New 103g/km Suzuki Alto (04/10/2008)

   

At the 2008 Paris Motor Show, Suzuki is unveiling the all-new Alto — the fifth and smallest member of its acclaimed line up of world strategic models. The new Alto combines eye-catching style and easy urban mobility with great performance in terms of fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions, thereby meeting the lifestyle needs of today's motorists and the pressing global need for environmental compatibility. Plus, it is one of the most fun-to-drive city cars available — a great new example of Suzuki's "Way of Life!" philosophy.

  • Eco-friendly
  • Low CO2 emission and low fuel consumption
  • Lightness achieved through downsizing
  • Stylish and sporty design
  • Ample roominess and comfort as a city commuter within compact dimensions

The new Alto is aimed mainly at urban people who want a small car that offers style and enjoyment together with great environmental credentials, and it reflects the ideals of the second phase of Suzuki's world strategy. At the heart of the concept for the new Alto is Suzuki's belief that people should be able to enjoy economical, eco-friendly motoring without sacrificing style, comfort, practicality, or performance. Compact dimensions (the new Alto is the smallest of Suzuki's world strategic models) play a large part in realising outstanding environmental credentials by keeping weight to a minimum, but without detracting from user-friendliness.

Performance and Environmental Compatibility

  • Euro 5 compliant 1.0-litre petrol engine
  • Combined fuel consumption: 62.7mpg (4.5l/100km)
  • CO2 emissions: 103g/km
  • Front MacPherson strut suspension with high rigidity
  • Rear suspension in Suzuki's proprietary 3-link rigid axle design
  • A minimum turning radius of 4.5m

Full UK specifications will be confirmed closer to the launch date in March 2009.
