When the new
Suzuki Alto goes on sale in the UK on 01 March 2009, it will stake its
claim as being the lowest emitting five-door petrol family car on the
market. The Alto is the fifth global strategic model in the Suzuki
line-up and is powered by a three-cylinder 67 bhp 1.0-litre engine
producing emissions of just 103 g/km.
The first
European-specification model to be exported in three years from the
Maruti Suzuki plant in Delhi, India, which is celebrating its 25 year
anniversary, the Alto will join three other models in the Suzuki range
boasting emissions of less than 120 g/km, including the newly-introduced
1.0-litre Splash GLS variant.
With consumers
paying more attention to spending as the economic climate becomes more
difficult, motorists are increasingly turning to smaller cars which
offer higher fuel economy in addition to lower CO2 and
running costs. With an on the road price starting at £6,795 coupled with
an impressive combined fuel consumption of 64.2 mpg and £35 annual road
tax (VED Band B), the stylish Alto is set to be a very attractive
prospect for buyers.
Commenting on the
introduction of the new Alto, David Seward, Director of Sales and
Marketing, Suzuki GB, explains: “There has always been a continued drive
by Suzuki to offer fun and exciting products combined with value for
money, and the forthcoming Alto is no different. Furthermore, being able
to offer such an environmentally-friendly petrol engine is a rare
proposition as we are one of very few manufacturers to break the 104
g/CO2 barrier, as EU emissions targets become even stricter.”
