Design and Exterior Updates
Subtle yet refined styling
Unlike radical redesigns, Suzuki has chosen a conservative but effective facelift. The updated front and rear bumpers flow more smoothly into the compact body, enhancing both looks and aerodynamics.
New grille and roof spoiler
A sleeker front grille now incorporates the radar module neatly into the design. A rear roof spoiler not only adds a sporty touch but also improves airflow for better efficiency.
Color options and trims
Suzuki introduces new dual-tone color schemes and a standout Terracotta Pink monotone. These vibrant options reflect the Alto’s youthful appeal while the four trim levels—A, L, Hybrid S, and Hybrid X—offer a variety of features and pricing.
Improved ADAS and Safety Features
Radar-based Automatic Emergency Braking
At the heart of this facelift is the all-new Dual Sensor Brake Support II, which uses a radar and camera combination for:
-
Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
-
Low-speed collision avoidance
Lane departure and rear assist
The updated Alto can now alert drivers about unintentional lane drift and help prevent rear collisions during parking maneuvers.
Parking sensors and alerts
Front and rear parking sensors and audio-visual notifications now come standard in all variants—a rare feature in this segment.
Interior and Cabin Comfort
Familiar layout with practical additions
The interior remains minimalistic but functional. Dashboard-mounted gear selector, circular air vents, and compact switchgear keep the layout familiar for Alto fans.
Seating and storage
With a 4-seater configuration, it’s ideal for city commuting. Storage compartments and cup holders are conveniently placed.
Dashboard-mounted gear selector
Mounted higher for better ergonomics, this feature opens up floor space and is easier to use in tight city driving.
