Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 and S Presso: An important update
The Electronic Stability Program+ system counteracts a vehicle’s skidding movements, ensuring it remains in line with its natural path of motion. The ESP system, integrating the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Traction Control System (TCS), and Stability Control (SC), utilizes a range of sensors to measure the vehicle’s movement. This data is then processed by an electronic control unit to calculate and adjust the vehicle’s trajectory, enhancing stability and control.
Apart from ESP, the Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 and S Presso rock features like a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, and safety features like ABS with EBD, dual airbags at the front, collapsible steering column, rear parking sensors, and seat belt pretensioners.
The Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 and S Presso are powered by the 1.0-litre, three-cylinder, K10C petrol engine. This engine produces a maximum power output of 67hp and 89Nm of torque. It can be paired with a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT gearbox. The mileage of the Alto K10 is 24.39 kmpl for manual variants and 24.90 kmpl for automatic variants.
Commenting on this, Mr Partho Banerjee, Senior Executive Officer, Marketing & Sales, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, said, “The addition of Electronic Stability Program+ as a standard feature on Maruti Suzuki product portfolio* aligns with our endeavour to democratize advanced features and it significantly increases the value proposition of our vehicles. This is a step towards ensuring that our customers enjoy enhanced safety through improved driving confidence regardless of the model they choose. At Maruti Suzuki, we believe that advanced technology should be accessible to all, and this reinforces our commitment to delivering high-quality vehicles that cater to the diverse needs of Indian consumers.”
