A day earlier, rumors started circulating on social media claiming that the Suzuki Alto has been discontinued while the National Highway Authority (NHA) has banned the Alto from motorways.

The rumours spread after an accident when an Alto was crushed by a fully loaded 12-wheeler truck, leaving the tiny hatchback in pieces. The visuals of the accident were horrifying, sparking debates about the safety of small cars on highways. Social media was flooded with speculation, with some claiming the Alto has banned  from entering high-speed motorways. But how much of this was true?

However, the PSMC officials have debunked both the rumors. First, they clarified that the Alto has not been discontinued. Instead, the company is likely to stop production of the Alto VX variant, which lacks essential safety features like airbags and ABS. Listening this was not actually surprising, as we have already written a piece on it.

It was also made clear that the NHA has not imposed any ban on the Alto for motorway use. National Highway and Motorway police (NHMP) Spokeperson said, “There is no news yet”.
