Yes this new engine Suzuki has introduced known as the K-10 is a good motor overall considering fuel efficiency. Even power output is not bad at around 50 kw with a 3 pot motor. There is another variant of the Alto 'K10' which is quite peppy and more frugal in comparison. Much reduced body weight also ensures lesser space for occupants though.
