Our reader Prakash has dug out a Japanese commercial of the Suzuki Alto (A-Star) tall-boy, which is exclusive to the Japanese market. Suzuki has not expressed any intention to sell this car anywhere other than the Japanese market. Offered both 2WD and 4WD options, prices range from 677,250 yen to 1,157,100 yen (3.53 to 6.04 lakh rupees)

Do you think the tall-boy model will be a suitable replacement for the ailing A-Star in India?

The Japanese version of A-Star has more cabin space and AWD and CVT feature

Most of us believed the tall boy Suzuki Alto (A-Star in India) exhibited at the Tokyo Motor Show few months ago was a concept car. Little did we know this was the production model and Suzuki had lined it up for a year end launch.

The Japanese Suzuki Alto was revealed today. The New Suzuki Alto has a 2400 mm wheelbase (same as JDM WagonR) offered both 2WD and 4WD options.

Price start from 677,250 yen to 1,157,100 yen (3.53 to 6.04 lakh rupees) and models have hit showroom floors. Suzuki expect to sell 7,000 units of the Alto per month in Japan.

No news or indications of Indian entry.
