The Pak Suzuki Motor Company (PSMC) has made the decision to add a new model to the Alto lineup. The latest model, known as Alto VXR AGS, is an automatic version that costs less.
VXR AGS receives extra features such a hill-start aid and an anti-lock braking system in addition to a transmission update (ABS). However, purchasers must pay an extra Rs. 144,000 over the base VXR model for these enhancements, making a total of Rs. 2,120,000.

The iconic Suzuki Mehran was replaced by the K-car Alto in 2019. In Pakistan, Prince Pearl and United Bravo are its main rivals.
Depending on the model, it has a 660cc naturally aspirated three-cylinder petrol engine that generates 39 horsepower and 56 Newton-meters (Nm) of torque and drives the front wheels with the help of a five-speed manual or an AGS automatic transmission.
Alto has basic features such as:
- Dual-airbags (VXL and VXR, VXR AGS)
- AC
- Touch-sensitive infotainment unit (VXL only)
- ABS (VXL and VXR AGS)
- Power windows (VXL only)
- Hill-hold assist (VXL and VXR AGS)
- Immobilizer
- Keyless entry
- Power door locks
Since its introduction, Alto has been Pakistan’s best-selling automobile despite recent production reductions, price increases, and quality control issues. Its success could be threatened by ongoing operational issues and an incoming wave of price increases.
