SUZUKI has launched a special edition Alto SZ-L model, with just 500 cars up for grabs at £8,170.

The SZ-L is based on the popular SZ3 mid-grade model with air conditioning, pollen filter and side airbags as standard equipment but adds front fog lamps and various exterior and interior upgrades.

On the outside the SZ-L is recognised by its new design wheel caps, black fog lamp surrounds and black ‘B' pillar trims as well as SZ-L embossed tailgate trim and black side mouldings. It's available in either Superior White or Bright Red non-metallic colours.

Interior upgrades include SZ-L carpet mats plus silver coloured trim for gearshift knob, side ventilation louvres and door openers. And the individual theme is continued for the heater control, gear lever and door handle surrounds, which are in body colour.

Suzuki's finance offers have been extended until September with the Alto SZ-L available on new low rate finance for £7,495 with a deposit of 15 per cent. Payments are £199 per month, spread over three years.

All three models in the Alto range are also included in the offer, with the SZ2 model available for £6,995 with a 10 per cent deposit.

Zero per cent finance offers are also available on Alto with a 45 per cent deposit. 

Alto is one of the least polluting five-door city cars on the market with tailpipe emissions of 103g/km as well as offering 64.2mpg on the Combined cycle.
