In 1988 China introduced a new engine F8B used as a market export by Chang'an Motors and was replaced by the facelifted SC7081 Alto/City Baby/Little Prince/Happy Prince in 2001. And then there was an another version of AN Alto that was built by Jangquan since 1992

The third generation (CL/CM11) replaced the CA71 in September 1988. This was the last generation of Alto to have an associated Fronte model. It had strikingly angular styling, with an unusual glazed C-pillar on the 5-door. Another curiosity of this generation was the availability of a version with sliding doors, the "Slide Slim", intended to simplify entering and exiting in tight spaces. It also made egress easier for the old and the infirm. 

When the Fronte name was discontinued in October 1989, the passenger car versions (CN/CP11) became Altos. 

Initially the CL11 used the 12-valve 42 hp (31 kW) F5B engine known from the SS71 Cervo, but with an added 34 hp (25 kW) 6-valve version in lower-spec versions. 

A 46 hp (34 kW) DOHC version was also available Alto TAXI Imported in 1990,s  in the Twin Cam Rl. Passenger car versions had the same engines, but all with 2 hp less due to more stringent emissions controls.

The CL11 Alto was sold in Korea, Poland, Romania and Uzbekistan as the Daewoo Tico, and in China by Anchi.

It is famous in Pakistan as a Taxi because it has less fuel consumption 

5th Generation Alto 1988-1994 HA12/22  Model  2000-2012.

The fifth-generation Alto (HA12/22) was introduced in October 1998. The styling was generally more rounded, the shape of the cabin showing the Alto's relationship with the new Suzuki Kei. The 658 cc K6A engine was now also available without a turbocharger, joining the turbocharged version and the familiar 657 cc F6A engines. The turbocharged Works models were available with a 60 hp F6A engine (i.e., 5MT/3AT and FF or 4WD) or a 64 hp VVT K6A (RS/Z, 5MT and FF or 4WD). The front-wheel-drive RS/Z was sold with a non-VVT K6A engine when in combination with a 4-speed automatic transmission, it too with a claimed 64 hp. In December 2000, the Works versions were discontinued, as the Alto was realigned as an economy version. The Suzuki Kei Sports picked up the Works' mantle.

The sixth generation (HA24) was introduced in 2004. The bonnet and headlamps curved down at the front, giving a similar effect to the Toyota WiLL Vi or the Citroën C2. The Alto was realigned as a less costly car to accommodate new models such as the Cervo and Alto Lapin. The more powerful engines were moved into the other more upmarket versions like the Suzuki Kei Works and Alto Lapin SS, leaving the Alto with only a 54 PS (53 hp; 40 kW) version. In Japan, this version of the Alto was rebadged as the Nissan Pino and Mazda Carol.

PESHAWAR: The saying old is gold applied perfectly to the fifth annual Karachi to Khyber Vintage Car Rally, which ended in the city on Saturday.

Ford Mustangs, Rolls Royces and other icons of the motor industry braved the arduous journey from the port city of Karachi to Peshawar, travelling on roads across the length of the country. All cars sported a ‘Lets end polio now’ sticker. This is the third time the vehicles made it to Peshawar. On two other occasions, the rally ended in Islamabad due to security concerns.

Hundreds of car enthusiasts thronged Peshawar Club where the cars were displayed after their journey. The event, sponsored by the Tourism Corporation Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (TCKP), created plenty of excitement as petrolheads gathered around the car owners and fired questions about the maintenance of these prized possessions.



The crowd was given the unique opportunity to get up close and personal with iconic vehicles of yore such as the Mercedes 170 SD, the 1939 Rolls Royce Silver Wraith and the 65’ Ford Mustang, which ‘stang’ lovers will have you believe is the only model to own. Other classics on display included 1966 and 1975 Volkswagens,the 1965 Humber Hawk,the Range Rover classic, an original 1957 Willy’s Jeep, 1939 Chevrolet Master Deluxe, 1939 Austin, 1961 MGA, 1965 Peugeot 404, 1950 Hillman Minx, 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback and the 1969 Mini Clubman 1275GT.

Other restored cars (read labours of love) included a 1947 Buick, 1949 MGY, 1954 Chevrolet, 1957 Austin Healey, 1957 Ford Thunder Bird, 1976 Cadillac Eldorado and the achingly beautiful 1986 Jaguar XJS. “We have brought cars, which people once disposed of as garbage, back on the road,” said Peshawar Classic Cars and Land Rover Club CEO Asim Durrani. The club hosted the event and gathered over a dozen vintage cars for the visitors.

“These efforts are to portray the soft image of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (K-P),” Durrani added. “The vintage and classic car collection here was much better than other parts of the country.” He said the club was buoyed by the initial success of the event, adding that was the reason it was held on an annual basis.

“It was a huge undertaking to have reached Peshawar. We started our journey in May this year from Karachi,” said Khalid Khan, the owner of one of the classics. He added huge financial resources were involved in the preservation and maintenance of these cars. Apart from buying his own vehicles, some beauties from his collection were owned by the elders of his family. Therefore, his love for the automobiles came naturally.

The rally started in May this year from Karachi and passed through different cities of the country before coming to an end when the last car rolled into Peshawar. The organiser of the event said 25 vehicles managed to reach the final destination.

While thanking all those involved in making the event a success, tourism and sport adviser to K-P chief minister said, “Maximum funds are being provided to promote tourism in the province and such events are an example of our efforts”.

Mercedes Benz found in Pakhtunkhwa

 This Mercedes was found in Peshawar and named Amg CSL Series Mercedes 2010 Model its a four door luxury car. The CLS marked Mercedes-Benz's return to the executive-size coupe market since the (W124) E-Class Coupe (a two-door sedan) went out of production in 1995. The (W210) E-Class did not spawn a coupe variant, as Mercedes-Benz choose instead to introduce a smaller coupe based on the compact C-Class, the CLK-Class. However, the CLK-Class was built with a lengthened C-Class wheelbase so it could be slotted as a mid-sized vehicle, and it also featured styling cues, engines, and similar pricing to the (W210) E-Class to give the impression that the (W124) E-Class Coupe had been directly replaced.
Marketed as a four-door coupe, the CLS was designed by the American automotive designer, Michael Fink in 2001 (born 1967), who styled the first CLK, the C-Sport coupe, and is known as the stylist who penned the Maybach 57 and 62. According to a Mercedes-Benz press release, the CLS-class was produced to combine the "strong, emotive charisma" of a coupe with the "comfort and practicality" of a sedan. Save for its four-door design, the CLS's design tends towards a coupe, as its sleek roofline reduces the rear passenger room to a 2+2 arrangement, and it offers a smaller selection of engines tending towards high powered of the range, compared to contemporary sedans such as the E-Class
