Photos of the updated Alto K10 were recently leaked. From what we can tell from the leaked images, the design of the hatch is inspired by the current-gen Celerio. The front part of the new Alto K10 will get a hexagonal grille, oval-shaped halogen headlamps and LED DRL bars (likely to be available as accessories). The side profile of the upcoming hatchback will feature steel rims with smooth body lines and wheel caps.
