Engine and Transmission
   The new Alto/Celerio is powered by a three cylinder 1.0-litre    petrol    engine successfully launched as an engine of the    Splash(*3). This unit is light and compact with low friction    characteristics. Maximum power output is 50kW with a    maximum torque of 90N•m. Fuel consumption is low at    4.4L/100km(*2) and CO2 emissions are just 103g/km(*2).    Standard transmission is five-speed manual and a    four-   speed automatic transmission (uncommon among    one-litre cars) with gate-type shifter is available as an option.

   Suspension
   The front suspension is of MacPherson strut type and the    large, high-rigidity suspension frame is complemented by    further strengthening in the strut mounting areas for superior    handling. The rear suspension has Suzuki's proprietary    3-   link rigid axle design, and incorporates numerous    refinements for the new car. The coil springs and dampers    were tuned for optimum handling stability through extensive    testing on roads in Europe. Suzuki targeted handling that    makes driving enjoyable on urban roads, so drivers enjoy    linear response, gentle roll movements, light steering feel,    and good absorption of shock and vibration. These benefits    reflect the experience Suzuki has gained in motorsport    around the world. The new Alto has a minimum turning    radius of just 4.5m making it easy to manoeuvre and park in    tight spaces.
