More Expert Reviews on Indica and A-Star

Altomatic

By CarWale Team12 Aug 2010

On seeing the A-Star, the first thing comes in my mind is the Alto. Yes, Suzuki sells the A-Star as the Alto in other European markets. I had got a chance to spend some time (years ago, sometime in 2004) with one of the Suzuki Alto’s which were ready to ship to Europe. The Alto was a left-hand drive, powered by a turbocharged petrol engine, with ABS and airbags as a standard feature (as it was made mandatory features by EuroNCAP for any new European car)
