Rendered: Suzuki Alivio Hatch

Spy photos of a heavily disguised Suzuki hatch in recent weeks suggest the carmaker is preparing a hatch companion for the small Alivio sedan that debuted in Beijing earlier this year.

A new pair of renderings from independent artist Theophilus Chin offer a convincing look at what we might see when the camouflage comes off that new hatch, but can we expect to see it in Australia?

The carmaker already offers the low-set S-Cross small SUV in Australia, but a conventional hatch that can take on models like the Toyota Corolla remains absent from the Suzuki range.
