Srivastava further said that MAruti’s Alto K10 is an aspirational car at the entry-level. In larger cities, entry level cars do not find many takers. But K10 with its combination of features and the price at which they are offered has struck a chord with customers across cities. Before Alto K10, Maruti Suzuki had registered record sales for its model Ritz. The Ritz was launched in May 2009 and it sold 15,000 units within the first two months of its introduction. Annual sales for the car stood at 67,000 units. Another model of Maruti, Maruti Swift was launched in the year 2005. The Swift sold only 4,000 units in the initial months of its launch. Presently, they now sell 11,000 to 12,000 units a month.
