suzuki alto

 While Nissan is debuting a new five-door called the Pixo in Paris, the car is actually based on the Suzuki  Alto -- and even built by Suzuki at its factory in Delhi, India. So considering that an all-new version is set to launch soon, the automaker isn't about to let Nissan hog the A-segment spotlight, and has put its Alto on display in the City of Lights, too. Drawing styling cues from the A-Star concept originally seen at the 2008 Auto Expo in New Delhi, the Alto is designed to be a "response to the needs of today's motorists," and combines its small size with distinctive styling (for a microcar) and relatively generous passenger space.
The smallest of Suzuki's world cars, the Alto checks in at just 137.8-in. long, 63-in. wide, and 57.9-in. high with a 92.9-in. wheelbase. Under the hood lies a 1.0L four-cylinder gasoline engine putting out 67-hp and 66 lb-ft of torque, which manages 52.2 mpg combined while meeting stringent Euro 5 emissions standards, thanks in part to the car's 1940-lb curb weight. In addition Suzuki has focused on the Alto's driving dynamics, adding MacPherson struts up front and a 3-link rigid axle design in the rear, along with springs and dampers tuned to handle the twisty roads of the Old World, and parking is aided by an extremely narrow turning radius.
However despite its size, Suzuki has also worked to make the Alto's interior a pleasant place to spend time, giving it space for four adults (although the cabin favors the front seats) a folding rear seatback, and enough luggage space for everyday use. Electronic stability control, an energy dispersing frame, and six airbags also help to keep occupants protected in the event of an accident. Suzuki hopes to sell 60,000 examples of the Alto in Europe annually, but given its Lilliputian dimensions it's doubtful the car will ever reach American showrooms. Sales are expected to begin in April 2009
