Maruti Suzuki now offers Electronic Stability Program (ESP) as standard across all models. The carmaker has just announced the introduction of the safety feature on the Alto K10 and S-Presso.

ESP is now available across all variants of the Alto K10 and S-Presso. Despite the addition of the new feature, there has been no change in the prices of both models.

Electronic Stability Program counteracts a vehicle’s skidding movements, ensuring it remains in line with its natural path of motion. The ESP system, integrating the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Traction Control System (TCS), and Stability Control (SC), utilizes a range of sensors to measure the vehicle’s movement. This data is then processed by an electronic control unit to calculate and adjust the vehicle’s trajectory, enhancing stability and control.

In addition to ESP, Maruti Suzuki cars are equipped with safety features like dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, reverse parking sensors, engine immobilizer and a collapsible steering column.

All this while, only the S-Presso (in its higher AMT variants) had the hill-hold feature, the Alto K10 did not get it in ANY variant.

In the banner, at the top they mention that ESP is standard across all variants. Below that, they mention hill-hold in one of the boxes, and right below that it says "Alto K10" and "S-Presso". Does this mean that the Alto K10 also gets hill-hold now? Or is it just unclear advertising?

Good to see ESC on India's most affordable cars and especially without a price hike. In the Maruti stable only the Eeco is left to get ESC, I suppose.

The Alto will most likely qualify for a comfortable 3-star BNCAP rating with the update. It would have in GNCAP as well, if it was tested before 2024.
