In Pakistan, the Suzuki Alto price starts from Rs 23 lakh 31 thousand, while in India, it costs only Rs 3 lakh 25 thousand. The top variant of Alto in India costs Rs 5.12 lakh, which is remarkably lower than the base model in Pakistan.
India Variants and Prices:
In India, the Suzuki Alto comes in various variants, including:
- Petrol Alto: Rs 3.25 lakh to Rs 4.56 lakh
- CNG Alto: Rs 4.16 lakh to Rs 5.12 lakh

- Alto VX: Rs 23 lakh 31 thousand
- Alto VX AR: Rs 27 lakh 7 thousand
