Finally the wait is over and Suzuki has unveiled the all-new Alto car in Japan. Though this car is exclusively meant for the Japanese market, it was eagerly awaited. This car has been developed on a totally new platform and is lightweight. This has been declared as the most fuel-efficient car in Japan, apart from the hybrid gasoline vehicles. The styling and design of the Alto has been kept quite simple yet it is better than the earlier variants. The cabin length of this 8th generation Alto is also the highest at 2040 mm and has a 2460 mm wheelbase.
The front fascia of the Suzuki Alto is quite attractive sans the unnecessary lines and creases. The bumper has a flat and straight design giving a quirky touch to the head lamps. Just like the first generation Wagon R, the front license plate is positioned slightly towards the left and the bonnet has a lid-like design. The flat front and rear overhangs have lent Wagon R a compact look from the side. Alloy wheels make it look all the more chic. The rear has a black hatch door with tail lamps installed in the bumper.
Even at the interiors, the car gets simplistic. The dashboard has all the required functions with switches as well as gear knobs. It is powered by a 660 cc tri-cylinder petrol mill, which has standard as well as turbocharged versions. Suzuki also has an optional 2WD as well as 4WD drive options. Power is transmitted using a five-speed CVT.
The best part about the 2015 Alto is its fuel efficiency. It has a segment leading 37 kilometres per litre capacity. Though, it will not enter the country because it would have been a better alternative for Celerio. Some additional features like Radar Brake support, Hill-Hold Control and few more have been added to make it a more attractive purchase.
