Fuel Economy

The Suzuki Alto is known for its cheap price and good fuel economy. This Car is an excellent choice for the people with tight budget.

The 6th generation Alto has a combine city and highway mileage of 22 kilometers per liter or 53 miles per gallon achieved by its light weight and small engine. 

Overall the car is an excellent deal and has a good fuel economy, it is comfortable, roomy and cheap and comes with all the standard safety features like SRS airbags, anti lock braking system (ABS), Brake assist and Electronic braking force distribution (EBD) but What i hate about this car is that the car is Ugly as hell. I am sorry if  you own it or dont agree, but the car is ugly in my opinion.
