What are the common issues with the Suzuki New Alto?
2 Answers
Poor shock absorption, brake noise, and loud engine noise. Below is a related introduction to the Suzuki New Alto: Power: The New Alto is equipped with a K10B 1.0L engine, paired with a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic transmission. It delivers a maximum power of 53kw at 6000rpm and a maximum torque of 90N.m at 4800rpm, with a top speed of 155km/h and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of just 14 seconds. Exterior: The new Alto features soft and natural body curves, with a rounded and full design that appears very cute, completely moving away from the boxy look of the older Alto models.
I've been driving a Suzuki Alto for almost five years now. To be honest, this little car is quite fuel-efficient for city commuting, but it has quite a few issues. The engine tends to have difficulty starting in winter, and the battery drains quickly, requiring frequent replacements. The suspension system isn't very durable—it clunks over speed bumps or rough roads, and the shock absorbers need replacing every couple of years. The body is particularly prone to rust, especially around the rear wheel arches and door edges, which is worse in rainy areas. I'd recommend regular waxing to prevent rust. The interior plastic parts age quickly, with cracks appearing near the dashboard, and the air conditioning often underperforms in summer. However, maintenance costs are low, making it suitable for beginners commuting to work, but regular checks on engine oil and coolant are essential to prevent overheating.
