Suzuki Alto share with Nissan

Adorable and efficient are two words that serve to define the new Suzuki Alto. Also desirable and profitable use. Nissan plans to fill the gaps in its catalog with the help they need, and for that reason, has decided to dip into the newest of Suzuki, which will sell under its brand name with a new and perhaps some design changes. Paragraph mechanic, in theory, will remain unchanged, using a block of 1.0 extremely frugal.

Although by the time Nissan has not wanted to move his name nor appears that we will see the first photos to the Hall of Paris, everything suggests that the similarities with the High will be important. In any case both will be in the city of lights this November, and take for granted that you can not escape our goals.

Like the Pixo, the High has a one-liter engine with 65 hp, which will be available with automatic four-speed manual or a five. The average consumption is only approved 4.6 L/100, with an emission level of 104 g / km of CO2.

At the moment we do not know the trim levels with those who reach the Spanish market but the strength available includes items such as air bags front, side and curtain, ESP, ABS + EBD, air conditioning, fog lights, alloy wheels, fog lamps, Opening keyless keyless entry, and so on.

In the Salon de l'Automobile Paris 2008, Suzuki will present the premiere in New High, the fifth and smallest member of its renowned range of global strategic models.

The new High combines an attractive design with a large urban mobility and an excellent performance in terms of energy efficiency and CO2 emissions to meet the current needs of motorists and respond to the growing global need for respect for the environment. In addition, it is one of the vehicles more fun to drive urban exist, which is another great example of the philosophy "Way of Life!" Suzuki.

As a second model of the second phase of the global strategy of Suzuki (directed toward the comfort of the user and the opening of a greater range of possibilities for families), the new High offers good levels of comfort and convenience with a total length moderate . Its design, which combines the sporting aspect with a European air and excellent aerodynamic translated to the new High in the car with more class size.

The new High reflects the unique knowledge about small vehicles with which Suzuki has reaped many successes, such as minivehículos in Japan and the compact as the Swift around the world. High is the final answer to the demand of an engine for ecological benefit. Suzuki aims to achieve this model with annual sales of 60,000 units in Europe following its launch planned for spring 2009.

Concept

Ecological:
Reduced consumption and low emissions of CO2
Lighter because of its smaller size
Sporty design and class
Great livability and comfort, being an urban passenger vehicle with the dimensions of a compact.

The new Suzuki Alto is aimed primarily at urban drivers who are looking for a small car with style, allowing it to enjoy and respect the environment, which reflects the ideals of the second phase of the global strategy of Suzuki. The essence of the concept of the new High lies in the idea of Suzuki that people should be able to enjoy an economic engine and environmental performance without sacrificing style, comfort, practicality or performance. Its compact dimensions (the new High is the smallest of the models that integrate the global strategy of Suzuki) play an important role in achieving an outstanding environmental profile with a minimum weight without diminishing comfort to the user.

Design, comfort and practicality

Stylish design, sports and youth that reflect the European taste
Carrier that gives priority to the occupants of the front seats
Spacious storage sites and a spacious and comfortable boot in a few compact dimensions.

The new High has a strong sporting radiating energy and urban despite the compact dimensions of the body. Its design is beautiful and elegant thanks to its aerodynamically efficient profile that combines the rigidity with evocative curves. Is well suited to European tastes, and its resistance coefficient of just 0.30 achieves greater energy efficiency and low emissions of CO2.

The distribution of the carrier spend most of the space in the front seats, still leaving scope for four adults. Everywhere there are practical hollow to save small objects. Despite the compact exterior dimensions of the new Suzuki Alto, is available space for luggage behind the rear seat, rear back and shot the trunk yields a more comprehensive ideal for everyday use.

Engine and transmissions

The new High features a gasoline engine of 1.0 L and three cylinders which previously was mounted successfully in the Splash *. It is a lightweight and compact block of low friction. It offers a maximum power of 50 kW and a maximum torque of 90 N • m, in addition to a reduced fuel consumption (4.6 L/100 km) and CO2 emissions of just 109 g / km. It incorporates standard transmission with manual shift five-speed, or the option of four-speed automatic transmission (rare in vehicles from 1,000 cc), with gear-type gate.
* Available in certain markets

Suspension

The front suspension takes type MacPherson Struts, and his large frame for the suspension of high rigidity is supplemented with additional reinforcements in the assembly of the mainstays for greater maneuverability. The rear suspension design has a 3-link rigid axle exclusive Suzuki with many improvements for this new vehicle. The helical springs and shock absorbers have been developed for maximum stability after conducting numerous tests on European roads.

Suzuki has maneuverability that allows you to enjoy driving on urban roads, so that the driver receives a linear response, softness in swinging, light touch in the right direction and good absorption of shock and vibration. These advantages are a reflection of the experience that Suzuki had acquired through its participation in tests of motor sport worldwide.

The new High has a minimum turning radius of only 4.5m, making it easy to maneuver a car park and even in very small spaces.

Security

Paris Salon: Nissan and Suzuki Alto Pixo

No, we have not finished yet with the Hall of Paris, still has a few firsts for us to talk. This year the French sample has been loaded to bursting with interesting models such as Nissan Pixo and the new Suzuki Alto. If you have not been attentive to the news of recent days, you may be wondering how it is that we are talking about both in the same article, either because it is essentially the same car.

High and Suzuki Alto Pixo shared chassis, engines and internal components, differing only in the front of the body, to the extent that they are nearly indistinguishable seen from behind. Its production will be carried out in India, one of its markets "target" par excellence. Only this detail should tell us everything we need to know about both models: small engine (1.0 liters and 65 hp), consumption and a very low grades compared with just enough references in the segment.


Probably the most graceful of the two is the High, with a considerably more attractive design. The Suzuki Alto Pixo, meanwhile, presents an extremely insulso style and lacking in imagination, more of the models from India that the studies of Japanese design (in fact we will not be surprised if it were a local development). The sensations are transmitted by the carrier fully correspond with the outside, through the use of hard plastics everywhere and some elements of cut little refining (the aerators not closed either side, for example) that otherwise do not get a cab pretty detracting given its broad dimensions. Neither High nor Suzuki Alto Pixo, however, are models that sell for aesthetics, but because of a price-quality relationship is anticipated that really balanced.
