Exterior: A moderate looking exterior with a solid body not that easy to dent.

Interior: A nice interior, looks modern you won't find any exposed metal parts inside the car everything is covered with plastic housing like Hondas and Toyotas. Dashboard has multiple spaces for all your stuff including two cup holders. Two front speakers with a solid sound. And a big white speedo along with digital odometer. Seats are also comfortable for longer drives.

Fuel Economy: Fuel average is bad compared to the compilation. Gives you 11KM/L in city and 13KM/L on highway both are with AC.

Ride Quality and Handling: The AC is good enough to handle Pakistani summers even when the car is stationary. Solid suspension keeps you safe from bumps. Engine is also pretty powerful considering the car's body size but feels laggy in 4th and 5th gear. The car is also lacking a power steering.

Final Words: Overall it's a good option as your first car or even if you are coming from Mehran.

Suzuki Alto (now discontinued) is a well reputed car in Pakistan even with its outdated engine and looks.

This car comes with the same engine that was used in Potohars back in 1980's with minor tweaks for CNG and fuel consumption. Over the passage of time Suzuki has hardly made any interior/exterior change. Car prices are constantly rising and its price started around 5 Lacs is not at 8,21,000 Rs which is not worth the product and you may opt for Imported Car in this range and even lower.

The handling is a nightmare on its Stock tyres, and the car is also extremely stiff and bumpy. So changing to softer and wider tyres is recommended, which will make a lot of difference in its comfort and grip. The car will handle fine till 80kms; above that and you will feel like losing it. It comes with hydraulic steering system which is acceptable for the reason that EPS at high speeds due to high steering sensitivity will become a risk.

Interior wise this car has sub standard build quality and squeaks from a new car are nothing new. Recently they changed the traditional cassette player to JVC CD/mp3 Player. The seats are a little uncomfortable specially while turning when the body roll takes over and you literally start moving to the sides. The A/C works just fine if not good.

Exterior wise the looks still come from the 90's and nothing has been upgraded; it even does not have rear screen defrost

The positive point is its spare parts. They are as cheap as anything and you can get them from almost everywhere at some serious cheap price. So driving in traffic takes the edge off you.
Economy on CNG is around 4Rs/Litre while on Petrol with A/C; local it would hardly give you 12km, on Long route it increases to 14km/l which is still not acceptable for 1000cc Carby engine.

This cars engine has been discontinued worldwide and recently this model was taken off the chart from Suzuki Pakistan.

My review for alto is not biased I have almost all local and JDM vehicles.
Off course in luxury we can't compare it with any JDM.

I own a Local alto 2010 model and very satisfied with its performance and fuel economy.

The only thing I don't like about it is inside cabin sound at high speed,low room for legs and feeling of under power with AC on CNG.

From 11 august 2010 till now my car has completed 28,000 kms and the maintainance expense till now is only regular oil change at 4500km and 3 tunnings nothing else.
Since paksuzuki has stop production of alto but car is 100% recommended .

alto is better then mehran but now its closed

waiting for replace of alto.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
