This Suzuki Alto is the budget sedan we may never get

ISLAMABAD: AI image generation has been making waves globally, and now Pakistan’s car community is getting in on the action. Local automotive enthusiasts are using tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, DeepAI, SeaArt AI, Leonardo AI, and Midjourney to imagine wild modifications for their rides, from slammed, wide-body transformations to SUV conversions and engine swaps.

But one trend catching attention lately is far less aggressive and much more intriguing: turning Pakistan’s most common hatchbacks into sedans. Whether it’s a Cultus, Picanto, or Alto, curious owners are feeding images into AI tools and asking, “What if this was a sedan?” The latest example making the rounds is a set of surprisingly convincing Suzuki Alto sedan renders.

At first glance, it looks like something Pak Suzuki could have actually built, a no-nonsense, cleanly designed, and unpretentious four-door sedan. The styling is exactly what you’d expect from Suzuki: basic lights, clean lines, and nothing flashy. Yet the proportions are so believable that it’s easy to imagine this as the cheapest sedan in the country.

After seeing the trend on social media, we decided to give it a try ourselves and asked ChatGPT to create a Suzuki Alto sedan. Below is how the AI envisions the Suzuki Alto VXL as a sedan:

Suzuki Alto’s current price in Pakistan

Sadly, this particular Alto sedan doesn’t exist outside the AI realm. Pak Suzuki currently offers only hatchbacks in Pakistan, with the Alto being the best-selling car thanks to its relatively low price and trusted brand name. The current lineup includes three Alto variants: the VXR (Rs2,994,861), the VXR-AGS (Rs3,166,480), and the VXL-AGS (Rs3,326,446).

The company hasn’t had a sedan in its local portfolio since discontinuing the Ciaz. Before that, models like the Margalla, Baleno, Liana, and even the imported Kizashi all came and went without lasting a full decade in the market. For years now, Pak Suzuki has stayed focused on kei cars and small hatchbacks, leaving budget sedan buyers to look elsewhere.

Still, AI’s take on an Alto sedan offers a fascinating “what if” moment for Pakistan’s automotive scene. If Suzuki ever decided to revisit the entry-level sedan space, something like this could make a lot of sense, especially for buyers wanting affordability, practicality, and a proper boot without stepping into the used car market.
