The Suzuki Alto Lapin LC is a retro-themed Kei car reminiscent of the Suzuki Fronte 360 model popular in Japan in the late 1960s. Starting with the front view, there are large headlights with chrome bezels, a vintage-style radiator grille and steelies. Other than that, the car is little different from the stock Lapin model.
The interior greets with tartan upholstery
on the seats that goes along with chocolate-tinted leatherette. Light beige
plastic inserts help the cabin appear more spacious than it is, and buyers can
choose between fake wood and pearlescent décor for the dashboard.
A large non-digital odometer takes up the
most space in the gauge cluster. A small 7-inch touchscreen display provides
multimedia controls. Other amenities on board include HVAC, heated seats and a
couple of admittedly rather unusual features, such as slide-out cup holders
built into the front fascia or a tissue box in the glove compartment.
Powering the Kei car is a 0.66-liter
engine mated to a CVT box for 63 PS. Aside from front-wheel
drive, you can actually order AWD if you need it. Prices in Japan start at
¥ 1,400,000.
