Red Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 hatchback

The Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 specifications are simple. Its 998 cc K10C petrol makes 68 bhp at 5600 rpm and 91.1 Nm at 3400 rpm, which is enough for a car this small and light.

Gearbox choice is the main split. The 5 speed manual is the default, and the AGS automated manual on the VXi (O) and VXi+ (O) shifts for you in slow traffic. The CNG version keeps the manual and drops to 56 bhp and 82.1 Nm on gas, in return for a much lower running cost per kilometre.

Mileage is the most important number here. The petrol manual is rated at 24.39 kmpl and the AGS nudges ahead to 24.90 kmpl, while the S-CNG reaches 33.40 km/kg. Petrol goes into a 27 litre tank, and the gas cylinder holds 55 litres water equivalent. You can see how each Alto K10 fuel type stacks up side by side.

On size, the Alto K10 stays tiny by design: 3530 mm long, 1490 mm wide and 1520 mm tall on a 2380 mm wheelbase. Petrol versions seat five and the CNG versions are rated for four. The brochure gives no boot volume or ground clearance figure, so check both in person if they matter to you. The 4.5 metre turning radius makes three point turns simple in narrow lanes.

Safety kit is generous for the price. Six airbags, ESP, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors and front and rear seat belt reminders are standard on every trim. It stops on front discs and rear drums, and every version rides on 145/80 R13 tyres. The warranty covers 3 years or 1,00,000 km and can be extended to 6 years.

Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 power and torque explained

The Alto K10 runs on a 1.0 litre three cylinder engine called the K10C. With petrol you get 69 PS (68 bhp) and 91.1 Nm, and with the factory CNG kit it makes 57 PS (56 bhp) and 82.1 Nm. The petrol comes with a manual or an AMT, and the CNG with a manual only.

These are small numbers, but the Alto K10 is a very light car. They are enough for city driving and the odd highway trip.

How to read this chart. Torque is the push you feel when you accelerate, and it peaks low on the rev range. Power is how hard the engine keeps pulling as it revs higher, and it peaks further up. The two dots mark those peaks. The shaded strip between them is the flexibility band: a wider band pulls easily across more revs and feels relaxed in traffic, while a narrower band asks you to rev the engine more to get its best. Use the buttons above to compare this car's engines.

Peak figures come from the 1.0L K10C S-CNG spec sheet. The line between the two peaks is not a measured dyno curve.

The petrol reaches peak torque at 3400 rpm and peak power at 5600 rpm, a gap of 2200 rpm. A wide gap like that lets you hold a gear for longer before you change, which keeps town driving easy. Maruti rates it at 24.39 km/l with the manual and 24.90 km/l with the AGS automatic. If you split your time between city and highway, pick this one, and check the on-road price in your city before you book.

On CNG, the same engine gives its peak torque at 3400 rpm and peak power at 5300 rpm. Both numbers are lower than on petrol, so it suits steady city driving more than fast highway runs. It is the cheapest Alto K10 to run, rated at 33.40 km/kg. Maruti rates the CNG version for four people, not five. It comes on the LXi (O) and VXi (O), and you can see how it fits into the Alto K10 range.
