Overview
The Suzuki Alto Hybrid (HA97S) 2024 is the ninth-generation kei hatch that Sri Lankans mostly import reconditioned from Japan. It blends a 660 cc R06D engine with a mild-hybrid ISG, prioritising city efficiency, tiny-street agility and low running costs. Trims relevant to imports are Hybrid S and Hybrid X; CVT is standard. Typical asking prices on ikman cluster between LKR 7.3– 8.1 million depending on year/trim/mileage.

out of 5
For Colombo and suburbs, the Alto Hybrid is hard to beat for rupees-per-km and stress-free parking. Pick Hybrid X if you want more convenience kit; Hybrid S for basic value. Treat WLTC economy as a lab figure and budget for lower numbers with A/C and stop-go traffic. For frequent expressway use with passengers, consider stepping up a class.

Exterior Design
Friendly “tall-boy” stance, upright windscreen and simple surfacing maximise cabin space. Kei-class dimensions (3395 L × 1475 W × 1525 H) and short overhangs make it easy to place; 14-inch wheels are typical, with some X cars getting alloys. Colour-keyed mirrors/handles are common; DRLs/headlamps vary by trim/fitment.
