Changan Suzuki may produce all-new Alto in 2009

Shanghai, August 22 (Gasgoo.com) Suzuki Motor will debut its seventh-generation Alto at the 2008 Paris auto show which is to be held on October 4-19, said cheshi.net today.

Suzuki will start the initial production of the latest Alto this October, launch Europe-targeted Alto production in December and then expand to other global markets.

The latest Suzuki Alto surely will enter the Chinese market. Sources said Suzuki’s Chinese joint venture, Changan Suzuki Automobile, will possibly produce the seventh-generation Alto in 2009.

The all-new Alto builds on the strengths of Suzuki's unparalleled knowledge of small-car development. It combines fashionable and dynamic styles. The new compact car offers light weight to achieve low fuel consumption and low CO2 emissions. With CO2 emission below109g/km, the 1.0-liter engine powered model has met Euro V emissions regulations.

With overall higher levels of quality, comfort, and safety, the all-new Alto is a ready response to the needs of today's drivers.

Apart from the new Alto, Changhe Suzuki, another Suzuki’s joint venture in China will also produce the Suzuki’s strategic model Splash in 2010.
