New Delhi: Maruti Suzuki has maintained its position in the entry level segment month after month and the annual sales charts reflect their majority market share in the Indian automobile segment. Now they have arrived with the new Alto K10 hatchback launched at an aggressive price of Rs. 3.99 lakhs, ex-showroom.
Let’s see how it fares against its sister model, the S-Presso, which sits directly above it in the company’s portfolio.

Price
There is a consequent difference between the base price of the two models with the new Alto K10 starting at 3.99 lakh and the S-Presso at Rs. 4.25 lakh, both prices, ex-showroom. However, the difference decreases as we move up the list of variants.
Dimension
The Maruti Suzuki S-Presso is longer, wider and taller than the Alto K10 and offers more space as well. For a premium of around Rs. 25 thousand, one gets a bigger looking and more spacious car from the same brand.
Engine
Both vehicles are powered by a 1.0-litre K-series engine that produces almost identical power and torque figures. Both engines are offered with a 5-speed manual transmission and a 5-speed automatic transmission.

Key Features
The Maruti Alto K10 and the Maruti Suzuki S-Presso are equipped fairly equally in terms of features. Like the Alto, the S-Presso doesn’t get AC or power steering in the base variant and it’s only in the top-spec VXi+ 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system.
In terms of safety, both get dual airbags and reverse parking sensors. It is up to the customer and their willingness to spend a few thousand rupees more for the S-Presso, a comparably bigger and more spacious car.
