I am writing this article after driving almost 1400 km. Booked Alto k10 VXI at Alankar-Patna and get it within 2 days(a great pleasure). For on road I shed total of 3, 38, 000. Let me share some of the experiences and features of k 10.AC of K10 is very good, in no time cabin will be cool. Until sun directly fall on u through windshield u won’t feel heat. Power steering is good in heavy traffic; with single finger u can turn it. View through windshield is awesome during day but it blinds u when u drove at night(beam of light falls on eyes at 90 degrees- even motorcycle beam makes crazy).Pickup is superb; it reaches 100 without effort with AC on highways. Other than sedans nobody can beat you. Once I was driving on NH 31 back from Siliguri, a public transport vehicle was not giving side, at one place the road was bad and vehicles were creeping, K 10 left behind all bulls and come out like Cheeta, I pressed the accelerator and all were history. But when u drive in city traffic it gives little problem with AC. I need to switch off AC sometimes in traffic(Accelerator-Engine response decreases when AC is on. This is the only problem which I encounter daily)Mileage is great. On highway with full AC it gave me 16 km/l before 1st service. I hope it will improve. Inside space is satisfactory. I am 6 ft 2 inches tall but comfortably sit on rear seat. Getting inside the vehicle is little difficult for me. On driver seat I won’t feel that space is less, it is satisfactory even for tall persons like me.Cabin is not 100% sound proof but it is ok. Low traffic will not irritate you. Great for city ride and parking. The road in front of my house is narrow but with little effort I park K10 at my house. I never had much worry about parking the vehicle in market, a little space is enough for K10.Head light is good for city but it needs a lot of improvement when u drive during night on highways. The coming vehicle’s head beam falls on eyes directly. Beam power is not enough to focus far, the light get scattered.
So u can’t drive vehicle more than 60-70 on highways at night
Overall K10 is great vehicle for city ride. I will share my experiences again with u guys after 2nd service or if something new I will find out.
