Life should be fun, so should your car Why be sensible all the time? Sometimes you just want to kick your heels back and have fun. Just one look at the new Alto with its stylish curved body and you can’t help smiling. In a grey world, the Alto is a splash of colour. But it’s not just a fun car it’s a functional one too. With five doors it’s perfect for you and your friends and yet it’s still compact enough to park in the smallest of parking spaces. It’s also very economical with up to 74.3 mpg.* Plus with CO2 emissions starting at only 103g/km** it’s one of the cleanest cars around.

For a small car it’s big on protection. With ABS and dual front and side airbags standard across the range, all you have to worry about is choosing the colour that says the most about you. *extra-urban consumption figure for manual transmission model **on models fitted with manual transmission

Built-in personality The Alto body shape is eye-catching, curvaceous and stylish, which gives it a lot of character. It also gives it great aerodynamics. Little touches like the streamlined wing mirrors reduce drag and therefore help reduce fuel consumption (64.2mpg on combined cycle)* and CO2 emissions (103g/km)*. The Alto also has a body shell that’s strong, but lightweight. And although the new Alto is cute, it’s also sporty with sculpted rear detailing giving it a racy look. *on models fitted with manual transmission.

Curves in all the right places The Alto is available in nine striking colours giving it a stylish and distinctive look. The rounded front headlights add to its fun personality, whilst the more angular rear lights give it a sleeker, sportier feel. There’s also a wide shapely tailgate with internal opener. So whether it’s your gym bag or shopping bags, it’s easier to get stuff in and out. For the finishing touch the SZ4 models add 14" alloy wheels, front fog lamps and colour coded door mirrors and handles which complement the car beautifully and give it a sporty look.

Looks good inside and out Whilst the outside catches your eye, it’s the inside that makes you take a closer look. The stylish dashboard design has a real sense of movement that echoes the curves of the body. The new Alto may be compact, but it has been designed with a clever use of space giving ample room for four adults. Storage compartments are placed conveniently in the doors and central console, with bottle holders and space for two coffee cups. The Alto’s boot offers a useful 129L of space. Perfect for those weekends away, a trip to the beach or your weekly shop.

Live free, drive safe Life is for living. But when it comes to your car, it’s best to be safe. For a compact car the new Alto is big on safety features. There are front and side airbags as standard and on the SZ4 model there’s curtain airbags as well. There’s ABS with EBD (Electronic Brake force Distribution) which makes sure the optimum amount of braking power is distributed to each wheel and helps prevent the wheels locking or skidding on slippery surfaces, keeping you safely on the road. In addition ESP®* (Electronic Stability Program) is standard on SZ4 models and helps you keep in control in adverse conditions by electronically assisting in braking and managing the engine speed. Whilst all this technology keeps everyone safe, some features specifically look after those who don’t even drive yet. ISOFIX child seat tethers are fitted as standard to look after your most precious cargo. *ESP® is a registered trademark of Daimler AG
