The ever-sustaining Maruti Suzuki has upgraded its game once again in the entry-level hatchback section with the refreshing tides of the infamous Alto K10.
The automobile was nicknamed “the common man’s car” because the Alto K10 received big updates in 2025, rendering it safer and more appealing. Here, let us focus on an in-depth breakdown of what’s new.
Wedding Safety Features
A complete overhaul of safety for 2025 saw Maruti offering six airbags as standard on all the variants of the Alto K10, inherently qualifying the car for being the least expensive one in India to do so. This is a great leap for the wallet-conscious customers, who had to compromise on inferior safety features.
Along with six airbags, the rear seat passengers to have a 3-point seat belt, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), reverse parking sensors, ABS with EBD, and a collapsible steering column, too. All these enhancements reiterate Maruti Suzuki’s commitment to passenger safety even in the budget segment.
Changes in Pricing
Back with new features, the Alto K10’s prices have gone up minimally by approximately ₹16,000. The 2025 Maruti Alto K10’s base variant has gone up to an ex-showroom price of ₹4.23 lakh, while the top-end VXi CNG variant is pegged at ₹6.21 lakh. Considering the large improvements in safety and comfort, these remains extremely competitive prices.
Proven on the Road and in Fuel Efficiency
Keeping the tried-and-tested 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder K10 petrol engine under the hood, with an output of 66.62 PS power and torque of 89 Nm, the Alto K10 offers buyers either a 5-speed manual transmission or an AMT gearbox. The petrol variant has fuel efficiency of 24.90 km/l, whereas that of CNG is pegged at 33.40 km/kg. Thus, the Alto K10 remains one of the most fuel-efficient cars in that segment.
Updated Features and Interior Design
Despite the low pricing, the interior of the updated Alto K10 gives off a much more luxurious feeling. Features include a 7inch infotainment touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, keyless entry, steering mounted controls, and semi-digital instrument cluster. The car has also been furnished with a simple color dashboard and dual-tone fabric seat covers, making it look more elegant and giving the cabin a nice touch in terms of comfort.
Market Status and Scheme of Offers
Maruti Suzuki remains the king of the affordable car segment, and the updated Alto K10 is expected to further cement this standing. For higher sales, certain variants were discounted up to ₹62,100 in March 2025. These promotional offers paired with the new features only make the Alto K10 a more attractive buy for first-timers and budget buyers.
Conclusion
The Maruti Alto K10 for the year 2025 is more than a mere facelift. It has improvements in safety, offers new designs, and provides smart features without distancing from its original value-a realistic and affordable small car. Its value-for-money proposition has, however, improved over the years-it continues to remain the first choice for budget-conscious car buyers in India. This new version will captivate hearts again-safe, efficient, and still proudly made for the masses.
