Stability control will feature as standard on the revised 2011 Suzuki Alto range with no change to its list price.
Both the entry-level Alto GL and the up-spec Alto GLX will receive the potentially lifesaving technology in addition to the already standard anti-lock brakes and six airbag package.
Additionally, Alto GL will now include a dashboard-mounted tachometer (previously only on GLX), body-coloured door handles and external mirrors, plus driver's seat height adjustment.
The range topping Alto GLX gains added equipment too scoring alloy wheels and front fog lamps.
"Unlike some of our competitors, we have included the potentially lifesaving technology at no extra charge to customers" said Suzuki Australia's General Manager, Tony Devers.
"At just $12,490 drive-away for the five-speed manual, there is no car that matches the Alto's combination of four-star safety – including six air-bags – and value.
"Customers who prefer not to change gears themselves can drive away with the Alto GL four-speed automatic for just $13,990.
"With this upgrade Suzuki is once again redefining the term 'value for money'
"With a fuel economy of just 4.7 litres per 100 kilometres, Alto has always been one of the cleanest cars on the planet. Now with the addition of
ESP as standard across the range it's also one of the safest."
The revised Suzuki Alto will be in showrooms from December 1.
