Getting etting to work and back, heading for a holiday, doing a grocery run, going to doctors, or just out for a drive all these things (and more) are part of our mundane and sometimes dreary life. However, I believe, firmly, that life is about finding some enjoyment in the course of performing the humdrum, and the two vehicles you see here make that claim. The Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 and the Hero Splendor+ XTEC, both have suffixes that promise something more than their standard counterparts, and to an enthusiast, that's what it's all about.
Look at it from another perspective khichdi is one of the most basic, yet delicious items I can think of, but I wouldn't say no to adding some chicken tikka to add something more exuberant. And that's sort of what we have here. But what I'm trying to determine is whether these are commuters with sporty intentions, or energetic vehicles, masquerading as commuters. Based on their looks, I'd definitely say they fall into the former category. After all, they are on the budget side of their respective segments, and are priced at * 5.35 lakh (for the top-sec VXI+ manual variant) and 76,346, respectively (both prices, ex-showroom, Delhi).
