2018 SUZUKI ALTO

The 2018 Suzuki Alto is a compact and efficient city hatchback powered by a **658 cc (often rounded to 660 cc) 3-cylinder petrol engine** (R06A), producing around **46 PS (≈ 45 hp/34 kW) at 6,500 rpm** and **55–56 Nm of torque at around 4,000 rpm**, paired with either a **5-speed manual** or **CVT automatic**, and driving the front wheels([KDG Kenya][1], [Pakwheels][2]). It has a small, nimble footprint—measuring just **3,395 mm in length**, **1,475 mm in width**, and **1,490–1,500 mm in height**, with a **wheelbase of 2,460 mm**([philkotse.com][3], [Pakwheels][2], [Farmmachinerysales][4]). Lightweight (around **650–680 kg**) and extremely fuel-efficient, it can deliver **18–25 km/L in real-world driving**, with some tested figures reaching up to **37 km/L** under Japan’s JC08 test standard([peachcars.co.ke][5], [KDG Kenya][1], [BEST CARS][6], [Pakwheels][2]). Performance isn’t its focus—the top speed is approximately **140 km/h**, and acceleration is leisurely, but the Alto truly shines in urban environments thanks to its tight turning radius (\~4.2 m) and efficient operation([peachcars.co.ke][5], [Pakwheels][2], [KDG Kenya][1]).
