The Suzuki Alto is a small city car introduced in Japan in 1979, initially as a kei car compliant with domestic regulations, and later developed into a global subcompact (A-segment equivalent) for export markets.
Built on a transverse-engine unibody platform, it features small-displacement gasoline engines, with Japan-specific kei versions and larger export variants. The Alto is positioned as an affordable urban vehicle, widely distributed across Asian and European markets.
