Rumour: Maruti Alto K10 to be relaunched in India

The new Alto K10 could be launched along with the next-gen Alto 800 during this festive season.

Maruti Suzuki stopped selling the Alto K10 in March 2020. Now, according to a media report, the ‘K10’ moniker is set to make a return.

The report states that the new K10 (codenamed: Y0M) is likely to be powered by a 998cc petrol engine. It is said that Maruti believes that there isn’t much competition in this segment, with its only rivals being the S-Presso and Renault Kwid.

The new K10 is likely to be based on the next-gen Alto, which has been spotted testing on Indian roads already. Rumours suggest that the new K10 could be launched along with the next-gen Alto 800 during this festive season.

Meanwhile, Maruti Suzuki has discontinued the Std, LXI and LXI CNG variants of the Alto 800. The hatchback is now available in five trims – Std (O), LXI (O), LXI (O) CNG, VXI and VXI+.
