Suzuki Alto
The Suzuki Alto has reached the 30th year of an illustrious history that began with its first-generation launch in May 1979. With aggregate worldwide sales of 10 million units in 132 countries, the low mpg and co2 emissions of the new Alto are especially significant.
The first-generation Alto was based on a concept of creating a car that was easy for women to control, and it went on the market during a slump in mini-vehicle demand in the late '70s. It broke the mini-vehicle mould, drove Alto sales far beyond Suzuki’s original monthly target and established the Alto as Suzuki’s top-selling model.
Like Lotus, Suzuki's strong racing heritage, makes them experts in lightweight construction. In contrast to another legendary Suzuki product - the immensely powerful Hayabusa (GSX1300R) - the Alto's engine is 25% smaller than that of the monster motorcycle, but more than capable of getting a small family from A to B quickly and efficiently. Insurance will be a lot less too!
