Alto - Model Information

Just more than a year after Suzuki Auto South Africa's high-profile launch in SA, the dynamic Japanese marque is launching its exciting new Alto – a trend-setting A-segment contender that is set to redefine the compact city car concept.

Inspired by Suzuki's renowned compact car heritage, the Alto introduces an unprecedented combination of superlative design, packaging, safety, fuel efficiency and low emissions.

These attributes are linked to sporty and involving dynamics, as well as high levels of comfort and convenience – and, of course, outstanding affordability and value for money.

"As the newest model in Suzuki's world-car strategy, the Alto is perfectly in tune with the needs of the modern motorist," says Kazuyuki Yamashita, managing director of Suzuki Auto SA.

“The Alto offers economical and environmentally friendly, yet thoroughly entertaining driving characteristics, top-notch features and exceptional value. It is also an exciting and important addition to our growing product portfolio in SA.

Accelerate your Alto.

No matter your destination, simply slip into the Alto for a smooth ride and great performance that make getting from one place to another, a simple pleasure. Schedule a day of fun and take your Alto for a spin. The Alto is also made with the fashion-conscious in mind. It’s the perfect car to suit any outfit, any occasion, any driver.

Big step, small footprint.

The Alto is not just about style, economy or even comfort. It is also all about the environment. The Alto treads lightly, cutting down on carbon emissions, whether your destination is across the city or just to the corner coffee shop.

Smooth progress.

The Alto was designed using cutting-edge flow simulations and extensive wind tunnel testing. The result? A body constructed to ensure smoother airflow and low drag, lowering fuel consumption and emissions and ensuring a quieter drive.

Pedestrian-protection measures include an energy-absorbing front structure.

Fast,easy driving.

Love driving? Jump into your Alto for one of the best city driving experiences of your life. Nippy performance, a distinctive and throaty engine roar, predictable handling and ride quality unmatched by other vehicles in its class. Although it is eco-friendly, the Alto’s engine is powerful enough to give you peppy performance with lower fuel consumption.

Sporty, Smooth, Safe.

Despite its compact exterior, the Alto is loaded with safety features. The Alto’s body is built using Suzuki’s Total Effective Control Technology (TECT) which absorbs impact energy and disperses it away from the driver and passengers. The GLS model features four-wheel ABS (Anti-lock Brake System), EBD (Electronic Brake force Distribution) and BA (Brake Assist). All models feature driver and passenger front airbags, three-point front seatbelts equipped with pre-tensioners and force limiters and side impact beams. You’re guaranteed a safe and truly exciting ride.

Need it? Store it.

Got it all? Need somewhere to put it? The Alto has lots of storage space, to ensure you never leave anything behind. With front, rear and passenger side storage boxes, you can keep road maps, personal organisers and even 500ml water bottles close for when you need them. And, the boot offers extra space for shopping, sports kit or bags for a weekend away.

Let the Alto drive you

Slip through the traffic, park with ease. The Alto’s great dimensions and speed sensitive power steering give you the edge whether you’re pulling into your favourite restaurant, making a quick breakfast pit stop or taking a long, casual drive around the city. A turning circle radius of just 4.5 metres provides excellent manoeuvrability and an ability to slip into tight parking spaces.

Inside Style

The Alto is not just a great looking car from the outside. It also has lots of great interior features, such as a high legibility speedometer which gives you up-to-the-minute driving information, air conditioning and a sportily-styled steering wheel and gear lever.
