Time out. Happiness in. In a world that never stops spinning, the Alto makes the perfect timeout. It’s great to just drive, but there’s plenty of space to carry stuff you need to enjoy a day, or a few days, off. Better yet, recruit some friends for the occasion. There’s plenty of space to accommodate up to four happy people.

Two adults sit comfortably in the Alto’s wide rear seat, which has a 50:50-split seatback* that allows you to reconfigure the cabin space. If you need to carry both a rear passenger and bulky luggage, simply fold down one side of the seatback. Just as easily, you can fold down both sides and create a huge luggage area with a flat floor. The Alto’s four doors are a big plus for passengers. And a wide tailgate opening with a low lip takes much of the effort out of loading and unloading luggage. * The rear seat may be a non-split bench type depending on grade.

Big step. Small footprint. Balancing the demands of eco-friendly operation with the need for satisfying performance is a matter of addressing every detail, so the Alto combines low weight with a peppy, fuel-efficient engine and a shape that reduces aerodynamic drag. The Alto’s lively performance is a big step forward for a compact car. Better yet, its environmental footprint, like its impact on your pocketbook, is small.

Power with economy The Alto’s newly developed 1.0-litre engine has a three-cylinder design for low weight and high efficiency. It delivers peppy performance together with low fuel consumption.

Smooth progress The smoother the airflow over a car’s body, the lower the car’s fuel consumption and emissions. So Suzuki designed the Alto using cutting-edge flow simulations and extensive wind-tunnel testing. A further benefit of the Alto’s low drag is a quieter drive.
13
Safety for peace of mind In case of an unavoidable mishap, the body is based on Suzuki’s proprietary Total Effective Control Technology (TECT) system, meaning that it resists impact forces and directs them away from the driver and passengers. And for even greater peace of mind, the cabin has dual front airbags, which form another layer of protection. Note: The SRS airbags are shown inflated for descriptive purposes.
Automatic choice Unusually for a small car, the Alto is available with an automatic gearbox—the ideal
Uniquely scaled to city size. While the Alto is great fun to drive anywhere, its natural environment is the city. Nimble handling makes it easy to slip through traffic. And compact dimensions and great manoeuvrability make parking a breeze on crowded city streets. So while other drivers are circling the streets looking for larger spaces, you’re already sipping a coffee in a café or shopping.
