In addition to this, Maruti Suzuki has also opened the bookings for the new Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 hatchback, and the booking amount is capped at Rs 11,000. It is also worth mentioning that the new Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 hatchback will be sold alongside the outgoing Maruti Suzuki Alto 800 hatchback.
When launched, the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 hatchback will not be having much competition in the segment as most entry-level hatchbacks from other manufacturers have been discontinued due to low sales. At present, the only remaining competition for the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 hatchback from another manufacturer is the Renault Kwid.
Though Maruti Suzuki has not revealed any more details about the upcoming new Maruti Suzuki Alto K10, details about the upcoming new Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 hatchback have been leaked online.
Also, the latest leaked information confirms that the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 hatchback will come in 12 variants, however, the leaked NCT registration documents reveal that the upcoming hatchback will be available in just 11 variants.
According to the leaked NCT registration documents, 6 of these variants will be equipped with the tried-and-tested 5-speed manual gearbox, whereas the remaining variants will be equipped with the automaker's latest 5-speed AMT unit (AGS).
Also, the latest leaked information reveals the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 hatchback is based on the new modular Heartect platform and this shows in its dimensions as the new Alto K10 hatchback is visibly larger than the Maruti Suzuki Alto 800.
Moreover, according to the leaked specifications from the NCT registration document, the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 hatchback measures 3,530mm long, 1,490mm wide, and 1,520mm tall. Also, the wheelbase of the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 hatchback measures 2,380mm - hinting at a far more roomier interior.
In terms of design, the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 hatchback looks more like a design cross between the Alto 800 and the new Celerio hatchback, but the overall design looks pretty good and looks proportionate as well.
We also expect the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 hatchback to come with features such as a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Connectivity, power adjustable ORVMs, steering mounted controls, and a few more.
In terms of powertrain, the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 hatchback will be powered by the same 1.0-litre, naturally-aspirated, 3-cylinder petrol engine as other Maruti Suzuki hatchbacks such as the new Celerio, and Wagon R 1.0. This engine is expected to produce 65.7bhp of peak power at 5,500rpm and 89Nm of torque at 3,500rpm.
