Suzuki A-star concept 2008 London Motorshow

Although not confirmed for Australia yet, the A-star concept is the ideal candidate for a new micro-car.

Suzuki will build the A-star, rumoured to be the new Suzuki Alto, in India.

According to Suzuki’s global press release, the new car will be exported to Europe and beyond, which might potentially include Australia.

The old Alto came to Australia in late 1995 powered by a 1.0-litre engine (39kW - 72Nm) with a starting price of $12,990. It left Australian shores 3 years following a price cut to just $9,990.
