Maruti Alto is the oldest and best-selling car in the Indian market. More than 50 lakh units have been sold since its launch. Not only that, it is also the cheapest car in the country. However, there is a car in the market that is much better than the Alto K10 in terms of design and features. Not only that, it is also priced at Rs 4.70 lakh. Even after that, it has not had much success so far. It only gets a limited number of customers every month. We are talking about Renault Kwid. The new model of Kwid comes with many exciting features. Let us know in detail.
