Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 Launched At 3.82 Lakhs And Automatic Variants In India

This is great news for people who have been looking for a budget car with automatic transmission. Maruti Suzuki has launched the new 2014 version of the Alto K10 and has automatic variants as well. Before this, the Indian auto maker had the Celerio as the mid segment model that had an automatic version as well.

Maruti Suzuki expands its arsenal of entry level hatchbacks and should please users. Managing Director and CEO Kenichi Ayukawa said "Alto K10 is the third Maruti Suzuki car within few weeks where our suppliers and engineers have improved the fuel efficiency substantially. We are positioning the new car as a mass market product equipped with futuristic technology to cater to very demanding, value conscious customers".

The company had been fighting a tough battle when it came to entry level cars as people were not ready to spend. This new variant of Alto should be able to boost sales and improve business for Maruti Suzuki. Alto K10 2014 can give a mileage of 24.07 KMPL with automatic transmission and 32.36 KM per Kg in the CNG variant. Both of which are really good when compared to some its rivals in the segment.

Another interesting fact that came to life is that Maruti spent over 200 crores in developing this car in Japan. Maruti has had some good explosive months like August and some really low months in 2014. The company would want to gain some good sales momentum from this entry level passenger car. The new Alto K10’s price starts from Rs 3.82 Lakhs.
