Suzuki 660cc Alto: Pak Suzuki invites for 'biggest reveal of 2019'
According to an estimate, the prices of Suzuki Alto 2019 variants are rumored to be Rs8-12 lacs
(Web Desk) – Pak Suzuki announced the ‘biggest reveal of 2019’ at the Pakistan Auto Show 2019 at Expo Center Karachi from April 12-14.
It has been rumored that Pak Suzuki will be displaying different variants of 2019 hatchback.
According to the PakWheels, Pak Suzuki will be revealing three variants of 660cc Alto at the auto show. These variants include:
• Suzuki Alto VX (without AC)
• Suzuki Alto VXR (with AC)
• Suzuki Alto VXL AGS (with AC and automatic transmission)
Initially, the booking of these Suzuki 660cc Alto 2019 variants has opened for only corporate clients. Naseer Autos, one of Pak Suzuki dealers, says it is charging Rs5 lac for the advance corporate booking of Suzuki Alto 2019. The delivery will start only after the launch.
Pak Suzuki will most likely launch the three Alto variants in June 2019.
According to an estimate, the prices of Suzuki Alto 2019 variants are rumored to be between Rs8 lac to 12 lac.
It was earlier reported that Pak Suzuki started the production of its 660cc Alto in Pakistan.
According to the sources, Pak Suzuki has already shared the parts supply schedule with their vendors and the orders for parts have also started to deliver.
Pak Suzuki has phased out its iconic 800cc hatchback Mehran – company’s top-selling vehicle, after 30 years and is bringing Suzuki Alto 660cc for its consumers.
The Suzuki Alto is currently in its 8th generation, and we will be getting the same 8th gen shape in Pakistan as well, but the features may vary.
As per some vendors, the assembling of the car would initiate with at least 50% of the local parts. In Pakistan, small cars like Mehran have played a key role in developing a strong vendor based industry due to the high localization of parts (up to 70%). Therefore, to facilitate them, Pak Suzuki has reportedly accommodated nearly 80% of Mehran vendors in the parts manufacturing of its all-new Alto.

Apart from everything, the price of Alto will be a significant factor in defining its future in Pakistan, where new players have started to creep in gradually.
A number of leading banks, insurance, and financing companies will also be present at the Pakistan Auto Parts Show 2019 with their specialized services and undeniable financing deals.
The depreciation process of Pakistani Rupee against the US dollar is putting a lot of pressure on the company as far as the introductory price of Alto is concerned. Nonetheless, it’s a wonderful opportunity for the stakeholders to show the potential in the local auto sector through their products and services.
