Suzuki Alto VXR (CNG) Car Reviews

I bought Alto 2003 second hand just four months before. I had mehran first. Its the worst car i ever had because its driving is like you are driving a truck. Coming back to alto, its an amazing car in a cheap price range. Its driving is so smooth like a luxurious car. The interior is perfect, sides are covered with plastic material. Brakes work fine below speed of 80. Engine is powerful. Car can be easily turned in a small space. A/C is great. It gives good mileage on CNG as compared to Petrol. I think this car has no comparision with coure or mehran. You can say Coure is an improved version of Mehran.
Howevere there are some negative things as well. The engine of alto is a bit noisy. Road grip in not soo good with the tyres fitted by suzuki. The car starts a little bit shaking above speed of 85.
Apart from that, Alto would be an extra superb car if suzuki has installed power steering, power windows and ABS in it.
Overall its a perfect car.

I have been using alto now a days and had a mehran before i had very bad views of ALTO VXR i kind of hated this car but now after getting one i think i was wrong well to be honest if suzuki is charging this much for a car then they should have incluced some upgrades but thiis is Pakistan! so we dont have any rights
coming back to the ALTO i was very surprised by the torque of its engine.F10A came in suzuki SJ410 jeep aka potohar but n this car torque seems nicer then other cars u dont need to rev it up much just give it a gear and it will go,suspension are nice considerng the road conditions not too hard not too soft, recently driven santro and found that ride of santro is harder then alto on bumpy roads it better to be in alto then santro. ride height is nice i managed to clear up every thing like bricks or rocks.
A/C is awsome consdiering its a1000cc car newer models have sanden A/C so there is less load on the engine. the auto race system is ideal for cold start up. offcourse it lacks some features as other cars but stil if u consider living in Pakistan then this car will hold its market value and its built for our roads!
JVC KDG 335 with two 250W dash speakers are enough no need for other back speakers.
one thing i hate milage on petrol its just drinks too much petrol on CNG its fine
over all really nice car

It is the pioneer in sense that it is the only and only 1000 cc carburetor car at this time in the world.
It has SJ-410 970 cc 4 cylinder carburated Engine. This engine was made by suzuki Japan in 1985 for Suzuki Jeeps and was used by paksuzuki for potohar jeep (The only discontinued model of Paksuzuki otherwise they never discontinue any vehicle like Mehran).
This engine is fitted with a 5 speed gear box which is designed in such a way that its lower gear ratios are very close to each other because it was intended to be used in Jeep.
However, when paksuzuki discontinued Potohar jeep they started to fit this engine in Alto.
The body shape of this car is also running in some countries like Saudi Arabia etc., but not with this engine. Also this car in those countries has not permission to come on motorways.
It is due to this reason that some people observe and say that alto engine in very powerful and it climbs mountains with ease. It is true that it climbs mountains easily, even easier than cultus, but its power is same as that of cultus. it is just because of gear ratios.
i would not mind if Napak Suzuki Motor Company fits jeep engine in car, but at least they should have evaluated some dynamics. Since this engine is not for car.
Due to misfit engine this car has it center of gravity near its center (which should be near front wheels) so turning this car at high speed results in swing around center and loss of control or turn over of car upside down.
Therefore this car is higly unstable on road at speeds above 90 km/hr. In this respect it is even worse than Mehran.you can say it FALTO.
handling and drive of this car is good, but keep in mind it is not safe at high speeds.
Brakes of this car are good. But if you replace its stock tires otherwise paksuzuki install 145mm tread tires which have no surface area to grip the road.
AC is good when the car is running at high speeds
Engine does not become very hot or hard with AC, but cooling of AC is a problem. only front two passengers can travel in city with AC. It has no RPM meter. It fuel economy at CNG is good and at petrol approximately 12-16 km/l.

Door trim of this car are very good made up of entire moulding with plastic which even suzuki is not offering in cultus.
Ac knobs are rotary type which look good like sedan cars.
Seats are not comfortable but not roasting like seats of Mehran.
Inside space is insufficient especially for rear passengers.
Body is good looking and compared to all other small cars of paksuzuki it is good value for money.

we have owned an alto vxr 2007 since we bought it new in august 2007. i must say car is great on cng.it gives better mileage as per km/kg on cng on our mehran which was also boght brand new. both cars are serviced at regular intervals with good zic A+ n guard filters at 5k kms. alto is a tonnes times better than the mehran and in erms of mehran its value for money. i.e back then we bought it for 507,000 n the mehran was a mere 1 lac cheaper. suspension is good n srt of corollaish. its a great car in its category for use in Pakistan. done almost 67000 kms fault free. gives excellent fuel economyon cng. has given me over 240 KMs on a tank full many a times without AC on long routes despite having 165 yokohamas(707 which are great n replaced with the same tyre at 58000) costs between 2-3 Rs / KM nowadays with AC n mixed locak n highway driving. rear headlights are expensive and so are the engine parts. but aval of cheaper chinese parts does the job. itts my daily ride n love her to bits. the pickis great. the key to the great performance is regular maintenance of the car n using quality engine oil n filters at regulatr interval with period maint done on time. the worst part is its fuel economy on petrol which is worst than my 1,8 civic prosmatec.overall i give it a 7/10!!!
