Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 440'000 km | 300'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Suzuki Alto engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 11 years | 15 years | |
| Engine spread: | Used only for this car | Installed on at least 3 other car models, including Toyota Corolla, Toyota Auris, Toyota iQ | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Toyota Yaris might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
