Which One Makes More Sense?

The Alto K10 undercuts the Kwid with a lower starting price of Rs 3.69 lakh, making it the most affordable entry-level car on sale after GST. The Kwid, however, offers a broader variant lineup, more features in higher trims, and the option of an AMT across multiple versions. But the Alto K10 offers a CNG option.
