Revealed for the first time, earlier this morning at the 2008 Paris motorshow, the 2009 Alto is the fifth and smallest member of Suzuki’s European lineup. The all-new Alto has an overall length of 3,500mm, width of 1,600mm, height of 1,470mm and a wheelbase of 2,360mm, so it’s roughly the same size as the Fiat 500 or PSA Citroen C1/Toyota Aygo and Peugeot 107. Suzuki’s new city-car is powered by a 3 cylinder, 1.0 litre petrol engine with an output of 68PS that was initially launched on the Splash. With combined fuel economy of 62.7 mpg, the Alto has CO2 emissions of 109g/km, same as the Citroen C1 1.0 litre.
When the new Alto goes on sale in Europe during the first quarter of 2009, it will be offered with a standard five speed manual transmission and an optional four speed automatic transmission. According to the Japanese carmaker's officials, Suzuki aims to achieve annual sales of 60,000 units of the Indian built Alto in Europe.
