Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Maruti Suzuki Alto K10
- Looks cute: Small size, 13-inch wheels and a curvy shape.
- Comfortable seating: Accommodating enough for four adults with adequate space.
- Usable performance: Feels peppy and returns a good fuel efficiency too!
- Smooth AMT: Not as slow and jerky as regular AMTs.
- Light on the pocket: Proven reliability and low service cost.
Maruti Suzuki Baleno
- Features: Useful additions like ventilated seats, wireless charger and Level-2 ADAS
- Ride comfort: Isolates really well from bad roads and feels stable on the highway
- Refinement: Despite the 3-cylinder engine, feels refined with controlled vibrations
- Space: Accommodates four adults, including tall ones at the rear
- City drivability: Feels smooth and has good usable performance for city speeds

Maruti Suzuki Alto K10
- Limited space: Not wide enough for three in the rear.
- Misses out on comfort features like powered mirror adjust, rear power windows, reversing camera, driver seat height adjust and steering height adjust.
- Rear seat practicality: No door pockets, cup holders or even seat back pockets.
- Refinement on highways: Engine gets noisy post 3000RPM.
Maruti Suzuki Baleno
- Looks: New grille looks too bold in what is an otherwise sober styling
- Silly misses: No rear central armrest, front type-C ports and LED indicators
- Highway performance: Slow and gradual acceleration beyond 60kmph takes time to build speed
