It’s well known Suzuki is striving to build an imminent world car in India (built by Maruti Suzuki). It was also well known that Suzuki wanted a utilitarian little hatch with a 1.0 liter aluminum petrol engine and manual transmission with super low CO2 emissions – lower than 109g/km. What was unknown, and even took many by surprise, was just how beautiful the Suzuki A-Star concept would be.

When the car hits production later this year it’ll face stiff competition in Europe, but that doesn’t matter really, the real appeal of Suzuki’s ‘world car’ is in Asia where consumers are comfortable picking a Suzuki over any number of competing small hatches. Infact, Suzuki has often singled out India alone for helping the car manufacturer stay afloat. Take a trip to India and you’ll see just how popular Suzuki Altos and Wagons are.

As a competitive and affordable product, the Suzuki A-Star not only has a quality design but broad appeal. If anything, it’ll do spectacular in Asia. There’s a full photo gallery below.
