Is the Brezza's 1.5L naturally aspirated engine old hat in the age of turbo-petrol engines or does it still have its place?

I’ve driven turbo and NA engines, and I actually prefer the Brezza’s engine for daily use. It's smoother, more predictable, and there is no turbo lag in stop and go traffic. And it’s probably going to be more reliable in the long term.

There’s no doubt the Brezza is being held back by the lack of a turbo engine. Modern turbo engines can be more fuel efficient too – it’s not just about performance. It’s just Maruti being lazy and relying on brand loyalty instead of innovating.

I believe we are hyped up on the turbo hype too much. The Brezza is powered by an engine which is suited to Indian conditions and driving habits. It's not the most exciting, but it works and it's efficient. Not everyone wants or needs a turbo engine.
Is the Brezza’s bland interior design something that matters or not something that most buyers care about?
30 December 2024 07:24
The bland interior doesn't bother me, honestly. It is clean, functional, and easy to maintain clean. I'd rather have a simple interior that will age well as opposed to some over designed mess that will look dated in a few years.

The Brezza's interior is a joke given the price. Just look at what Kia and Hyundai offer in the same segment. Much more premium feel and modern design. Maruti's just lazy and using their name.

I actually like the Brezza’s no nonsense interior since I spend a lot of time in my car. It's all easy to use, everything's where it should be. Not everyone needs their car to be a spaceship inside.

For me, however, the bland interior is a deal breaker. The Brezza’s interior just screams ‘boring’, your car is a reflection of your personality. You can get a lot more stylish options for the same money.

I feel like we're overdoing it with looks. The interior of the Brezza is not award winning, but it's tough and practical. If you use it for a few years you'll appreciate that more than some flashy design that will wear out quickly.
Is the Alto K10 popular in India because of brand loyalty or real worth for the money?
30 December 2024 07:09
It’s without a doubt brand loyalty. People just default to Maruti because it has been around forever and they don’t really look at other options. It's the "safe" choice.

Nah, it's all about value. What other new car can you get with that kind of reliability and fuel efficiency for that price? People aren't dumb, they know a good deal when they see one.
Is the Alto K10 popular in India because of brand loyalty or real worth for the money?
30 December 2024 07:09
I think it's a bit of both. People come in the door because of the brand name, but they keep coming back because of what the car is worth. Without the cars delivering, Maruti wouldn't have maintained that loyalty.

To be honest, it’s about the resale value. When they want to upgrade, people know they can easily sell their Alto. That’s a huge factor in India.

It’s more about the dealership and service network. The only option with reliable service in smaller towns is Maruti. Sometimes, the car matters less than that.
Is the Alto K10 popular in India because of brand loyalty or real worth for the money?
30 December 2024 07:09
I’d put it down to inertia rather than loyalty. People buy Altos because that’s all they know. That's a habit other brands have to work harder to break.
Is the Alto K10 popular in India because of brand loyalty or real worth for the money?
30 December 2024 07:09
It’s popular because it’s a known quantity. When you have so many options, sometimes people just want something familiar and predictable.

It’s about the whole ownership experience. The purchase price, running costs and peace of mind have been nailed by Maruti. Even if other cars might be better on paper, that’s hard to beat.
Is the Alto K10 the 'mountain goat' of Indian roads?
30 December 2024 07:09
Absolutely! I’ve put the K10 through some daft mountain passes and the car fits it like it was made for it. Light weight and nippy engine make it easy to turn hairpin turns.

30 December 2024 07:09
It’s good, but we’re not going to get ahead of ourselves. In most cases, any decent driver can make it through mountain roads in most cars. In such a small car, you are closer to the edge, and it just feels more dramatic.

Mountain goat? More like mountain mouse. But take it on a real off road trail and you won't get very far. It’s good for paved mountain roads and nothing more.

I would say it deserves its reputation. The simplicity of the K10 is its strength. There’s no fancy electronics to fail, and it’s easy to repair should something go wrong. They are perfect for those remote mountain areas.
