What kind of car is the Suzuki Alto?
The Suzuki Alto is a small city car, with a compact hatchback body suited to everyday travel and urban streets. Suzuki has made compact cars for decades, and the Alto name has been associated with small cars since its introduction in Japan in 1979.
The seventh-generation Alto (HA25) was sold from 2009 to 2014. Suzuki described the European model as an A-segment car, with a small petrol engine and a focus on economy.
Engine and power
In the European Union, the Alto is listed with engines from 0.9 to 1.0 litres and power of 50 kW (68 PS). UK versions range from 1.0 to 1.1 litres. France’s ADEME listings show a petrol engine producing 50 kW (68 PS). Petrol is listed across these markets; European Union listings also include LPG and other fuel classifications.
The specifications vary by market. The European Union registration figures record 302,512 Altos from 2010 to 2015. UK figures span 2000 to 2014, and France’s ADEME listings span 2012 to 2014.
Fuel consumption
