Suzuki Alto Gets Even More Frugal

SYDNEY – Jluy 13, 2010: The Suzuki Alto has just gained an added lead on its rivals with a 2.2 per cent improvement to its official fuel economy figure.

This adds to its credits earned with NRMA, judging it the least expensive car to own and operate amongst a field of over 600 vehicles.

The addition of new low-rolling resistance tyres sees the manual Alto’s combined fuel economy drop to 4.7 litres per 100km, with CO2 emissions also falling by almost 3 per cent to 110 grams per km.

The automatic model scores a 3.9 per cent improvement on economy to 5.3 litres per 100km and CO2 emissions fall to 126 grams per km.

“Alto is without doubt one of the best value car choices on the market and this economy upgrade is the added proof,” said Suzuki Australia general manager, Tony Devers.

“It ranks amongst the greenest vehicles on the planet and has a starting price almost three times less than that of any hybrid vehicle. It is the practical, quality, low-running cost vehicle that also offers great performance, high levels of safety and now even better fuel economy.

The Suzuki Alto GL is priced from $12,490 drive away and the GLX model from $12,990 drive away.
