The Suzuki Alto, a compact city car, first graced the roads in 1979, marking a significant shift in Suzuki's strategy towards smaller, fuel-efficient vehicles. The 1977-1984 model years, while not officially part of the first generation, represent the genesis of the Alto, with its beginnings rooted in the Suzuki Fronte Coupe. The "Alto" name, which translates to "high" or "elevated" in Italian, was chosen to reflect the car's superior fuel economy and performance compared to its predecessor. The first generation Alto was a rear-wheel drive, two-door hatchback, offering a minimalist design with a focus on practicality. It was powered by a small, air-cooled, two-cylinder engine, displacing just 539 cc and producing a modest 35 horsepower, but with a remarkable fuel efficiency of over 50 miles per gallon. This small yet efficient engine, combined with the car's lightweight construction, allowed the Alto to conquer urban environments with ease, making it a popular choice in Japan and other countries facing high fuel prices and congested city streets.

Although basic in its features, the Alto offered a surprising level of comfort for its size. The cabin included amenities like a heater, optional air conditioning, and a radio, providing a comfortable experience for passengers. While the car lacked power steering and power brakes, its nimble handling and responsive steering made it surprisingly fun to drive. The 1977-1984 generation Alto was a testament to Suzuki's ingenuity, a small car that packed practicality, affordability, and fuel efficiency into a compact package. Its success paved the way for the future generations of the Alto, establishing it as a global icon for economical and reliable city transportation. This era of the Alto, while overshadowed by the later, more advanced models, holds a special place in automotive history, representing the beginning of a legacy that continues to thrive today.
