Alto K10 in Chennai: questions buyers ask
What does the ₹2,250 road safety tax add to an Alto K10?
It is a flat charge on every new car in Tamil Nadu. On a car priced like the Alto K10 Std (O), that makes it a bigger share of the bill than on a costlier car. It is shown in the cess line of the breakdown above.
Is the Alto K10 Std (O) worth it in Chennai's heat?
No. It has no air conditioning, which is hard to live with in Chennai, and no power steering. The Alto K10 LXi (O) adds both for ₹34,650 more on-road.
Is the Alto K10 fine for a trip to Pondicherry?
It manages the 150 km run comfortably at relaxed speeds. The 68 bhp engine needs planning to overtake trucks on the ECR, especially with four people on board.
Is the Alto K10 easy for a beginner?
Yes. It is light, with power steering from the Alto K10 LXi (O) up, and the AGS versions remove the clutch. Rear parking sensors on every version help when reversing.
Does the top Alto K10 have alloy wheels?
No. Even the Alto K10 VXi+ (O) rides on steel wheels with full covers, and it keeps a manual AC. Its extras are the touchscreen, four speakers, steering controls and keyless entry.
