Introduction
The Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 is an entry-level hatchback that sits above the Alto 800 in the carmaker's portfolio. This current model is larger than its predecessor, and here are the actual interior dimensions of the car to give you a perspective on its space and comfort.
Front Cabin Space
One sits at a height of 630mm from the ground in this car, making it easy to get into the front seats without crouching much. The legroom of 750mm, maximum knee room of 870mm, and headroom of 990mm is a good enough space but the 1,200mm shoulder room makes you sit closer to the passenger. Thankfully, there's enough space in between. Also, the seats provide adequate support for a short seat base of 470mm and a backrest height of 560mm.

| Shoulder room | 1200mm |
| Seat base length | 470mm |
| Backrest height | 580mm |
| Ingress | 630mm |
Rear Cabin Space
Sliding into the rear seat isn't difficult either with an ingress of 640mm. The shoulder room gets tighter too, making it uneasy for a third individual to sit in the centre. Yes, the space inside has increased but it still isn't generous enough with a legroom of 640mm and a maximum knee room of 880mm. The second-row seat is a flat bench but doesn't help with a short base of 440mm. And it is 370mm from the floor, which limits the under-thigh support.

| Seat base length | 440mm |
| Backrest height | 65mm |
| Ingress | 640mm |
Boot Space Capacity
The rectangular-shaped boot space of 214-litres is way below average but can hold up to four medium-sized soft bags. The good thing though is that it isn't too high from the ground, has a wide opening, and doesn't have intrusions inside. It also houses a full-sized spare tyre underneath. Then, a parcel tray comes in handy to hold light items for second-row passengers.
