There are more details regarding the new Alto 660cc now available with us. The Alto will be launched towards the first quarter of 2019. The company will be delivering the last batch of Mehran by March 2019, as bookings for the infamous hatchback are already closed.
Engine
It will be powered by a 660cc non hybrid engine that will be imported, and will be paired to locally built transmissions. Although the Japanese hybrid variants claim a 36 km/liter fuel economy figures, according to sources the Pak Suzuki non hybrid variant will still be capable of delivering over 20 km in a liter.
Variants
There will be 3 variants available with the new Alto. The base VX, VXR manual and VXR automatic. It is also being reported that the VXR will come equipped with power steering as standard while the base VX will be a stripped yet low priced version.
Price
It is being reported that the base VX variant will be the cheapest one with prices dangling around 9 lac. The VXR manual version will ideally cost between 9 to 10 lac whereas the most equipped automatic variant will exceed 10 lac price range. However, the estimated prices may vary considering the recent trend of price increase due to depreciating Rupee value against the US Dollar.
Booking
Although the vehicle will be launched in Q1 2019, Pak Suzuki may reveal the product and pricing in coming months in order to start taking the bookings. We will keep our readers updated on this regard.
The new Alto will be assembled in Pakistan with more than 40% locally produced parts. Pak Suzuki has also sent 3 locally assembled units to Japan for testing and approval from Suzuki headquarters.
