Designed for uncomplicated urban motoring, the Suzuki Alto makes the most of its small footprint with a lightweight body, front-wheel-drive layout and economical petrol engine. Its compact dimensions help it navigate narrow streets and tight parking spaces, while the five-door configuration listed on AutoSpecsHub makes access to the cabin more convenient. Rather than offering elaborate equipment or high performance, this generation focuses on affordability, straightforward mechanical design and low-cost everyday transportation.
For 1994–1998, the 1.0-litre naturally aspirated inline-four produces 53 hp and 54 lb·ft of torque at 4,500 rpm. A five-speed manual transmission sends power to the front wheels, with the Alto reaching a listed top speed of 93 mph. Its 43.5 mpg combined fuel economy and modest 1,609 lb curb weight suit its role as a lightweight city hatchback.
