After six years, Suzuki brings significant updates to the Alto, making it more competitive in today’s market. This popular vehicle finally gets the attention it deserves, with various changes designed to improve safety and convenience, making it a more appealing option for car buyers.
Suzuki enters a market now flooded with modern cars offering excellent safety features. Even high-end vehicles now come with advanced autonomous driving technologies. In response, Suzuki focuses on enhancing its most popular car, the Alto, to stay relevant in this evolving landscape.
While these updates are appreciated, there is still some disappointment. The base VX variant, even in 2025, does not come with essential safety features like SRS airbags. This oversight is glaring, especially since airbags have become standard in many new vehicles. Recent reports suggest Suzuki may discontinue this base variant due to its lack of safety features.
However, the upper trims, such as the VXR and VXL AGS, do include more robust safety features, like ABS and dual airbags. These additions help justify their place in the competitive 2025 market. But, as always, Suzuki raises the price tag whenever it adds new features, which has become a predictable move by the company.
Suzuki Alto – Old vs. New
Here’s a quick comparison between the old and new Suzuki Alto:
| Specs | Old Alto | New Alto with Upgrades |
|---|---|---|
| Emblems | Right side | Left side |
| Back Trunk | Simple trunk | Chrome garnish |
| Dashboard Warnings | Check engine light | Check engine light + Seatbelt warning + Seatbelt reminder |
| Kids Safety | None | ISOFIX Anchors |
| Windows | Manual | All four power windows (VXR MT + AGS) |
| Windows Safety | Manual safety required | Pinch protection, Illumination (VXR MT + AGS) |
| ABS | Only in VXL AGS | Standard in VXR MT and VXL AGS |
| Side Turn Indicators | In front fenders | Side mirrors (VXL AGS only) |
Suzuki’s focus on safety is clear. For the first time, ABS is standard across all variants, not just limited to higher-end models. This is a revolutionary shift in a market where safety was often reserved for pricier options. The addition of pretensioners, seatbelt reminders, and ISOFIX anchors enhances the overall safety experience for both adults and children.
The new Alto also includes subtle but impactful design updates, such as power windows for both the front and rear seats. This change adds convenience for passengers, reflecting Suzuki’s understanding of customer needs. The updated VXL-AGS variant features side mirror turn indicators and a back door garnish, adding a touch of modernity to the Alto’s design.
Suzuki’s updates go beyond simple aesthetic changes. They reflect a commitment to providing safety and comfort at an affordable price, making the Alto a more attractive choice in the Pakistani market.
