Suzuki Mehran is also known as the 2nd generation Suzuki Alto, which is widely popular in Pakistan as it replaced the Suzuki FX (1st generation Alto) and was very cheap. From 1988 to 2019, the car came with an F8B 800cc engine (approximately 54 HP) powerful and very efficient for the roads of Pakistan.
Early on, Mehran came up with a carburetor engine, which was later replaced with a modern fuel injection system with a Euro 2 badge after 2012 models. No major changes in the euro 2 model except the engine, badges, and the front of the car. You can also fit a CNG in this car, as the company also gave away CNG-fitted cars for better fuel economy. This car can give around 12 to 14 km per liter mileage in the city and 16 km+ per liter on the highway.
This car has 2 variants, Mehran VX and Mehran VXR, the only key difference is that VXR has an A/C system in the car unlike VX. the A/C did perform well but mostly caused overheating issues. Well, its performance and efficiency all depend on how well you take care of the car as almost every part of the car is fragile from the door handles to the clutch of the car.
For maintenance or any kind of work, you will also find an expert mechanic for Mehran, as it has been around here for a very long time. The car never came with a 660cc or automatic transmission or ever came in a sports-focused version or a convertible; yet this car can be modified in a way to get almost anything out of it, as many enthusiasts have pulled off something like this.
Besides being laughed at or made fun of, this car also teaches you many things about cars and maintenance, as many people have Mehran as their first car to start driving or upgrading from a bike to a car. As the dollar rate in 2023 is high, many cars are not within the reach of many people, so Mehran is their only choice.
The car can be found to be under 3 to 12 lack depending on the condition of the car and the model year.
January 2023, Mehran VX and VXR old model can be found around the range of 4 to 7 lac, Mehran VX and VXR Euro 2 can be found in the field of 8 lac to 12 lac.
