However, the model does not feature the Alto K10’s instrument cluster and will persist with the one defined by the pre-update Alto 800.

 

The new Suzuki Alto is expected to endure the same 796cc petrol engine which is fair enough for 48hp and is integrated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. No AMT gearbox will be accosted.
