Maruti Suzuki has once again proved why it’s a household name in India’s automobile scene. In 2025, the ever-popular Alto K10 has been given a meaningful refresh that puts safety and value at the forefront. This entry-level hatchback, often called the “common man’s car,” just got smarter, safer, and a whole lot more appealing without losing its budget-friendly nature.
Safety
Maruti has gone all-in on safety this time. The 2025 Alto K10 now offers six airbags as standard across all variants—a first for any car at this price point in India. This move alone redefines expectations for the budget segment and makes the Alto K10 the most affordable car to feature such a setup.
But that’s not all. Rear passengers now get 3-point seatbelts, and other safety features include ABS with EBD, an Electronic Stability Program (ESP), reverse parking sensors, and a collapsible steering column. These aren’t just fancy add-ons; they reflect a real effort to prioritize occupant protection, even for those shopping on a tight budget.
Pricing
Naturally, these safety improvements come with a slight price bump. But considering what’s been added, the increase of around ₹16,000 feels more than reasonable. The base variant of the Alto K10 now starts at ₹4.23 lakh (ex-showroom), while the top VXi CNG variant is priced at ₹6.21 lakh.
Here’s a quick look:
| Variant Type | Ex-Showroom Price (₹) |
|---|---|
| Base Petrol | 4.23 lakh |
| VXi CNG (Top-End) | 6.21 lakh |
Even with the update, the Alto K10 holds its position as one of the most value-packed cars in the entry-level hatchback category.
Performance
Under the hood, the 2025 Alto K10 retains its trusted 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder K10 petrol engine. It continues to produce 66.62 PS of power and 89 Nm of torque. Buyers can pick between a 5-speed manual transmission or a smooth-shifting AMT.
Fuel efficiency continues to be one of the car’s strongest suits. The petrol version delivers 24.90 km/l, while the CNG variant offers an impressive 33.40 km/kg. In a market where mileage still drives many purchase decisions, these figures are hard to beat.
Features
The inside of the Alto K10 has received a noticeable upgrade too. Despite being a budget car, the cabin feels far from basic. It now comes with a 7-inch infotainment system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, keyless entry, and steering-mounted controls. There’s also a semi-digital instrument cluster that adds to the modern feel.
Visually, the interior gets dual-tone seat covers and a cleaner, more elegant dashboard layout. It’s simple, but not bland—exactly what you’d want in a car built for daily use.
Offers
Maruti Suzuki knows how to keep the momentum going. In March 2025, some variants of the Alto K10 were offered with discounts up to ₹62,100. These schemes, combined with the new features, make it an even more attractive buy, especially for first-time car owners.
It’s clear Maruti wants to keep its crown in the entry-level segment, and this updated Alto K10 plays a big part in that strategy.
The 2025 Maruti Alto K10 isn’t just a refreshed model—it’s a major leap forward for budget cars in India. With safety features that rival more expensive vehicles, improved interiors, and tried-and-tested efficiency, it remains a smart, sensible choice. Maruti has made sure this car still delivers on its promise: a small car that works for everyone.
