Suzuki Alto 2026 Price in Pakistan, Images, Reviews & Specs

Suzuki Alto has always enjoyed a healthy market share in developing countries mainly due to its economic price and fuel economy. The first generation was introduced in Pakistan in 1979 and instantly became popular. Initially known as Suzuki FX, it was the cheapest car in the market and came with three engine configurations: 539cc T5B, 543cc F5A, and 796cc F8B. 

The second generation Alto was introduced in 1984, five years after the first one. It featured some upgrades in transmission and came with three new transmissions: 4/5 Speed Manual, 2 Speed Automatic, and 3 Speed Automatic. The base 539cc T5B engine was removed, and Alto featured several other improvements, which led it to earn the badge of being the most powerful Kei-car of its time with 64Hp. 

The third-generation Suzuki Alto was launched in 1988, exactly four years after the 2nd generation. This generation featured some major changes, such as a sliding door in the 4-seater Alto and a 660cc engine which became a standard for all the generations to come. 

The fourth-generation Suzuki Alto was released in the market in 1994. The sliding door was discontinued in this generation, but the exterior design remained the same. The original 543cc engine option was also discontinued. Later in March 1995, Suzuki introduced Alto SV. It was branded as the special fuel economy model and came with some modern features such as an air conditioner, power steering, ABS, and audio system. 

The fifth-generation Suzuki Alto was introduced in 1998 and had an appealing design. With this model, Suzuki introduced the CVT transmission along with the automatic and manual transmission options. This generation also had larger dimensions than the previous generations and had a lot more weight. This generation was produced all the way until 2012 when due to some technical reasons, the company had to stop production. 

Introduced in 2004, the sixth generation Alto was a failure. Its design was edgy and boxy and not at all appealing. This generation also did not have the turbocharged versions and had a limited engine choice of 660cc K6A engine. However, it came with several new features such as a UV glass panel, rear camera, infotainment system along with the standard equipment, etc. 

The 7th generation Suzuki Alto tried to make amends with a highly improved design. The new exterior was curvier and housed a lot of modern features such as traction control and eco mode. The new Alto focused on improving fuel consumption, and its FWD with CVT variant gave an impressive mileage of 24.5 km/l. 

The 8th generation Suzuki Alto was introduced in 2014 and came with a retro-style design. It has jam-packed features such as keyless entry, push-start technology, traction control, vehicle stability control, seven airbags, collision alert, and retractable side mirrors. It also came with Alto RS, a turbocharged variant with bigger wheels. The car set a new example with its exceptional fuel consumption of 37 km/l in Japan. 

In December 2021, Suzuki launched the 9th generation, Suzuki Alto. It has a boxy design and comes with larger dimensions. It is also expected to have several modern features. It also comes with new engine options, with the base variant having an in-line 3-cylinder naturally-aspirated 660cc petrol engine and the upper variants having a mild hybrid system. 

The Pakistani Suzuki Alto comes in four variants: VX, VXR, VXR AGS, and VXL AGS, with the VXL AGS variant usually enjoying high "OWN" or "ON" prices. Despite facing tough competition from other cars in its category, the Suzuki Alto has remained a popular choice for consumers in Pakistan, owing to its affordability, fuel efficiency, and easy availability of spare parts.
