In the Pakistani market, the Japanese Suzuki Alto is always chosen over the locally built model because of its superior build quality, improved safety features, and fuel efficiency. When compared to the made-in-Pakistan model, which has never been able to crack sales, it is more expensive.

We will examine the characteristics and specifications of the 9th generation Japanese mild hybrid Suzuki Alto in this blog post so you can make an informed decision.
Design Language- 9th Gen Japanese Alto
It was introduced in 2021, made its road debut in Japan in 2022, and eventually made its way into the Pakistani market in 2024. Its elegant grille, retractable mirrors with blacked-out detailing, 5-level adjustable halogen lighting, and delicate character lines distinguish its exterior. The vertical taillamp design, which was influenced by the fifth generation Alto, replaces the horizontal lights, creating a noticeable shift in the rear profile. The motif is further made bulkier by the 13-inch stainless steel rims.
Engine and Power
The 660 CC engine, which has been developed using hybrid technology, is the heart of the Suzuki Alto’s strength. The in-line 3-cylinder engine produces 48 horsepower and 58 Nm of torque when mated to a CVT transmission. Better fuel economy and reduced engine strain are guaranteed by its mild hybrid technology, which also charges the 3Ah battery while the vehicle is idle.
According to the OEM, the fuel efficiency is 37 km/l, which is quite high considering the nation’s present high gasoline prices.
Interior And Safety
In order to provide more headspace and a more spacious cabin, the height of this new generation Alto has been enhanced over the previous 8th generation model. The carmaker prioritized safety above flashy additions in this most recent trim.
Its AC is equipped with manual controls, parking sensors, a basic cluster panel, front cameras, an auto headlight, and an anti-collision system that works for both bikers and pedestrians. There are four cup holders available, but we feel like the vanity mirror on the sun visors is missing. You can fit your little suitcase inside and it has enough boot space for a quick supermarket run.
The price of this Japanese Suzuki Alto, 9th generation, is 37,50,000 Pkr, less than that of the Suzuki Cultus. Thus, this is the ideal option if you’re wanting to replace your gas guzzler.
