wheels & Suspension
So now friends, let’s talk about its side profile. This car is around 3.5 meters long, with a total length of 3550 mm.
It is quite a small car and will be one of the best options for a small family.
If you look at the LXI variant, you will get basic mirrors, but in the Alto k10 VXI and Alto VXI Plus, you will get the same mirrors which can be adjusted from inside.
However, you will have to fold or unfold these mirrors manually. You also get turn indicators on the body, whether you look at the base model or the top model.
Now let’s talk about the tyres. You get JK tyres in this car with a size of 145/80 R13.
In the front, you get a disc setup, and in the rear, you get a drum setup. In the top model, you get black-colored wheels, while in the base model, you get silver-colored wheels.
In the front, you are provided with very good MacPherson Strut suspension, and the same suspension is also available in the rear.
Maruti Suzuki uses this suspension in most of its cars, so if you are going on a tour, you will not face any problem from the suspension side.
And in this car, you get a ground clearance of 167 mm, which is sufficient for Indian roads.
Rear Profile & Boot Space
So friends, now let’s talk about its rear profile. From the rear, this car looks quite good, and in white color, any car tends to look even more attractive.
First of all, let’s talk about the boot. Even if you want, you cannot open it manually—you will have to insert the key to open it.
Now let me tell you what extra features you get in the Alto k10 VXI Plus. In all the models below this, you do not get a parcel tray, but in the top model, you do get it.
If you need more boot space, the seats can also be folded 100%. Talking about boot space, you get around 214 liters of space. So this is the rear boot space of the car.
Even in the top model, you do not get a rear wiper or defogger in this car. You do get a large tail lamp unit, which includes the turn signal, reverse light, and parking light.
In the rear profile, you also get the Maruti Suzuki and Alto K10 badging. You get two parking sensors, an exhaust at the bottom, and a rear towing hook on the side.
Door Features & Seats Comfort
So friends, now let’s talk about the interior and doors.
In this car, you will have to manually adjust the (ORVMs) Outside Rear View Mirrors by hand. The doors of this car come with a full plastic finish.
The inner door handles are available with a silver insert. You also get a bottle holder, and along with that, you get speakers in this car.
Talking about the seats of this car, you get normal fabric-upholstered seats whether you look at the base model or the top model.
You also get four-way adjustable seats in this car.

You get media controls as well as telephonic controls inside this car.
Talking about the screen, you get a 7-inch touchscreen that supports all features like Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Engine Specifications & Mileage
So friends, now let’s talk about the engine of this car, because the mileage that this car is going to deliver might surprise you a bit.
This car comes with a 1-liter K10 engine.
You get a 1000cc engine in this car, which is also used in the Wagon R and Celerio. This engine is quite reliable and refined.
Talking about the power specs, this car produces 65.71 bhp of power and around 90 Nm of torque.
So friends, now let’s talk about the mileage of this car. It delivers around 25 km/l in petrol (ARAI claimed) and about 34 km/l in CNG, which we have personally tested.
In the Indian market, at this price point, you won’t find such high mileage along with this level of reliability.
Conclusion

In this price range, you get decent features, good mileage, and Maruti’s trusted service network, which makes it a safe choice.

If your main focus is mileage, low maintenance, and a simple daily-use car, then this car can be a solid option for you.
But if you want a more premium feel or extra safety features, then you should consider other options as well.
