Maruti Alto K10 Build Quality ‘Test’
The YouTuber visits a Maruti dealership where the red Alto K10 is parked. He starts at the front by pressing the bonnet of the car which bends a little. Then he moves on to the bumper which sinks in significantly but that could be due to the pedestrian safety norms. The front grille is much more rugged than one would imagine. Moving to the sides, the fenders bend quite instantly when pressed hard, but that is quite normal with any car. The YouTuber mentions that the doors feel a bit strong judging by the sound they make when shut close/open.

However, the door panels on the lower half are hollow which is visible in the video. The ORVMs on this top trim are quite strong and the roof looks solid too.

Overall, he thinks that the Maruti has improved the build quality in terms of this experiment and the difference can be felt.

On the inside, he presses the door panel, operates the handles and presses the dashboard. While the former two look sturdy, the dashboard does bend in quite a lot indicating cost-cutting. In addition to that, the YouTuber tries to test and move the centre console but the fit and finish is quite impressive even in a budget-friendly car like the Alto. Overall, he is impressed by the build quality of the exterior and interior considering the price point of under Rs 4 lakh, ex-showroom for the base trim.
