The new Alto looks cute and practical than the Hongguang MINIEV, but it is a pity that Suzuki is gone
The domestic private car consumption market 20 years ago is actually more like the current Indian market, because private cars are not popular, and consumers are not very rich in car purchase funds, which is very suitable for selling cars. Therefore, Suzuki Motors was calling for wind and rain in the Chinese market, just like the hot situation in the Indian market now. For example, suzuki Alto and big dipper are typical Japanese K car, originally built in accordance with the Japanese micro scooter standard, the result is very suitable for the Chinese market that year, although the size is small, but the practicality is very strong, the basic function of wind and rain protection can be realized, and the fuel consumption is still very low. Nowadays, it is difficult to see Alto on the streets of China, but Alto's car is classic enough that it has completed an update in the Japanese market some time ago.
The appearance design of the new Suzuki Alto has changed greatly, and the older generation of domestic car fans in the mind of the Alto is obviously very different, the appearance of the style is more rounded, the line treatment is a bit like the early Suzuki Swift, rather than the big dipper of the square angular lines. The front of the car is rounded headlights and bias radiators, the side is provided with a 4-door design, the roof also has a color block effect, the tail lights are equally rounded, and the exhaust pipe is hidden.
As a very entry-level transportation product, Suzuki Alto interior is indeed relatively low-end, after opening the door to see all the black hard plastic texture, there is no screen on the countertop, or the use of a more retro pointer mechanical instrument, although the central control area reserved the screen installation position, but did not install the screen.
The seat is wrapped in textile fabrics, sponge filling is relatively comfortable, but the overall workmanship is indeed a bit rough, the seat itself is not sewn decoration, is directly covered with a piece of cloth, the so-called ergonomic design is difficult to see on this car. The total length of the whole car is less than 3.4 meters, but the rear leg space is not too cramped, and there is a more practical rear trunk space, at least two standard trunks can be placed vertically.
To know that the Kcar products in the Japanese market have strict standards, the size can not exceed 3.4 meters, the engine displacement can not exceed 0.66 liters, so the new Suzuki Alto updated in the Japanese market is still equipped with a 0.66 liters of classic engine, which belongs to a three-cylinder engine, no turbocharger support, the maximum output power of the simple internal combustion engine is only 34 kilowatts, and the peak torque is 55 Nm. To its credit, the new model offers a mild hybrid version with the addition of a small horsepower electric motor for an additional output of 1.9 kilowatts, which can further reduce fuel consumption and improve the power perception.
Overall, the new Suzuki Alto value is more cute, the practicality of this model is actually stronger than the domestic more popular Wuling Hongguang MINIEV, this fuel model almost do not have to worry about the mileage problem, running high-speed running long-distance can also cope, and the space performance is better. Unfortunately, small-size fuel vehicles are now very rare in China, and Suzuki Motors is gone forever, completely withdrawing from the Chinese market.
