The allure of the Rs. 3.99 lakh pricing is what draws customers to showrooms. But when compared to top-spec versions, that price is connected with the base STD form and seems a little basic. For Rs. 3.99 lakh, what precisely does one receive with the STD variant? Let’s look at it.
Maruti Alto K10: Walkaround
The dimensions and specs of the base STD model are the same right away. STD is identical to other variations in terms of design. The variations are in how STD variant is carried out. Along with the ORVMs and door handles, both bumpers are currently unpainted. Additionally, front power windows and remote locking are not available on Maruti Suzuki Alto STD models.
Even the lack of power steering, which is sort of expected in cars in 2022, is shocking. Air conditioning is not available on STD trims either. It has AC controls in the centre console, but since there isn’t a compressor for the AC to function, they just manage the blower.

Compared to top models, it receives seat upholstery of poorer quality. It lacks a parcel shelf around the boot, leaving the majority of the top variant-covered components visible. Additionally, STD trim is devoid of any form of infotainment system and speaker equipment. The steering wheel-mounted controls are likewise eliminated when there is no infotainment system.
