Maruti Suzuki has finally launched its Alto K10 in a CNG variant. With the CNG version, some noticeable changes include CNG-specific stickers on the front and rear. The company has introduced this model in only one variant – the VXI. The VXI Plus variant does not come with CNG.
Pricing and Transmission
In Gurgaon, Haryana, the on-road price of the Alto K10 CNG is around ₹6.6 lakh. Comparatively, this CNG variant is ₹1 lakh costlier than its petrol-only counterpart. It is available only with a manual transmission.
Exterior Features
The car lacks central locking with a remote, as seen in the VXI Plus variant. It comes with halogen headlights but no fog lamps or chrome finishes. The side mirrors are manually adjustable, and the indicators are mounted on the side fenders. The exterior remains simple yet functional.
Interior and Space
Inside, the car offers decent space management despite its compact size. The body-colored door handles add a stylish touch, but some elements like the ORVMs are unpainted. The CNG tank reduces boot space, but there’s still room for small items. To access the spare wheel, you’ll need to fold down the rear seats.
CNG Setup
The CNG filling point is conveniently integrated into the fuel lid. A safety feature ensures the engine automatically cuts off if the fuel lid is open. The 55-liter CNG tank is well-secured, and concerns about damage to the cylinder are minimal unless subjected to extreme impact.
Seating and Comfort
The front seats have decent width and legroom, even for tall passengers. However, the rear seat can comfortably accommodate only two passengers due to the absence of a middle seatbelt. Headrests are fixed for both rows, and comfort levels are reasonable for short trips.
Engine and Mileage
The Alto K10 CNG is powered by a 1.0-liter K10C engine, producing 56 BHP and 82 Nm of torque. The claimed mileage for the CNG version is over 30 km/kg, while the petrol variant delivers around 24 km/l, depending on driving conditions.
Verdict
If you’re looking for an affordable and fuel-efficient CNG car, the Alto K10 CNG is a great option. Despite its compact exterior, the interior space management and price make it a practical choice for city driving.
