The Suzuki Alto Hatch 800cc, produced between 1984 and 1988, is a compact and fuel-efficient hatchback that marked a significant step in Suzuki's journey towards global recognition. This second generation Alto, internally codenamed "SS40," was a departure from its predecessor, featuring a more modern and aerodynamic design. The signature boxy shape of the first generation was replaced with a gently sloping roofline and rounded edges, contributing to a more contemporary and appealing aesthetic. The Alto Hatch's dimensions were compact, offering practicality and maneuverability in urban environments. Powered by a 796cc three-cylinder engine, the Alto Hatch provided a surprisingly peppy performance, making it a popular choice for drivers seeking a reliable and affordable car. The engine, known for its simplicity and durability, was paired with either a four-speed manual or a three-speed automatic transmission. This combination delivered decent fuel economy, a crucial factor in the era of rising fuel prices.
Beyond its practicality and fuel efficiency, the Alto Hatch offered a surprisingly comfortable driving experience. While lacking the luxurious amenities of larger vehicles, the interior was well-designed and functional. The dashboard featured clear instrumentation and easy-to-use controls. The seats, although basic in design, provided adequate support for both the driver and passenger. The Alto Hatch's simplicity and affordability made it a popular choice for first-time car buyers, families, and individuals who prioritized practicality and value. While production of the SS40 model ceased in 1988, its legacy lives on, contributing to the enduring popularity of the Suzuki Alto nameplate and its reputation for reliability, affordability, and fuel efficiency. The service repair manual for this vehicle provides essential information for technicians and owners alike, enabling proper maintenance and repair of this iconic Suzuki model.
