In India it is known as Maruti Suzuki A-Star, but outside India it is Suzuki Alto. The car now has a new mileage record to its credit. The car has completed a mileage marathon in Australia. And this time it was successful in achieving a mileage figure of 25km/l overall. And this is a record. The car had an amazing mileage of 50km/l in city. And these amazing numbers helped the car become the most fuel efficient car of all the vehicles that was a part of the marathon. The Suzuki Alto had completed a marathon run across New Zealand last month, averaging as much as 22.5km/l.

The marathon, Global Green Challenge, ran from Darwin to Adelaide in Australia. It placed conventional and alternative fuel cars against each other in a 3,040km real world test. The winner of the challenge was the vehicle judged to have recorded the biggest progress over its official fuel burning figure. The 'Light' and 'Small' car categories were won by the Suzuki Alto. It also topped the 'Best urban cycle' category and recorded overall CO2 emissions of 89.9g/km, using just 123 litres of fuel for the seven-day trip.

The Suzuki Alto or rather Maruti Suzuki A-Star uses a simple combination of lightweight design, aerodynamic efficiency and a small and efficient 1.0-litre petrol engine. The Alto was able to beat similar size diesel cars such as Ford Fiesta ECOnetic Turbo Diesel and MINI Cooper D, cars those are widely accepted as the most fuel efficient cars in the segment.
