One of the most affordable small hatchbacks in the country, the Alto, will soon be launching the 2022 model year of the car. For 2022, the Alto K10 will get new looks and a new engine. The Alto is one of the few small hatchbacks that still remain on sale in the market. Apart from Renault Kwid, there are no other small hatchbacks. Previously there was the Datsun Go, Go+ and RediGo and Hyundai’s Santro and Eon, all of which are discontinued.
The launch of the model is near as it was spied without any camouflage while shooting for a TVC. These spy shots also showed us what to expect from the new Alto K10 in terms of looks. And now, thanks to a new type-approval document leak, we know what variants the brand will offer and a few of the specifications.
