You just saw the eighth-gen Suzuki Alto; a hotter sister is nigh. The Suzuki Alto Turbo RS concept you see above is on the Tokyo Auto Salon guest list, obviously previewing a turbocharged version of the JDM Alto that could be in showrooms by March.
It’s not uncommon for the Japs to sport up their offerings for the Tokyo Auto Salon – as such, the concept’s ‘RS’ moniker makes us wonder if Suzuki has in mind just a regular turbocharged Alto, or that plus a sportier RS version to top the range. Or will there just be a Turbo RS?
We see chrome-surrounded projector headlamps bridged by a double bar, three horizontal grille louvres instead of the normal Alto’s four vertical ones, plus a more aggressive-looking front bumper containing fog lamps, a blacked-out lower intake and a red front lip. Equally red are the mirror caps and 17-inch alloys.
The turbo should boost the regular Alto’s 660 cc three-cylinder R06A engine. Output numbers have not been divulged (not for the normal Alto either). Perhaps more info will surface come January 9, when the Salon opens its doors.
Suzuki Alto JDM eighth-gen
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
The regular alto [8th gen] has great specs like hill hold, VSC, eco-cool, regen braking and most importantly its 610kgs! imagine that weight this this engine. This will be a perfect younger brother to the Swift Sport. 2017 Swift sport will be turbo-ed as well.
Awesome.
This small little car is full of character. A good design.
errr good design? LOL!!!
It is a good design..totally agree with Sammy
*JDM Intensifies*
Cool little car.
As long as its not a kimchi, it will have RV.
If its a KIA, it cannot even be traded in
As long as it is not Proton, it will have BUILD QUALITY.
Want good RV and build quality, sushi cars still your best choice.
Rolls Royce was my best choice
At least the front was quite nice. But the back…. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…… Need more effort
The new Suzuki Alto is powered by the 660cc three-cylinder petrol engine that churns out 54bhp of power and 63Nm of torque.
Turbo wont exceed 63hp.
SUPER UGLY!!!! Uglier than the current gen Alto!
Successor of Kancil teboo!! Mira user gonna rage!
I swear! It really looks like an ah beng kei car!
Reminds of me honda today turbo featured in the anime “your under arrest”…
OMG! FUGLY!!!
The EIGHT(8) generation Alto, Omedetō gozaimasu.
I think Japanese people like it because Alto fits into narrow roads around housing areas and limited parking space or shuttling to LRT / Train stations. Of course, fuel economy, safety and blends to Japanese culture. No sure it has the appealing here except it has to be cheaper A segments.
this at least looks rather cool….rather than the current alto which felt worse than a hyundai i10, which was a rather dull car to start with
This Alto is better than Axia and Myvi.
